Virginia, you are a sweetie pie for posting this web site and I am passing it along to some of the other lists that I subscribe to. Ann Propst, Brevard, NC -----Original Message----- From: vlapham [mailto:vlapham@cox.net] Sent: Friday, June 18, 2004 10:17 AM To: DescendantsJohnLKent@yahoogroups.com; SouthernKents@topica.com Subject: [DescendantsJohnLKent] Grave sites of 562 Kents - Civil War The information below was sent to me by a genealogy colleague and I found 562 Kent names including wives of veterans at the following location. http://gravelocator.cem.va.gov/j2ee/servlet/NGL_v1 "More than three million records showing where veterans are buried in VA national cemeteries are now available online at <http://www.cem.va.gov> http://www.cem.va.gov. This innovation will make it easy for anyone with Internet access to search for the gravesite location of deceased family members and friends. The Web site will be update nightly with information from burials the previous day. "The nationwide grave locator contains more than three million records of veterans and dependents buried in VA's 120 cemeteries since the Civil War. The locator also has records of some burials in state veterans' cemeteries and burials in Arlington National Cemetery beginning with 1999. State cemetery burial records are from those cemeteries that use VA's database to order government headstones. Arlington National Cemetery, operated by the Department of Army, has used that database since 1999. "The Web site displays the same information that visitors to national cemeteries find on kiosks or in written ledgers when locating gravesites: name, dates of birth and death, period of military service, branch of service and rank if known, the cemetery's location and phone number, plus the grave's precise location in the cemetery. "Some information, such as identification of the next of kin, will not be shown to the public for privacy reasons. Immediate family members with a government identification card may ask to see the full record of a burial when the visit a national cemetery." Virginia Yahoo!
