Humm ... works for me?? Try this: [1]http://www.usgwarchives.net/pa/lancaster/1picts/cemeteries/ and pick Mount Ober. Should work.

Keith" A great resource (really indispensible, I think) for Lancaster County researchers is "Churches and Cemeteries of Lancaster County" by A. Hunter Rineer, Jr. It was published in 1993 by the Lancaster County Historical Society. It contains 560 pages and is a complete guide to all churches and cemeteries (public and private) in Lancaster County. It provides a brief history for each church and cemetery. It also states what records are available (baptisms, confirmations, marriages, burials, etc.) and where they can be found. It provides a good overview of each religious denomination, as well as maps of each township showing the locations of the churches and cemeteries. LCHS sells them for $10 on their website. Many of the gravestone inscriptions at LCHS and LMHS were recorded in the 1930s (Worner) and the 1960s (Gerberich). Some have updates from the 1980s and later. The older records are particularly valuable, since many of the stones have deteriorated (or, sadly, have been vandalized) since the inscriptions were recorded. Of course, none of this precludes the need to capture digital images of still-existing gravestones and posting them online for all to view. Kudos to all of you are doing such great and valuable work! Per the book: Marietta Cemetery: The cemetery was chartered in 1855 by Lancaster County courts. Gravestone inscriptions of the "oldest stones only" available at both the Lancaster County Historical Society (LCHS) and Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society (LMHS). Mount Olive Cemetery: There is no listing for a cemetery by this name; perhaps it goes by another name. Bainbridge Cemetery - the following is for Bainbridge Public Cemetery (also called Riverview Cemetery): Founded in 1874; gravestone inscriptions at LCHS and LMHS (no date given). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith McKain" [3]<[email protected]> To: [4]<[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 28, 2008 7:35 PM Subject: Re: [PALANCAS] Cemetery Records [FIND A GRAVE] ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [5][email protected] web.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the b ody of the message ------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
