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.

Dear Joyce,

Richard Johnson and Cynthia Johnson are my great grandparents and are buried in Ballibay Cemetery.  They are listed on your site but they could not read my grandmother's name on the stone.  I recently sent you a copy of her will typed in Word.  My grandfather, George W. Johnson, is also buried in Ballibay but as I understand it, there is no stone.

Carol Brotzman, who has been working with my sister and I on our family history, was nice enough to contact the woman affiliated with Ballibay Cemetery and she sent me a picture of the headstone.  She has been so wonderful to us.  Without you and without her we would not have been able to locate my father's family.

Thank you so much.
Lena Wohlschlag
