SOCIETY TAKING ORDERS FOR LAST PUBLICATION The Sangamon County Genealogical Society is completing its final publication, for which it is currently taking orders. "Cemetery Names and Locations: Sangamon County, Illinois" will include maps of each township in the county and the locations of cemeteries by township. Each cemetery will have its own brief description and directions. Photos will be included for cemeteries that can still be located. "This book is an atlas and a location guide for people to go to the actual cemetery where their ancestors have been buried," said society president Dan Dixon. "Some of the cemeteries no longer have tombstones which can be read. Thus, a search of our previous transcribed cemetery books will be a better source to check when a specific date is being sought for the birth or death of a particular ancestor." All of the society's publications are available at the Sangamon Valley Collection at Lincoln Library. Orders for copies of "Cemetery Names and Locations" will be taken through December. Checks can be mailed to: Sangamon County Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 1829, Springfield, IL 62705-1829.
