Hi, Marlene.
I've found several web sites that might help you out.

The first one I used is Yahoo.Com's Yellow Pages (http://yp.yahoo.com/) and
entered Lisbon, OH (which is a central point in the county). Then I asked
for all cemeteries around Lisbon. It brought back one cemetery in Lisbon
itself, but there is a button on the page that says "Beyond Lisbon". When
I clicked on that, it brought me back 61 cemeteries up to about 50 miles
in any direction from Lisbon. For each one, they show an address.

Click on the cemeteries (i.e., line entries) you want and it will bring up
a map for you. Below the map there is another option called "Driving
Directions" which will tell you how to get there.

These are included in the list:
Leetonia Oakdale Cemetery - 300 Main Street, Leetonia, OH
Lisbon Cemetery - 1 Elm Street, Lisbon, OH
Grandview Cemetery - 1399 Franklin Ave, Salem, OH

If I can't find something this way, I have a couple of other sites I try.
The first is from the USGS GNIS (Geographic Names Information System).
(This site is also helpful because you can enter the city name and the
state and it will bring you the county.)
http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html
You can enter feature name, feature type [including cemetery], county and a
number of other things.

Another similar site is the Peabody Museum at Yale University. They also
have a GNIS site and a link to the USGS site above.
http://www.peabody.yale.edu/other/gnis/

This one shows Hart Cemetery in Lisbon, but it doesn't appear on the Yahoo
list.

The GNIS doesn't show a St. Jacob's Cemetery anywhere in Ohio, but it does
show a church in Hartsville, Stark County.
SAINT JACOBS UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST : church : Stark : 405416N 0812139W :
Hartville

Neither one of these sites shows a Mt. Olivet cemetery in Ohio. However,
the first search (Yahoo) showed a Mt. Olivet Cemetery in the search beyond
Lisbon. Mt. Olivet Catholic Cemetery is 28.7 miles from Lisbon and is in
Aliquippa, PA. Might be worth a try.

I couldn't get any matches on the Zion Hill Cemetery in Mahoning County. I
even tried using just "Zion" as a search criteria.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
