Since YOU HAVE TO HAVE APPROVAL by the court to exhume a grave, there should be a listing of this in the local courthouse. Like I said, my county has a book of names of the dead, where they were originally buried, dates of birth and death, and where they were transferred to. You may wish to call the courthouse of the county you believe the burial took place and see if they don't have documentation of the event. Blessings, Janet
