Don't know anything about the dowsing method except that some swear by it;
others laugh at it. But I do suggest that for making a map, you might wish
to access the Texas Historical Commission's site at
http://www.thc.state.tx.us/ We really do have loads of free information on
it. Check in at cemeteries on the menu to the left. That will bring you
up to Preserving Cemeteries and then to several worthwhile references that
can be printed out.
Good luck! and I'm sure I speak for others .. let us hear how the project
progresses and finally turns out.

> My sisters and I are planning to make a plat map of a small, central Texas
cemetery in a couple of months. We learned grave dowsing recently and want
to dowse for the 'lost' graves. We expect to find 100-200. We want to
include these unknown graves on the plat map in order to avoid accidentally
digging in to a lost grave of one of our community pioneers.
