A visit to the Old Landing Cemetery ...

Introduction ...

Since our focus is on geography, we don't have burial or interment information. Nor do we have any contact information for the Old Landing Cemetery. For information of that nature, we suggest the Find-A-Grave <1> website: The Old Landing Cemetery (FG ID #91386).

In addition, the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) has a MACRIS <2> database entry for the Old Landing Cemetery (MACRIS ID: MRN.803). Once on the MACRIS page, look for the dark blue INV icon on the line 'Inventory Number: MRN.803'. Click on this link to open a PDF document with more detailed information contained on scanned documents.

Note: We have organized the cemeteries in our Gazetteer based on a problem that we had while working on our own genealogy. As an example and without specifying the cemeteries involved, we found an ancestor that we believed to have been buried in one cemetery had actually been buried elsewhere.

We discovered that his burial plans had changed at the last moment and the family had scrambled to make new arrangements. By looking at nearby cemeteries, the surrounding communities and in newspapers of the period, we were finally able to locate his burial site.

Should you find yourself in the same situation, we hope that our Gazetteer helps you discover your lost ancestor.

More information about the MHC and MACRIS can be found on their website: mhc-macris.net. When visiting the MACRIS website, you might encounter their page requiring the 'Acceptance of Terms'.

<4>	Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Old Landing Cemetery) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'.
<5>	While we have an extensive database of cemeteries (with over 200,000 entries), be assured that it's not complete and we're still searching for cemeteries to add.
