More digression-
The graveyard and chapel I am trying to document is, for New Mexico, pre-find-a-grave (c. 1850 and earlier) material. All original markers rotted. The bones were collected about 1940 from the unmarked graves and put in big bins until removal. Area now covered with upscale houses.
Dunno where the Archdiocese of Santa Fe reburied them.
Graveyards from the Spanish and Mexican days are covered, if at all, in RC registries.

A Taos cemetary is a source of discord because when the U.S. took over, some of the old Spanish burials were "reworked" and the sites used for the Americanos such as Kit Carson and his descendents.


I documented a couple of pioneer graveyards, abandoned, in central Alberta. Surrounded by farm fields, access fenced off, and in one, many of the stones were removed shortly after I photographed them. The other still has a descendant in the area who looks after it, so has not been disturbed.
