Janice Parton is making a list of *all* the cemeteries in Greene County, TN. Since Greene County once was part of North Carolina, I am sending this to NC lists, too. I'm sure the information Janice is kindly finding will help *many of us* in our search. Below, Janice gives a good list of some known cemeteries and burial sites. All of them need work - cleaning and documenting. If any of us knows of other Greene County TN burial places, or has info on them to share with Janice, she would love to hear from you! Like she says, you may be the only person with that information! Thanks to Janice! And thank you all, Marian, near Kosovo researching B.r.o.y.l.e.s., G.u.d.g.e.r., L.o.v.e., Y.o.u.n.g., R.i.c.e., etc., in western NC and east TN - dasha@unet.com.mk ; and sometimes buwis@rdn.it ................... >Greene Co., TN Cemeteries - Janice Parton jparton@planetc.com >I am trying to locate all Greene Co., TN cemeteries with the hopes of >getting nearby 911 addresses or directions to them.
