I have tracked many, but I am sure there are others. Please let me know of any possible information you are aware of.

Especially very old cemeteries, not necessarily cared for as well as more active ones. Best I have seen where my father and mother rests, rabbits, ducks, Canada geese, Swans, and who knows what else when it is dark, the beasties of the night. Possums, raccoons, etc. Very large lake in center area. A very busy place, when my Dad passed in '76, and Mom in '95. My husband in '97. Although, he does not rest there. His wish to be put on the wind. Still very busy last visit, 2002. More than likely still is to this day. As in all places, one must be on your guard. Do not leave valuables unlocked in your car, nor in plain sight. Not every vehicle are grounds personel, that passes by. But then, has been many years since visited there. They are in the "newer" section, so the ones with above ground monuments, are clustered at the entrance to the cemetery. But any one new all have the flat markers. Ease of keeping the grounds neat and mowed. Maintenance, am told, was paid in full at time of purchase of my parents plot. Suppose for many years to come, they have sufficient space to expand, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Do give a map showing location, of loved ones, ancestors as such, Inglewood Park Cemetery, Inglewood, CA. 90302. There is no charge for this service, for now. In a message dated 1/7/2009 3:45:24 P.M.

This cemetery is safer than the one immediately next door, Fairmount, where a pack of wild dogs was running about the day we were there! Dee **************New year...new news.

Don't forget though they may not have attended church in their own counties. The Marx room of the Easton Library has most of it's records pretty well indexed. There are many families in their records, not from Pa. or Northampton County. So personally I think It's start there. It's a remarkable place.

However, records of divorces are at the Superior Court Records Center in Trenton. My understanding of NJ law is that adoptions are sealed by the court and available only under certain circumstances and with legal help. I think the Archives web site has the details of what they hold for what years. and its cheaper to make copies on your own if in nj than to ask the archives to do it or certified genealogist. and the area is fine to go to good luck. linda **************New year...new news.

I found the LDS microfilm # for the records by looking on the Old Newark website and then sent off to the LDS library for copies. I got burial records for each of the Logans buried there- it was $2 per record. At the time, there was a man who would take photos of a grave for a fee- his offer is no longer mentioned on the site. An alternative would be to list the burial on findagrave and then request photos. I got burial records for my great grandparents, so I knew where they were supposed to be- but the photographer reported to me that there was no marker for them. One of my goals is to get one made for them.
