What makes me believe it can be done is the excellent job done by Tim and Helen Marsh in Bedford County. I have been told of two or three "newly discovered" cemeteries, but when I go copy the stones and come home and look in the book, they are already there! Not that I have copied many stones. I like libraries and courthouses ever so much better than graveyards.

This was a terrific effort. Even so, some burials were left out. I found a few burials not listed in these publications (probably because of the briars). These were on a private cemetery on a Daniel farm at Readyville and sent these to the Hist Society (in case they ever reprint). To put all the burials in one book and THEN put it on line...sounds like a dream come true! Sure hope it comes to fruition. I live in Texas and we have numerous counties that have not attempted EVEN ONCE to survey ALL the burials in an entire county. Most times, you have to use many books for one county, each book indexing just one cemetery (knowing all the while, that every cemetery has not yet been indexed). Joyce, Burleson, Tx
