Greetings - I joined this site in order to help ensure the accuracy of information and respectful treatment associated with my deceased family members.

I am hoping to "reunite" as many members of my immediate family as possible and provide continuity for the next generation in the upkeep of these memorials.

To those of you who have been gracious enough to aid me in my quest, I express my warm appreciation.

Sincerely, jv

Postscript: If you are requesting a change or update to information on a memorial, I will expect a reference, since I have been burned by parties who cite "Ancestry Family Tree" as their source. Please do your own research and be prepared to back it up. Thanks!

For those researching Colonists in Concord, MA, here is a link to an online version of "Concord, Massachusetts Births, Marriages, and Deaths, 1635-1850" which may be helpful:

It is searchable!! HOWEVER … it is based on Optical character recognition (OCR), so for example, Hastings is found as Bastings.

And, not to forget, a link to "A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England Showing Three Generations of Those Who Came Before May, 1692," by James Savage:

Dear Sir / Madame; We are having a very difficult time identifying our great aunt's burial location. Her name was Cleofas Herrera, and I believe she is buried in Plot: 52, 2, 2, 6.

I would appreciate any help you may be able to provide regarding who paid for the burial / plot and if there are any other burials in that plot or nearby, and if so, what the name of the parties may be.

Findagrave shows the following info:

HERRERA, CLOSE (MRS.)

Died at age 38

Buried 11-23-1913

Block, lot, space: 52 2 2 6

UDV

Is there any other name associated with this burial?

What does UDV mean?

Also, please indicate what fees are applicable to this research request.

Happy hunting!
