The two grave books are completely different. Volume one basically lists each cemetery in the county, its location, and the people buried in it with birth/death dates and some notes from the tombstones. Volume two has demographic information regarding the persons death, ie. Where born, where died, parents, cause of death, informant. It also lists some cemeteries omitted in the first volume and some corrections. My opinion is that you need both. Volume 1 has many known errors that were still not corrected in volume 2 so be careful with what you find. Gene Phares gphares@nilfisk-advance.com >>> <Kfairbnks@aol.com> 11/05/99 07:41AM >>> Hi all. I was wondering if someone could tell me, are the grave register books, vol. 1 &2 the same books with a little more info in vol. 2? I was thinking about buying them, but wasn't sure if volume 2 covered everything in volume 1 and then some??? Thanks! Kim Fairbanks kfairbnks@aol.com
