Hi all,
I'm still new at this and I have a few questions - ready?
I've located the cemetery where my grandfather (dod: 12/1983) and his
parents (dod: 2/1940 & 3/1958) are buried. Where would I find their
obits and what kind of info would I find there? How about locating the
possiblity of siblings for any of them? Most of the family is no longer
with us and I've just about worn my poor parents out with ?'s. How
helpful/useful would the funeral home that handled the arrangements be?
Are they usually cooperative and how long do they keep records?
I've been reading this list for a while and everyone seems so ready to
help where they can. Thank all of you for your willingness to assist
others. If I can help anyone with info from New Mexico, let me know.
Chris
