    3. Hi All, Here is a site that may help you to find a cemetery. The results from your first query will only show the cemetery by Latitude & Longitude. However, if you Click on the name of your cemetery, it will lead you to the "US Tiger Maps" Below, you will find the URL. Also, I have tried to explain as best I can, how to use this site. The first page has a lot of button's, knob's & switches that you don't need for searching cemeteries. :-) Kathy http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html __________________________________________ This is an excerpt from the front page and what you need to use for a cemetery search: Geographic Names Information System United States and Territories 1.)
