This was on a page of genealogy sites and I am sending this on first as maps
was requested by some on the list. I have not gone into this so I have not
idea how it is used. It mentioned cemeteries so thought it would be good to
have on your page. I know that the site opens to a page with boxes to put in
info.
That is as far as I can say about this site. Check it out. Hope it can
be used as easy as the TopoZone I sent. Beej
PS... The page I am working on has links to all the sites and I am
transfering them to URLs so soon as I get that done I will send the page to
you.

At this site one can search for place names throughout the entire United
States, including populated places, creeks, streams, etc. Cemeteries are
included, but the list should not be considered comprehensive. By entering a
town name, you can also determine what county and/or state[s] it is in.
(The above message was with the URL on the paper just cup/pasted it over
here.)
