Cemeteries

Findagrave has 60 Lee County cemeteries online with memorials and photos.

There are 60 cemeteries here in Lee County. I believe there are only a few that have been lost to time. In the late 1980's most of the cemeteries were walked. Copies of the lists can be found in all of the libraries here in Lee County, and at the Lee County Genealogical and Historical societies.

However the Lee County Genealogical Society are re-walking and updating the cemetery lists. The genealogy society has the most up to date cemetery records. They have an ongoing Cemetery Photographing Project that is recording all of the makers in each cemetery. It is hoped that photographing the markers will reduce errors in the cemetery databases along with other advantages.

Please be aware that walked cemetery records have mistakes. Finding a record of your ancestors burial is the first step, confirming the record is correct, is next.
