I saw where you referred to the Grandin Cemetery across from the Bethlehem
Preb. Church in Hunterdon Co, NJ.
I understand there are actually three (s) cemeteries located at that church.
Two at the church and one across the road where a log church once stood.
Where can I get a reading of these three cemeteries? Do you readings of
these cemeteries?
I'd appreciate very much find copies of these readings!
