Hi folks,
One more "potential" source of cemetery plot records exists for those
cemeteries that were moved by the US Corps of Engineers. Many
cemeteries have been moved from their original locations during the
building of federal projects such as reservoirs and other flood control
projects. Most of these moved cemteries were combined into larger
cemeteries or added to existing cemeteries, some of the larger ones,
however, were moved individually. When looking for records for such
cemeteries where the Corps records were not handed over to the county
recorder (the Corps did NOT turn its records over unless asked by the
county), you may have to write a few letters and make friends at the
local Corps field office to find the information.
I realize that MOST of the cemeteries don't fall under the scrutiny of
our project, but, I have seen a few.

BTW: Those of you who have asked for help, ask again, I recently had to
replace my computer here at home and lost most of my e-mail records. I
replaced my old Pentium 100 with a brand new Pentium III - 500. WOW
what a difference.
