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. 

This page includes both the Protestant and the Catholic cemeteries as they are together in the same location. All of Barclay Township was resorbed by Franklin when the population declined.


This is from the inventory and survey by Todd M. Babcock, Professional Land Surveyor, November 24, 1993. Barclay Cemetery is located in Franklin Township. It is a very large cemetery, completely taken over by trees.
