Sue,

I have located the address for the church.

Salem United Church of Christ
307 Covered Bridge Rd
Oley, PA

(Sorry, I don't have the zip as yet.)

I have received a pledge of support from the Berks County Genealogical
Society. I am waiting on a man to send me the actual newspaper article about
this so I know just what is going on. From a snippet I did receive, local
officials are *not* happy about the planned move (a good sign).

The graves possibly date back as early as 1735.

I am planning on trying to obtain a listing of the 57 graves in question. I
already have the address of the Oley Township Officials, but at present I do
not know whether they are the unhappy ones, or whether the article refers to
the officials of Berks County itself.

As I get more information I will feed it through to this list (among others),
so that we may continue a plan of action.
