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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON ULSTER CEMETERY

Edna Foster Watson and Ellen R. Glueck read this cemetery several years ago, and they added a list of obituaries that I am adding for further information. These obituaries refer to people who supposedly are buried in Ulster Cemetery. I am also adding information, furnished by Cole Goodwin, on his ancestors who are buried here. His information is on the Goetchius and Grist families.
