You have to read and understand the following paragraph before using the listings for the first time. It will save you, and me, a lot of grief. Updated 16 Mar 2007. If you read it before then you have to read it again.
Not all the listing pages are loaded If you try to open a listing page that is not loaded you will get an error. The reason they are not all loaded is that I don't believe they will get that much usage to justify the space required. There is a map of Rose Hill Cemetery and a complete list of Friendship Baptist Cemetery, pages 480-493. Some other pages are loaded too, but not all. Try it, it might be there. The index is complete, so if you see a surname you want listed
send me E-mail.
But first, if you are using AOL or some other ISP with an allowed senders list, make sure I am allowed or you won't get an answer. All the pages for list of cemeteries, I think maps, symbols and abbreviations, are loaded. Burials after 1985 in some parts of the county and 1987 in other parts will not be listed, since it took 3 years to do the listings. Wayne Austin has more up to date listings and pictures for some cemeteries at
Maury County, Tennessee Cemeteries. If you have a LOT (thousands) of names to look up, the books are available from the Maury Historical Society. The listing pages were impossible to convert to text by OCR and are large images here, makng it painfully slow over a regular modem, even more painfully slow for me to upload. If you have a few, try the lookup volunteers at
Maury County. Tennessee Genealogy. or e-mail me and I will load the pages you want. In the early days, more folks were buried unmarked than marked, so there will be no listing here. Some cemeteries have been destroyed to build houses and can't be listed. Hundreds of corrections were made to the original index where the information is actually on the page after the one the index points to. I corrected the ones I saw as I was doing lookups. There are bound to be more. Please report them to me so that I can make corrections. Meanwhile, you can scroll down past the surname index to go to individual pages. In other cases the name can't be found anywhere in the listing. In other cases some listing pages were not in the index. I have corrected the ones I noticed in this index and loaded the pages that were not in the index in the books. One more thing, these are not cemetery records, this is a list of actual transcriptions from tombstones and markers, obituaries, and personal knowledge of some residents. If you read the preface, pages 1 and 2, it is explained there. I expect this version of the digital listings will be used by folks who are not natives and just have a few surnames to look for. I wish you happy hunting.
