Winn, Many of the older cemeteries in Polk County do not have rows in any type of known order. One that I just finished typing had rows that split and then became one row again. The person that had surveyed the cemetery did a map of the cemetery and had boxes for each grave and empty grave space. It helped a lot, but we had to put it in "typed" form for the book. The only thing we could come up with was Row 1, then Row 1A, then back to Row 1. Another cemetery has few marked graves out of about 150 burials. That cemetery we had to do in sections and list the burials in groups. Not the best solutions, but the only one that we could come up with that worked for us. The book will have a full name index with married females listed by their maiden name, where known, as well as their married name. This should make the book easy to use. Hope this helps.
