We have complete directions and other information about each cemetery (or at least as complete as we can make it). There are over 120 existing cemeteries, plus others which are now "lost" or have been relocated. We have a folder or book in our library for each of the online sites, many times with additional information.
We list the cemetery as it is named on the WPA project in the 1930's, but we also show many of the cemeteries by their known alternate names. Many sites are not listed by the WPA.
Note: We are not making extra effort to add headstone photos, as they take lots of digital space. Try Find-A-Grave or Billion Graves for graphics files.
Remember: You can use the Find (Ctl + F) to do alternative searches on any page, e.g. to find all cemeteries in "Perry" township or cemeteries on "Fall Creek" Rd.
Our cemetery records have thousands of additional burial records available. We are working with cemetery records that we've not had available online before, as well as additional records that have been in our library but never published, as well as new records obtained from cemetery management organizations and other sources. The burial records we present here come from many sources. Although they are believed to be the best information available, there are errors. There will also be errors in transcription.
Note on the Catholic Cemeteries:
We are delighted to announce that we have loaded 38,181 cemetery records
for the local Catholic cemeteries (Calvery, Holy Cross, St. Joseph, Our Lady
of Peace, and St. Malachy).
The information comes directly from the cemetery database, which is
managed by the Buchanan Group (Flanner & Buchanan) and is not based on
any ‘reading’ of gravestones, etc.
- See the respective cemetery for more details.
Please note that some records will only be available to our Members. If you are not a member, we invite you to join us. If you have information to add or you want to volunteer, please
send us a note.

Final Note: If you see an occasional entry that refers to "Find-A-Grave," remember that anyone can add material to that site with no documentation required. Use with caution.
