While compiling the cemetery listings to provide you with as much information as possible we found it necessary to add an INDEX TO SOURCE INFORMATION. We have made special effort to show from which source the information was obtained in order for you to document the information.

INDEX TO SOURCE INFORMATION:

Since this information has been transcribed several times and its accuracy may be flawed we encourage you to verify this information with all primary information available to you.
