2026-05-22 The Value of Cemetery Records: As pointed out in this Ancestry article, cemetery records can provide clues about ancestors that would be difficult to find anywhere else, such as children who died young, names of women not specified in census records, etc. The article also describes a wide variety of records, including church burial registers, sexton's records, plat records, and more. For additional info, see Goal B6 in the United States page or the Church and Cemeteries Goal in a country page of interest.
