Vivian,
Wanted to get that other part out to you first.
Referring back to my original e-mail, they do not
link to our site. They have it linked to their own
pdf file!! They have their own peach county site.
The information would have to be compared to
see if they copied ours into a pdf file. Their site
does not contain all the cemetery information I
have so there is no link to the archives. I am
wondering and concerned about this????
