Have you ever heard of maps? Atlases? You can get that information in a couple of minutes if you have one. Try a Rand McNally road atlas; see if it works for you. For whatever it might be worth, county plus state is a pretty good start for locating places. The people *I'm* mad at are the ones that give a town or cemetery name with no county *or* no state.

    3. I can find Butler County, OH by doing a simple Google search or going to anyone of a dozen or so online mapping programs. It's when they put just a city or state and no county or just a cemetery name and state that drives me crazy. Occasionally (actually often) there is more than one cemetery in a state (or even a county) with the same name. Sometimes there are even cities/towns with the same name in the same state. A little patience would go a long way in helping others.
