New Cousin - Robert Pelletier

This has been an interesting week.  After last weeks post I decided I hadn't done much work with the Pelletier family lately and therefore set about correcting that situation.  In the process I came across some private postings on Ancestry.com and contacted the submitter for permission to view them.  The result was meeting my cousin Robert Pelletier.  Robert's GGGrandmother is Glorian Roberts, sister of my GGGrandfather  William H. Roberts.  We have shared considerable material.  In the process Robert indicated he had lost touch with his Uncle Frank H. Pelletier.  The story is complicated but the result is we found Frank buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery right here in Rochester, NY.  Since the Rochester Genealogical Society digitized the plot maps for Mt. Hope the task of finding Frank's grave was quite easy.  (There are between 200,000 & 300,000 people buried in Mt. Hope cemetery.)  It turned out that Frank was a veteran of the Spanish American War.
