Margie,

It's really no problem at all. I love to try and help people with their
research. I'm not far from the Lowell Connector which is really not that
far from the bigger cemeteries in Lowell.

For future reference, I do have a 1903, 1929 and 1937 directories for
Lowell. So if you need a look-up, don't hesitate to ask.

As for the archives, I beliee you do need the dates. Thank god I was
fortunate to have the date's of my relatives. I still have tons more to
do....I haven't even made it to my father's side yet *L* I have two brick
walls on my mom's side that are driving me crazy...my great grandmother and
her son. Boy you have to be a detective, but I do loooove a challenge.

I will definitely print this email and keep it and the next time I'm at the
cemetery I will definitely see if I can find something. I have every other
Friday off, so maybe on my next Friday off (6/27) I might take a drive and
see what I can find. It's no problem at all, like I said I practically live
right around the corner from the cemeteries.

I do hope those links help in someway. Good luck!
