No modern database for Harmony. At the library they have a binder that has a list of everyone buried before 2000 and their plot numbers, and it's several inches thick. The librarian said even that isn't completely accurate (for example, she said, her grandmother isn't listed and she is buried there), but it is alphabetical at least. :) I asked if there was a plot map (since the cemetery is HUGE and I've got about a dozen different graves I would like to specifically locate), and she said no, that the Milton borough office is in charge of Harmony but they have even less info than the library; in fact if we stopped by their office they would send us right back to the library. Frustrating. And surprising I thought, for such a - like I said - HUGE cemetery. I'm tempted to offer to formulate a database myself - my mom's entire family has lived in the Milton area for the last century (had a restaurant on Front Street from about 1906 to mid 70s) so I have a personal interest as many relatives are buried there. Anyway, I'll be returning in another week to do some very specific gen research and because the binder is so thick, I'm bringing my list of people to compare with their monster list of thousands. If there's a specific name you'd like looked up, I'd be happy to check the book. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
