LOL David

<CyberLemon>

the joy of troweling through long cem lists

<DavidWoodetc>

Well, I have too many names to use ""find'

<vickyAL>

http://www.18thravens.net/memberspace/tazzie/favoritegenealogy.html

<CyberLemon>

makes me glad my roots are buried in the backwoods

<Granny>

Goes quicker if you use the ""find"" feature though.

<MizB>

The Jackson Co cem took quite a while and found kin in a lot of them

<CyberLemon>

very true

<CyberLemon>

me too David, easier for me to scroll

<JerryS>

after doing online research for years were all going to need quad focals instead of tri or bi focals in our glasses

<Granny>

MizB, the lady that did the Jackson County cemeteries really did a nice job.

<DavidWoodetc>

The site I set up for my Cherokee Co TX cemeteries has it's own search engine

<MizB>

me too David

<mickey43>

Anyone know exactly where Aspel Cemetery in Jackson Co (Scottsboro area) is located---my SMITH and LINDSEYs are buried there

<Granny>

Jerry, I am already up to trifocals!

<JerryS>

oops no offence Granny

<CyberLemon>

hang on mickey

<Granny>

Mickey, I haven't heard of that one, but go to the Jackson county site and check. The Jackson County cemeteries have good organization.

* Granny

MOTIONS/playful.gif Jerry, no offense taken!

<DavidWoodetc>

I fixed it so you can search 119 cemeteries by the surname

<JerryS>

Mickey have you been to the geographical site to do a search for the cemetery will print a map for you

<Granny>

Wow David, that's great!

<mickey43>

I found the names in the Cemetery--- did the website also have directions in finding it ?

<CyberLemon>

mickey the cem is off highway 72

<Granny>

mickey, most of the ones for Jackson County give good directions.

<CyberLemon>

at the turnoff to Aspel

<DavidWoodetc>

Setting up that many pages was the hard part. The Pico search engine was the easy part

<DavidWoodetc>

The wife insisted.

<lovingdoe>

Does anyone have Whisenant surname?/

<CyberLemon>

its at the Aspel Methodist Church, 200 graves

<CyberLemon>
