Not everybody is buried in "public" cemeteries. There were a lot of "family" cemeteries. Buried out by the tree line (edge of the woods), buried out in a field or a clump of trees with just a wooden marker. Have to check with the Registery of Deeds to see if there is such a cemetery, Lots of times such cemeteries were not kept up and are all overgrown. Or the property might have been sold and the new owners did something with the graves Jim Morrison ----- Original Message ----- From: WEST <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, 28 Nov 2008 17:02:27 -0500 (EST) Subject: Re: [PALANCAS] Cemetery Records [FIND A GRAVE] What about records that have the name of the person that is buried without a stone or the stone is broken or lost. Are Cemeteries only using names with tombstones? I have looked for burial of my ancesters but there is no record as where they were buried.
