The following information on maps showing cemeteries is from Ancestry Daily News, 16 May 2001, which brings you "Your Daily Dose of Genealogy." This is a free newsletter from Ancestry.com, and anyone can sign up and receive it at no charge. I find much that is useful in their newsletter. J. Kuck MAPS SHOWING CEMETERIES When I go into a courthouse I go into the Tax Assessor's office and purchase a DOT map of the county. I then take a red ink pen and circle the cemetery signs on the entire map, so when I am able to visit an area where I know my ancestors lived, I can follow the rural roads directly to the cemeteries that I want to search. I know from experience that in GA those maps I purchased in 1970s had the cemeteries identified, but a more recent one for Bibb Co., GA does not show the cemetery symbol. I wish that they would continue these markings on the maps for those of us trying to locate our loved ones so long ago passed on before us. Naomi Buckner Editor's Note: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System can be searched for cemeteries by county. Just pick a state, enter the county, and under "Feature Type" choose "cemetery" at: http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form The list of cemeteries in the database shows the town or city that each cemetery is located in, and by clicking on a particular cemetery, you can get the exact location. Maps, and sometimes aerial photographs, can also be brought up and zoomed in on.
