Affidavits & Cemeteries

In the past I have always asked at the cemetery office, who pays
for the perpetual care or for the upkeep of the graves. This helps you
find other relatives (mostly ones still living). Of course I would ask
who purchase the lot and who now owns it. Now, I know to ask for
affidavits, too! :)
I sent to Woodlawn Cemetery, in the Bronx, for records. When I
received the information I received something I never thought of pertaining to
the owners of cemetery lots -- affidavits. The affidavits show who the
cemetery lots were handed down to through the family -- giving the
person's name(s) & relationships. Interesting! With genealogy you
learn something new all the time. :)
