    1. [INDIANA] Finding Unmarked Graves

    3. Does anyone have any experience finding the location of graves in cemeteries where no grave markers exist? I contacted the church that oversees the cemetery and they tell me there is a section of "unmarked graves" but can't pinpoint where the graves might be. I would like to erect two gravemarkers, but they say I can't do that unless I can authenticate the exact grave location. This is a fairly small cemetery. So I can't erect a marker unless I know where the grave is, but I can't find out where the grave is because the church can't find the records. These were babies who died shortly after birth. I'm not evey sure the exact years ... probably 1915 or 1916 and 1920 or 1921. I'm wondering if the funeral director might have some record. Any suggestions? Thank you.

    3. Maybe you can find someone that will douse the cemetery. I would do it for you, but I live in Ohio. Also, see if there is a deed for the plot listed in the county (if the county issues plot deed records).
