Can anyone advise me of Georgia laws concerning abondoned cemeteries? Can I have my ancestors cemetery recognized and documented? How would I do this? All the gravemarkers are fieldstones. We are willing to do the research to try to prove it is our ancestors burial place. The last burial may have been fifty to a hundred years ago. It is on a farm now owned by someone not related to us. Would it be county or state laws that would apply? Thanks Jo [email protected]
