    1. [TNHENDER] GNIS is of limited help

    3. For most counties, GNIS will only have 1/3 to 1/5 of all cemeteries. Small cemeteries like the Dodd cemeteries usually do not appear, though you will never know without looking. Neither Granny Austin nor Prospect appear. GNIS does not show any of the major cemeteries in Middleburg (Smith Chapel, Crowell, Oak Grove, Judson, each with more than 100 burials), but does show the Powers Cemetery which has maybe four markers, and Presley Cemetery which no longer exists. Some moderately large Henderson Co. cemeteries not shown are Grandsire Holmes, Maple Springs, Parker's Crossroads, Pleasant Hill (black), Scotts Hill Methodist, and Sand Ridge. Pleasant Grove cemetery appears but you have to know the cemetery's other name. {I only know one person who knows the other name.) The locations also can be wrong. Chumney Cemetery is shown at the location of Flat Creek Cemetery. David David
