Hi Yvette. Are you looking for a "master list", individual cemeteries, or cemeteries in a specific area? Through my archeology work I have found and know about several around the state. Also, in which state do you live? Let me know what you need and I'll see if I can help.

A master list would be great, however, if that's not possible I'm looking for cemeteries around Doddridge, AR I think it's Miller county and also around Caddo Parish, LA (Shreveport). I'm a novice genealogist and will attend a reunion in July and hope to take photos of gravestones.

You might want to check out the Arkansas Cemetery Board (Home Page). There's a downloadable master list of cemeteries on the site.

Best wishes.

These are outside my personal work area and knowledge, but I'll see what I can find out for you.

I'm finding lots of cemeteries in Miller County but no way to tell if they are Negro or white. While I'm trying to get sources for this search; do you have any specific names? In the meantime I could be looking for them. If you had rather not post the specific names here on this public forum you may send them to me in a Direct Message. As I'm sure you know, I will need all the data you can get; i.e. birth and death dates. I'll be happy to help any way I can 'cause I do genealogy work and know that at times we need all the help we can get.

I'm still trying. I've had two people tell me they would help but I never heard from them again. If you could give me some names you are looking for I can use that approach. Some times people names will lead to cemetery names which in turn can be located on the Web.

Thanks. Unfortunately my computer crashed and I had to replace my hard drive. Dang, back-up is golden. A few days before the crash I had uploaded the file to FamilySearch, so I'm hoping it shows up on there in a few weeks. Anyway, the names I'm looking for are Nelson, Hammond or Ealy.
