Did you read the message about some of the cemeteries being offline right
now and the entire site being under reconstruction? It's posted right on
the Jefferson County page as well as the Missouri cemetery site. Anytime a
major reconstruction occurs there will be problems to work out. Patience is
the key.

Subject: [MO-CEM] Big Mess - Blackwell Cemetery Listings

Please take notice that for some reason the listings for all the graves
belonging to the family of Jeremiah Blackwell buried in the old Blackwell
Family Cemetery near Blackwell, Missouri, who were previously correctly
listed on the Jefferson County web site as being buried in the family
cemetery, have all now been moved over to the Blackwell Masonic Cemetery
listing.
http://rootsweb.com/~mojeffer/transcriptions/cemeteries/blackwellm.html

The Blackwell Family Cemetery has been totally eliminated from the cemetery
list.
http://rootsweb.com/~mojeffer/transcriptions/cemeteries/cemeteries.html

I don't understand how this happened! These are two completely different
cemeteries! They have been correctly listed as two seaprate cemeteries on
the Jefferson County web site for several years now. If someone is going to

start modifying and moving around cemetery listings, they should at least be

familiar with what cemeteries there are, where they are at, and who is in
them. Also, if cemeteries are are listed separately, you don't just
suddenly lump them into one cemetery and eliminate the other cemetery from
the listing without a good reason for doing so. What a royal mess this is!

Also, I'm suddenly finding that I can't even get to other cemeteries
scattered around Jefferson County, Missouri, where Blackwell family members
are buried such as Moontown, DeSoto City Cemetery, Mount Olive, etc.. I
wonder what cemetery those Blackwells will eventually pop up in? The
listings were correct as they previously appeared and I can't begin to
imaging why someone felt the need to move them around. I hope this mess is

sorted out real soon!

I'm sending a copy of this message to the last known address of the site
administrator so that he/she will be put on notice about this situation and,

hopefully, get it corrected immediately. I am sending this message to this
List as well so that Blackwell researchers will be put on notice that the
Blackwell cemetery listings presently appearing on the Jefferson County,
Missouri Mo-Gen-Web site are WRONG!

Sincerely,
R. Blackwell-Holt
