Hi Shirl,

I went to the page that had my grandmother's tombstone on it and it has the name of the other woman (Johnson). Since that lady died in the late 1880s, my grandmother must be buried on top of her. Maybe my father just said she was buried in the same grave. No mention of my grandmother on the tombstone, though. And no mention of the cemetery!
Roxbury or Boston???

Cheri, the bad ass, knuckle-breaking school teacher that she is (:-) might get on your case about changing the subject. So I am answering under the original subject of burials.
But in answer to your message, what I don't understand is you say you called them and got details, but then don't know where the cemetery is located. How can that be? Is it some remote office that operates more than one cemetery?

Good idea, Doug!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 -

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.
