Thanks, David, We all know you are the "cemetery expert"! ;o) So far, I've had good success with it. However, I did notice last year when searching for Union Hill Cemetery that it was not listed, so I did a search for the Union Hill Baptist Church and found it that way. So in some instances, if the cemetery is not listed, you can do a search for the church if it is church cemetery you are looking for.
