Steve, Here are the directions as I remember them. When I visited a few years ago there were only a few gravestones remaining. Fortunately the ones in which I was interested were in good condition. I was there a year or so ago. Enter Germany Valley from Shirleysburg and then take a right turn leading to the Old Stone Church. (I don't remember the road names) At the church turn left. Go a short distance, less than 1/2 mile and take a right turn up a short road. The road on which you'll turn right is just before a 90 degree curve to the left. At the top of the short road is a small area between the houses that has a wooden fence around it. This is the cemetery and Debra Black is buried there. Her husband was Samuel Bard who is my gg-grandfather, only I'm descended through his first wife.
