I apologize for any cross posts. The following is a link to a compilation of 1864-1867 burial data on freedpeople interred in the predominantly African-American Section 27 of Arlington National Cemetery. http://www.freedmenscemetery.org/resources/documents/arlington-section27.pdf While it is usually assumed that the dead were from the nearby Freedman's Village, that was not the case. Most were residents of Washington, D.C. who had recently arrived from elsewhere, mostly Virginia and Maryland. The PDF document is more than 200 pages and has some graphics, so it opens slowly. ____________________________________________________________ Groupon&#8482 Official Site 1 ridiculously huge coupon a day.

Mary: Cemetery records are 'work-product' just like any other business and are not a matter of public record. Most do share some information, others do share as much as they have. But no one will give out contemporary informaiton, i.e., names/phone numbers/addresses of current plot owners. In today's world everyone is concerned about privacy and that's probably the number one reason why they won't just give you the owners' name and number. Some cemeteries go way overboard with privacy issues. And personally I've found that lots of church and especially Catholic church cemeteries have extremely poor records. I thought you were looking for the original owners' name (back to 1900 or so) and many cemeteries will give you that information but not current info. Kathi Jones-Hudson, National Coordinator Tombstone Transcription Project http://www.usgwtombstones.org/

Thank you for your quick responses. I have almost always provided information with my written requests (name & date of death) and have indicated that I was looking for ancestors. They were able to confirm that my great grandparents were there and provided the lots in which they were laid to rest. I explained that family tradition told me that 2 uncles of my great grandmother owned the lots originally and were buried there as well. I didn't know their names or death dates. I was told that they would only 'confirm' the presence of someone if I provided the name and death date. They would not provide other names of those in the same lot nor provide the owner's name. Last week, I paid a personal visit and the person at the desk was very nice and did provide us with a copy of the sheet that shows some of the names of those buried in the lot. Based on a comparison with actual headstones, I suspect that the sheet was prepared some years ago since not all those with headstones were listed. I indicated that I was thinking of placing a marker on the graves of my relatives and asked if they could show me exactly where in the lot they were buried. I was handed the price sheet for headstones and a brochure that described the procedure, the first step being to gain the approval of the current owner. They assured me that they had records as to the exact location of their burials but would not look that up until it was time to place the marker. I was told they would not provide the owner's name but if I wanted to call back the next day, perhaps someone else would contact the owner on my behalf. I was disappointed that my personal visit and my request did not lead to some additional information (especially since I live more than 2,000 miles away). I guess I will ask them to contact the owner and request that the owner contact me. Not sure if they will comply but since the ownership is not in the public record, I don't see any other path to follow Again, thank you for your information. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 12:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: DC-CEMETERIES Digest, Vol 4, Issue 2 Today's Topics: 1.

Ownership of cemetery plots would be in the private records of the cemetery not in public records.

FRYING PAN MEETING HOUSE CEMETERY 2615 Centreville Rd., Herndon, Va. The church building on this site was built in 1791 on land deeded to the congregation by ROBERT "COUNCILLOR" CARTER. Baptist meetings are thought to have been heldin this area as early as 1740. There were only 16 remaining formal headstones, but the church minutes from 1791-1879 list an additional 32 burials. Many graves are marked by field stones. In 1988 the ownership of the meeting house and cemetery passed from the last surviving trustee to the Fairfax County Park Authority which maintains the building as a community meeting place.

Is there someone available to go to RCC and take pictures of particular family stones and send them via email to me? Barb

Hi from Australia I, with another am researching the lives of Nth Americans who ventured to Australia during 1850+, Ephraim Dinsmore from Maine was one such chap. Ephraim was born in 1828 and after his travels he died in Dayton WT on September 27, 1882. I am hoping someone has access to cemetery records for Dayton & would be happy to look for Ephraim for me. Kind regards Chris

I know that the Rock Creek Cemetery office maintains voluminous burial records. A telephone call to them might provide a quick answer.

Thank you!! I am interested in knowing if any inscription work has been done at the Rock Creek Cemetery. I think that one is the most likely. I don't know exactly where his wife was buried, but will work on that aspect--good suggestion!!

It appears that my gr-gr grandfather was an "inmate" (bad choice of words!!) at the Old Soldier's Home in Washington DC on the 1900 census. WILLIAM TURNER was born about 1832 in England and probably came to the US in the mid-1850's and served in the Civil War. Lived in Greene County Illinois for most of his life with wife Sarah Jane (Garrett) Turner and had several children. I presume he died between 1900-1910 census--if I had to guess, probably between 1900 and 1905--most likely at the Old Soldier's Home in DC. Where were war veterans of that era buried if they lived at the OSH? Were they sent to their home states or buried locally? Where would burial records and lists of names for the Old Soldier's Home for around 1900 be found today? Many thanks for any help. Jeanne in Montana
