I've a question regarding the Coosa Co Cemetery Books-- What about all the people buried in the unmarked graves? Are there any records, church or otherwise that can help us locate those exact burial sites? We know Grandpa is buried in an unmarked grave but aren't sure exactly which one? I've talked to others who say they have relatives also in unmarked graves. What to do? Thanks for any suggestions.
