You should SEE what they are doing to restore St Michael's Cemetery in
Pensacola, FL!!!!!!

http://www.uwf.edu/gis/smc/index.cfm

Geographers from the University of West Florida have surveyed the cemetery
using a total station (a precision survey instrument) and survey grade GPS.
A GIS of the cemetery has been constructed consisting of all graves, tombs,
roads, botanical data and other features within the cemetery. This GIS is
available as an interactive map at the above link. Simply click on any
grave in the map for more information. You can also query the database
behind the map to search for information about people buried in the
cemetery. During 2007 GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) data will be added to
the interactive maps that will help reveal information about the location
of the "Hidden Peoples of St. Michael's Cemetery."
