    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FEC.2ACE/957.2 Message Board Post: I myself did an update on the tombstones of Greenway Cemetery about 5 years ago. I'm not sure if I can help you with location and dates. But I would be more than willing to try. When I went to the cemetery myself I found too many mistakes with dates, name spelling, and info in general, when using the book on Morgan County cemeteries. This led me to do my own listing of info from the tombstones themselves of Greenway. The book that was done of the cemeteries in Morgan County is about 25 years old and out-of-date. It is a good source book for when you are in-a-pinch when you need to locate where a person may have been buried before 1980. That is, if that person has erected a stone or a funeral marker on their grave site. But, just remember, it is best to locate a person with first hand knowledge or records for prove. Books and people do make mistakes when transcripting and printing material. We are only human. And, remember that many of the cemeteries listed have no office at! all to get info from but by eyes only. Many were buried by private undertakers before the 1880's and then some later dates in those days. No records I have found have ever been kepted of them, or passed on. Do hope the lady at the office can help you or just put you on the right path. Good Luck. If i can help you or anyone else, please email me at peachesandcream@myexcel.com ~Gloria
