although you may have to explain it to the landowner, no one can stop someone from visiting a cemetery in Texas. It doesn't' matter who owns the land around it. Anyone can make 'reasonable' access to the cemetery for visiting. If anyone needs the laws and the statutes to keep I can send them . It is frustrating how many landowners don't understand this but they need to be informed. NO land owner can change the fact the cemetery has precedence over their usage of the land. susan PHa2221@aol.com wrote: > > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Paternal lines Moore, Burrell, White, Daugherty, Davis, Clack > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1hB.2ACE/1452 > > Message Board Post: > > Is there a way for decendants to be able to get to this cemetery.

He has since passed away. I would like to be able to get there before all the markers are gone or destroyed but need someone to direct us decendants to the owner of the property and how we go about getting permission to cross into land that has been fenced to get to a cemetary that needs help before it is completely destroyed. > > Would appreciate all the help we can get.
