I think in most of the cases you will find that the person sharing a burial site is a relative. I recently researched the grave of my great grandmother She was buried in 1907 her son was buried there in 1959. There were also two infants buried there that no one knew who they were. After researching the records that including tracing a family back to the Acores I found out one was the grand child of my great grandmother and the other was the niece of a great uncle by marriage. So the family names in the grave site were Rocha, Carvalho, Alves and Pavia.

When my cousin, years and years ago, found Abraham Seriqui in Sharei Sedek cemetery she asked why it was so overgrown and was told that no one was paying for the upkeep. She told them that if she had known, we all may have sent them $$ for his grave, at least! The rest of our family is Protestant (which may be one reason they couldn't find us) so I will find the name of the cemetery and write to them. thanks for the idea! - Shirl - _____ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, March 8, 2013 2:50 PM Subject: RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] burials Hi Shirl, It would be interesting to ask at the cemetery just why that happened. They have records of payments for the upkeep and so maybe they can figure it out. When I located my great grandfather's grave in the Lutheran cemetery in Queens, NY, I told my uncle about it and he sent them money for the upkeep. So I am sure they have good records. -- -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
