This is a much larger effort than just burials. When you go to the Heritage Trust you can check out a box for the name you are researching. In it you may find church records (baptisms, marriages and burials) from the church records ( which are also in the library there) newspaper clippings (one may show a person with the target name who was a bridesmaid st the wedding of someone with a different name), obituaries, references to wills, work sheets from other researchers of that name (be careful), references to revolutionary and civil war records, and all sorts of goodies. For me, at least, just the boxes were worth the trip up from Virginia. Some boxes are almost empty and some names have more than one box.
