    2. James, Father Fanti at St John's is usually too busy to check individual cemetery burials. He runs the parish all by himself, so has many other duties as you can imagine. His rectory clerk may only be part time...and am not sure they have a computer, either. However, they are more than happy to do something for you if they have the time. Father is a genealogy buff also. He's a joy to speak with and when I saw him last he was trying to upgrade the Laurel Hill cemetery grounds and make sure gravestones were not being cracked or mutilated with the mowing that is done. The cemetery is perpetual care...which means the parish church handles all the physical upkeep, including records. It is a beautiful place. Maybe you will be able to visit sometime and check on those family burials you wanted. I would try again though,by phone or letter to see if any one can help you. As for the Historical Society..to which one do you refer? The Susquehanna Depot Historical Socieity is located in the town shopping plaza...site of the old RR works. I don't believe they have a computer..and don't think they have cemetery records, but I could be wrong..it's been a while since my last visit. Last year they were only open on Sunday afternoons. The Susquehanna (County) Historical Society is located in Montrose...(just a short drive from Susqy town) and they are open all week. They may have some cemetery records. Don't have their phone number at hand but information could give it to you. There are on Monument Square in Montrose PA, in building with the library. The library number is the one you want, then they transfer your call. Jeannette
