Hi Tony,

My family was from Santa Barbara.  I can ask an octagenarian I know from 
the village (now living in California) if he recalls your great uncle and 
aunt. What sort of info are you interested in?

Graves in the cemeteries of the islands are reused periodically, so your 
relative's remains are likely to have been moved.  My grandmother, a native 
of Santa Barbara, died there in 1968/9.  By the time I visited in about 
1986, she had already given up her place for someone more recently 
deceased.  But, it's possible the graves are still marked.

let me know if I can help,

Linda
