IMPORTANT: The list of known burials includes GPS coordinates for each grave.

This will save you a lot of tramping around and possibly missing the grave site(s) you are looking for.

Page Tips:

1. To enlarge the spreadsheet with GPS information use the "+" button on the window masthead.

2. The headstone photos are not in alphabetical order due to the various surnames that can be on a single headstone so you will need to toggle through the pages to find the particular headstone(s) you are looking for.
