GENEOLOGY

Cemetery records for our cemeteries are designed to give immediate and specific cemetery associated information to authorized parties. For example, the location of a person’s burial place and date of burial. Sometimes there is more information in our records or on the grave themselves.

While there has always been some passing interest in genealogy research, it has grown considerably in recent years. Our older cemeteries particularly have seen an increase in requests for genealogical information. Keep in mind cemetery records were never set up with the expectation that they would also provide extensive data for genealogical research. We do not have birth certificates, death certificates or obituaries. It’s also important to know that our older records may be limited and not completely accurate.

We are happy to provide what information we have to you, but time should be allowed for requests as the burials in our cemetery are our number one priority.
