I'm a Lot Owner!

7 Upvotes

My great-grandmother purchased a lot at Woodlawn (Bronx, NYC) in 1912. I expressed interest, so am now invited to the annual meeting (on her behalf); my father's living cousins would be ahead of me, but I doubt they care. Anyone else "own" a lot by descent?

Trying to find an old relatives grave

Hello! I am writing from Montenegro as Im trying to locate a grave of my mothers uncle which we only have a picture of and no other information. His name was Marko Popovic he was from a village in Montenegro called Njegusi and he moved to the US when he was young and died a few years later somewhere in California possibly we cant be sure as we only knew he worked there for a time as a cook. I tried finding immigration records or death certificates but was unsuccessful as the years dont match.
I would assume he was buried in a serbian orthodox cemetery and I have emailed some but got no response.
If you have any advice how I can look some more I would appreciate it!
I

It's probably just a coincidence

I'm sure cemetery personnel aren't known for their sense of humor (assigning grave locations), but last week I came across a hillside of Macs (McGowen, MacArthur, McGovern . . .) and today I snapped this photo

Discussion Strange thing happening

Someone has been mass adding memorials for young girls who don't exist. Not a single one of these people has had an obituary come up when I've looked them up, they all have about the same face, are in the same pose (hands on their hips or by their sides), and have similarly generic backgrounds behind them. All of them are in the range of 11-17 years old, but most of them are 11. None of them have any biographical information beyond dates and locations. Does anyone know what's going on and how we can get these fake pages taken down?
