Subject: Visting Old Family Cemeteries
Date: Tue, 01 Aug 2000 09:24:55 GMT


Recently I found an old family cemetery in Edgefield County SC. This
cemetery is a little over a 1/4 mile off the road, down a private drive,
with POSTED NO TRESSPASSING signs at the entrance of the drive. The people
who own the land do not live in the county. I could find no address or phone
number to call to ask for permission to survey and photograph the cemetery.
My question is this : Is there a law that protects my rights as a descendent
of this family to visit this cemetery? I have heard that there is - but I
have yet to find one on record and don't quite know where to look.
