    1. [MDCARROLL] Re: Where is Westminster cemetery?
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CFB.2ACI/318.1 Message Board Post: The Westminster Cemetery entrance is on Church Street, off of East Main Street, on the 200 block. It is not near the library, which is at 50 East Main Street. It is a private cemetery and the president and trustees of the cemetery will not at this time, give permission for the Carroll County Genealogical Society to go in any copy the tombstones. But, George Billingslea, the president/trustee, of the cemetery, is working on publishing books on the history of the cemtery and publishing the burial lot books ledgers. He is hoping to have the first book done, that goes up to the 1930 records, done by this summer June/July 2002. George will not answer questions by phone, but he will by mail. It might be about a 3 to 4 week wait but he will answer you query with the location and a small map of the location area. Be sure to give George as much info on the person/persons you are looking for date of birth and year he/she had died etc. You should enclosed a self stamped/address envelope, I would send two stamps. Write to: Mr. George Billingslea 8810 Walters Blvd. Unit 3523 Baltimore, Maryland 21234 There is a newpaper abstract from the December 1889 Democratic Advocate of persons buried there up to that year. It is on Dorlinda Shepley's site at http://hometown.aol.com/DorindaMD/index.html
