Surnames: Gilmore Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4R.2ADE/909.2 Message Board Post: Charles, You may want to take an alternate route to Concord. When I was last there a few months ago the County and/or State was in the process of rebuilding a bridge on Highway 29 between the cemetery and I-65 and the road was closed. Alternate route: Exit I-65 at Exit #114 and go west on Alabama Highway 106. Shortly after crossing into Conecuh County look for County Road #33 to your left (it will be just before the Bethel West Methodist Church and across from the Bethel West Cemetery). Turn left on CR#33 and go approximately 2 to 3 miles. CR#33 will "T" into Highway 29. Turn left (south) onto Higway 29 and proceed approximately 1 to 2 miles. The cemetery will be on your left at the intersection of Highway 29 and a dirt road. I was told after my last visit that the old Concord Church was down that dirt road and behind the cemetery but I have not personally seen the building myself. The oldest graves are in the center and in the south end of the cemetery. Graves in the north end are much more recent. As I recall, there were several Gilmores in that southern end. Good luck in your search! Bryan
If you go to: http://jchitty1.home.texas.net/cemetery I have placed some files that may be of help: Concord.pdf Adobe Acrobat file with a map of the area. Use caution on the tiny roads show on the map as those are dirt roads and can be pretty bad. Church.gif Picture of the concord church mentioned below Place0.gif shows the cemetery from the perspective of the S.E. corner. Where my relatives are buried (Chitty's). Hope this helps.
