While I admire what you are trying to do, I don't know why you would want to put the partially inaccurate cemetery information from the Knox County Genealogical Society books on your website when some of the cemeteries ARE online with much more accurate info, some of which I spent hours upon hours cleaning up, reading, rereading, and rereading and typing up. Some of the previously published readings are totally inaccurate (Walter Cemetery to name just one) and there are mistakes in every one I've seen. While I can understand how this could happen, I still don't know why you would want to put out there for the world to see the wrong info when when much more reliable info is available on the cemeteries that I and others have read.

Hi guys,
Will be working this week to get cemetery listings from Knoxvillle cemetery and the Abingdon Cemetey online. They are two big cemeteries in Knox County, IL. Kathy Mills who travels around the USA in her moter home with her doggies and hubby has graciously typed these up for me. She has done them in sections and they are a little hard to work with on account ot the pages being so long. So, they might take a little to download over a slow internet connection but will also be searchable in the Pico search engine from the index page. Need to put one on the cemetery page but haven't gotten it done as of yet.

Also, if anyone knows of a boy scout troop or boy scouts wanting to earn a badge ot help clean up some abandoned cemeteries please contact me at
have a great day...
