    2. wendyethel
    3. Can any one tell me if there is a book or a map some where in Monroe Co that has all the cemeteries and who is buried in them? I am planning on coming down there in 2 weeks for a long weekend. and i want to go visit some of the cemeteries and go to the library, can any one tell me what the hours are at the library? also can you go into the court house and research or do you have to ask for every thing.? Thanks, Carla Harris

    1. Re: [KYMONROE] Monroe Co cemeteries.
    2. Gorin Genealogical Publishing has published a book (about 315 pages) on Cemetery records in Monroe County. It has most of the cemeteries listed and is indexed. It was published in 1997. The address is: 205 Clements Ave., Glasgow, KY 42141 . Gorin Publishing has a web site ggpublishing.tripod.com/ (I think) Google the company name, and it comes up near the top.
