GEN-NYS-L: To Ontario County Researchers

Howdy, I have just been handed the job of caretaker for a small cemetary in
Town of Hopewell, in Ontario County about four miles east of Canadaigua. I
have a list of names of those burried but do not as yet have any dates. There
are between 400 and 500 names on the list and I am getting it fat fingered
into the computer as we speak. I will send this list to anyone who sends a
mailer and blank disk for Ibm compatible. Either 5 or 3 inch 360k, 720k,
1.2m or 1.44m media can be accomodated. As soon as the snow melts I intend
to copy all of the inscriptions and make them available.

I have another motive for seeking relatives of those burried here and that is
that I could use some help cleaning up the place in the summer and I thought
perhaps if any ancestors were coming bye this way they might like to spend an
afternoon assisting with mowing etc. There is a bank account set asside for
that purpose but it is down to a few thousand and may not last. My
responsibility will end when the last grave is filled when the county will
take over. There are only a couple left. I intend to get all the insciptions
down before that happens.
So let me know if you want a copy of the list and/or to put in a request for
the full inscriptions. I will include copies of my family database on the
same disk as long as I am about it.

Thanks again for your interest in family Histories,
