So what is the verdict on the new cemetery book? Is it just a reprint of McCord or have the cemeteries been resurveyed and updated? I have the McCord book and I'm trying to see if the new book is worth buying. Can anyone tell me if the Brown Cemetery is included and if so, is there any new information? John John K.

Brown >jkbrown2@knology.net John, I have not seen the McCord book, but I believe someone previously said that book has over 500 pages. This one only has 306 pages plus the index pages which are not numbered. What I really like about this book is the women are also listed by their maiden names if they are known. Yes, the Brown Cemetery is listed on page 33. If you want a list of the few names and dates e-mail me off list. Hazel
