A lady wrote "What county is the Wallkill Valley Cemetery in, Ulster or Orange?" The Find A Grave system gives us "Walden Orange County New York USA". If you go to the Find A Grave home page at http://www.findagrave.com and click on "Search for a Cemetery" and plug in the name of any cemetery and select a state and you'll see all cemeteries in the findagrave.com system with that name in that state. Don't select a country or state and you will see all with that name (in the Find A Grave system) in the world . Once you display the cemetery, its location normally includes the state and county and frequently more exact location, depending on what the volunteer put it. Some have explicit directions how to find them by road, some have GPS coordinates, and some have maps. If you're pretty sure a cemetery exists by a given name in a given state but it isn't displayed, that could merely mean that nobody has put it online yet. The findagrave.com system has over 30 million gravestone listings and many, many thousands of photographs of tombstones. The above shows how to search for a cemetery. To search for a person, go to the home page and click on "Search 30 million grave records" and plug in the person's name and select a state. If found, you might get lucky and see a photgraph of the tombstone (if the volunteer included one). All entries in the findagrave.com are made by volunteers, so many listings are incomplete. It is growing >very< rapidly...over 800,000 new memorials in the past month alone. Tens of thousands of people use the system every day. It's a wonderful, very dynamic system with great potential. We just need more volunteers to add known info which is not already online. To become a volunteer, go to their home page at http://www.findagrave.com/ and click on "Join the Find A Grave Community". I hope this helps others locate cemeteries and graves in the United States.
