    1. Re: [VTWINDHA] I need help please!!! Cemetery ??
    2. Yvonne, The location of any named geographic feature can almost always be found at the U.S. Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System webpage by running a query. The URL for the query webpage is: _http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnisprod_ (http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnisprod) Here are the results: Feature Name: Round Hill Cemetery Feature Type: cemetery History Notes: Established in 1815. State: Vermont County: Windham USGS 7.5' x 7.5' Map: Townshend 430500N 0724225W Since most of us don't work well with finding locations just by latitude and longitude, on the answer page is a link to Topozone.com which provides you with a topographic map with a red "+" showing the location of the feature. Sometimes the topographic map can be an older one and not have some new roads and so on showing. However, I think that the cemetery should be easy to find with the map it brought up. It is located on a small road just southeast of the center of West Townshend. I also looked at the digital orthophoto quad (link on the same page) and zoomed in on the cemetery location well enough to see what appear to grave markers. Good luck with your search.
