Joyce's Search Tip - December 2007 -
Do You Know that you can search just the Bradford County Cemetery Records on the site by using the Cemeteries -Bradford button in the Partitioned search engine at the bottom of the Current What's New Page? If you use that partition follow these steps to search just one cemetery
1. Choose Cemeteries - Bradford. 
2. Enter part of the cemetery name [ie Ballard or Berrytown] AND a surname. 
3. Choose the Find ALL Words option. Then it will find just the pages with that surname in the one cemetery you indicated.

Typed By:     Lyle Rockwell
Location:    Athens,  corner of Main & Edward St.
Other comments:   Major work was done by John Morley during the 1970 & 80s to fix tombstones, order & place military tombstones provided by the VA. Cemetery read from front to back in sequence.
   I did not find tombstones of numerous people listed on the Morley/Saxon list, but did photograph all present day remaining stones.  All photographs are on www.findagrave.com
