    3. The following is a wonderful tool that was shared with me by someone on another list I belong to. Street Atlas USA. It is a mapping program on CD published by Delorme, a well-known mapmaker. You can find the location of cemeteries and towns. Not only can you find names, but you can find most any physical feature. The search results give you the Latitude and Longitude of an object. I then use that Latitude and Longitude in Street Atlas to locate the cemetery. After I type the cemetery I am looking for and receive the found sites I then go to "Show Feature Location" to see the map. The Geographical Names Information System (GNIS). It was created by the US Geological Survey and is wonderful. The URL is http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html Kathleen Burnett List Mom
