Some of those buried in National Cemeteries are not yet included. So if you don't find someone via the site, do not panic. For example: Arlington is not included because is run by the Department of the Army. My gg uncle, Sydney Hare, from Clinton County (Peru) is buried at Arlington. Learned that from his pension record. We were in Washington, DC several years ago and actually visited the grave. Today his name didn't appear when I did a search, so after checking every possible spelling variation, did a bit more digging on the website. Then called Arlington which confirmed that they are not part of that system. Also, there are some national cemeteries that are not yet on this site, though their interred are listed on the cemetery's computer, and they'll do phone lookups. Daniel B. Hare, of Plattsburgh (son of Daniel and Susan Winch Hare) is buried at Antietam National Cemetery, but they are not yet part of the national online system. Years ago, I paid someone to peruse the "Roll of Honor" to check several graves. He gave me Daniel's information. When he was not listed on the national website, phoned Antietam--they looked on their system and found him. (Though there are been some readdressing of graves, so his grave number is not the same as what I was given from the "Roll of Honor" though the section numbers matched. What I'd really like is for someone to put the "Roll of Honor" online. Linda Guynup Dewey
