Hi, I have gotten lots of information from cemeteries. Ask for a listing of all people by the last name you want who are buried in that cemetery. I have gotten whole families over a 75 year period, some of whom died in other states but who were returned to the family plot for burial. Good luck. Mary BSmith7439@aol.com wrote: > Hello.
