I had quite a few people removed from American Mechanics. They were all moved to Philadelphia Memorial Park in Frazer, PA. Call 1-610-644-9150. They are very helpful. -----Original Message----- From: larzemail@yahoo.com To: PA-PHILA-CEMETERIES@rootsweb.com; PHILLY-ROOTS@rootsweb.com; paphilad@rootsweb.com Sent: Sat, 28 Apr 2007 1:57 PM Subject: [Phly-Rts] American Mechanics Cemetery: comment & a question In returning a research favor for someone, I visited HSP to view the Palmer Vault records. They were disappointing, as only a few years of the vault were covered, but those records that were available for the cemetery in earier years were quite helpful. Since that didn't work out, I knew this person had one ancestor buried in American Mechanics, and I took a look there. These records are excellent! There are 3 sets available, all at HSP--don't know if they are found elsewhere--and you can search by surname in alphabetical order, by plot card, and by the actual register. The register pages that I viewed were from 1859 & 1899, and they had similar info to that found in death registers. One question that I do have: how might I learn what became of folks who were disinterred? It appears that all were moved in 1951, but only one that I looked up of about 20 had a note of where they were moved to. --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?
