Hi Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. More than likely if your relatives were buried on their property the Corp didn't know about them and they probably were never taken up and may never be found. I have found that not all bodies were removed from the Cemeteries because the men digging them up were scared and they only took the head stones and left the bodies. I have been told a lot of stories about this and i'm not sure how much is true, but all agree that not all bodies were moved.

I suspect they were buried on the property, most of which is now under the lake. I've checked cemetery lists, but they do not appear on the lists. I'm wondering, however, if a map exists showing where burial sites were before the bodies were moved. I'm thinking I might be able to identify currently unidentifed graves in the new cemeteries based upon where the graves were before they were moved. Anyone know of such a map? I've checked with the Corps of Engineers, but they couldn't help. ==== TXHILL Mailing List ==== Website by Debbie: http://homepages.go.com/~disco77/HillTx.html Photosite by Barb: http://www.zing.com/album/?id=4293428835 ============================== Create a FREE family website at MyFamily.com! http://www.myfamily.com/banner.asp?ID=RWLIST2 _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
