I do not begrudge Sarah the time or space she is using on this list. If it weren't for people like her, I expect far more of our cemeteries would be in the same shape as this Masonic Cemetery. If this isn't a "chat room", can you explain why it is okay to discuss who is a cousin to whom and how we might be related and where the records are found and not a cemetery clean-up project? Get your priorities straightened out. Many, many genealogist discuss cleaning up cemeteries and even solicit help on lists every day. Sarah is using this list exactly as it was intended -- in my humble opinion -- and* *if you are tired of this topic, it really doesn't take a lot of time or energy to hit your delete key. Please feel free to do so, immediately. It certainly takes much more effort to grouch about it. Why are you wasting your precious time? ~~~~~~~ Sarah, my sympathies about some of the short sighted people who can not see their way clear to helping you but would rather chastise you. You are doing a great job and many will appreciate it and remember how hard you have worked on this project. I know I will. Diane Scannell A list member who has people buried in the Masonic Cemetery and thinks it is every bit as disgusting as Sarah does. I just don't have the good health to get out there with my gardening tools to help her clean it up. Wish I did!
