A reverse-chronological list of "What's New" in the cemetery, and on this website.

1/8/16: For the past few months I have been scanning Jim Munro's papers about the families in the Cemetery. He has done SO MUCH RESEARCH! Today I have posted for people up to last name starting with 'D'. You will find Jim's info on each individual Person's page. An example is here . Look for FAMILY INFO: on the left, and click on the blue filename.
