A visit to the Harrell Family Cemetery ...



Introduction ...

Note: This cemetery is a family graveyard and located on private property. Respect the landowner's rights and seek permission before visiting.

We're sorry, but we have no contact information for this cemetery and we are unable to assist in helping to find such a contact.


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

We discovered that his burial had been refused 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.
