I am working on creating a list sorted by location [*], and I was planning on offering it for inclusion on the web site when done. [*] I am planning just a lexical sort on the location column of the tables. I can think of no way to reduce the two-dimensional map to an essentially one-dimensional list without tremendous duplication (or by implementing a database that could be queried by the web page). -- Thomas M.

Hi, All, Just want to add to what Jodee said. It looks like if your family had a stone and it was still standing, you might be in luck. However, if your stones had fallen, it looks like the cemetery crew is standing them upright "wherever". "Wherever" might be close to where the stone should be or not--hard to tell. But, at least the stones will be reachable. It looks as though they have maybe 1/4? of the cemetery cleaned up. It's hard to tell how much is still in the wilds. But, it was nearly 2 years since I last visited and, as Jodee said, this is a big improvement and it looks as if work is continuing daily. I am frankly amazed that the owners are even attempting this cleanup--it was so very bad! More power to them. Mona

Hi, Mona, I have had to use compiled cemetery book from the past (the oldest) I could find. They may could read the word or words at that time. Then will all the other help you maybe can come up with guess. Mildred Hi All, I was in Baltimore this past week and finally located the grave of our oldest immigrant ancestor. He is in Baltimore Cemetery (even though they had earlier told me he wasn't there). My cousin and I went to look at the stone and could read all but one word on it. We would love to know what that one word says. If anyone is going to Baltimore Cemetery anytime and wants to take a stab at reading the stone, please email me and I will tell you where it is--it is very easy to find. I will be home by Sat. and will reply then. We tried casting shadows and that worked for all but this word. We tried tracing with our fingers--no luck. We tried a rubbing, but it wasn't clear. Maybe someone else is bettter at reading the old, worn stones. We would be very grateful. Thanks! Mona

Kathy, Could I see the Obit for Thomas Johnson. Thanks. Betty Hartman Subject: [BALTGEN-L] Obits - Sun, October 12, 1918 Johnson, Thomas

Speaking of cemetery conditions, Mona and I were at Mt. Carmel last week and were pleasantly surprised at the work that has been done. If you have never been there before, it would probably think it was pretty - but if you have seen it in the past few years, you would certainly appreaciate the difference. There are still many areas with deep-jungle conditions, but you can see that they are making progress. Jodee Davis Inscho

In regards to Mt. Olivet cemetery, of which I am pretty much involved with, with 3 copy's of the Caretaker records, and numerous visits for digital pictures for folks, I do not think that this place is in bad shape at all, compared to a visit to Mt. Carmel cemetery, which is overrun with all sorts of vegetation and growth covering a good part of the stones. So to be appreciative of how Mt. Olivet appears, one needs to visit Mt. Carmel to get a shock, and then realize how nice Mt. Olivet looks. Tim R.

Jane, I'm fairly new to researching and visiting cemeteries but I was surprised at your comment on Mt. Olivet being "sad looking". I was there two years ago and thought it was in decent shape. Actually, I was quite pleased because right away I found all my family members that were buried in 3 different spots of the cemetery. I thought the cemetery was much more well maintained than I was expecting. I also felt quite safe there.

Mona It would be helpful if you give us what is says with a blank where the missing word is. Context can some time make sense of a mystery word. As to Baltimore Cemetery: I have repeatedly said that any "records" that they have prior to 1904 are very questionable. I have been told that a plot has no stones only to find out that not only were there stones but the stone contain tons of information. I have been given plot diagrams only to find stones with additional people indicated. This is why it is very important to look for your other relatives not just your directs. Especially true when you are looking for relatives prior to Baltimore City death certificates (1875) and the cemetery note on them. I have found directs who were buried there not long after it opened-long before 1875. I would not have found them without tracing their other children and even their grandchildren to a death certificate indicating Baltimore Cemetery and then visiting the plot. Also when you find out information about a plot or a particular person within the plot, let the office know. They want to have their records correct so they can help another person later. I once looked at a card and found a note from another distant relative noting their relationship to our common ancestor. I visited them that very day and they had pictures of this common ancestor. I know that Baltimore Cemetery tends to ask you for the back upkeep fees-it was not a perpetual care cemetery until sometime during the 20th century. This may feel intrusive but just politely say no thanks and be done with it. They will not ask again. At least from my experience that is and I have been there hundreds of times since first discovering my relatives were buried there. I feel like I own the cemetery.
