Hi!
This is an UPDATE.Some of the famous burials I
mentioned earlier are actually in Ferncliff
Cemetery which we are not going.Actress Louella
Gear is in Woodlawn Cemetery.I do not know if I
will see her grave.Information on her was on
display at the recent Geer reunion in
Connecticut.Actor Richard Gere and Louella Gear
are BOTH Geer kin regardless of
spelling!Elizabeth (Cady) Stanton in Woodlawn
Cemetery is a descendant of
Stonington,Connecticut; Founders Walter Palmer
and Thomas Stanton.
The Connecticut Gravestone Network
http://www.ctgravestones.com is having a trip to
New York cemeteries Sleepy Hollow Cemetery
www.sleepyhollowcemetery.org and Woodlawn
Cemetery
www.thewoodlawncemetery.org ,.As you may
know notable people are interred in these
cemeteries.Leona Helmsley and Brooke Astor was
recently interred in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.
A good cemetery source is

Departure will be from East Hartford,Connecticut
on Sunday,September 9TH, at 8:00AM and return
around 6:00 PM,.Stops are planned in Waterbury
and Danbury,Connecticut.Possible other
stops.Route#84 will be followed.Ms.Ruth Shapleigh
Brown who leads the CGN can be reached for
further details at 860-643-5652,.
I plan on going.Please act on this promptly.A
number I mistakenly earlier listed are actually
in Ferncliff Cemetery in New York.We are NOT
going to that cemetery.
Also Wikipedia is not confirmed information as I
understand it you but can check on these
cemeteries on it also:
