    1. [PAFRANKL] Desperately need help!

    3. Last fall I was in Franklin County doing research on my husband's family and when I visited the cemetery at Grindstone Hill I was unable to find several of the graves of his ancestors. One was his grandmother who died in 1903 which is not so long ago as to have her tombstone deteriorated to the degree that it cannot be read. So, we came to the conclusion that she probably did not have a tombstone. We saw the sign that they are selling cemetery lots and called the number listed to see if we could get a copy of the layout of the cemetery in an effort to find these missing ancestors. We were amazed that they gentlemen told us they did not have anything that showed the graves! We called around and contacted everyone who we thought could help and got nothing. Now - our question is this: If they have no idea where the unmarked graves are and who is buried there, will they just sell any open ground to anyone who wants a lot? There has got to be a way to find who is buried there and where! Can anyone give me some suggestions on how to find these graves. We have thought about hiring a lawyer and getting an injunction to stop them selling any lots, but there has got to be a better way to find these graves. Janet in Baton Rouge, LA
