The Forum also performed extensive research in Carbon County, and those
cemetery record details are included. The Forum also supports fieldwork
performed at other cemetery locations in the United States, and from
time-to-time those records are added to the site. Currently we have some burial
listing extractions from Harper’s Ferry, Liberty County, and neighboring towns,
most of which were originally in Yellowstone County.
General Information
Yellowstone County has 28 registered cemeteries, and numerous unlisted private
ones [1995]. Burial information from many of these ‘unlisted’ cemeteries has
been extracted, but their locations have not been identified so as to protect
the current landowners’ wishes. The listing below identifies the types or
records available, their location, and if the details are available on line. If
“lookups” are needed, when the source material is only in hard-copy, a link
will be provided to identify where to email for information; and if research
costs are applicable. The Forum maintains an extensive listing of various
obituaries, as well as an index for many others in the region. The linkages to
this information are provided herein.
Cemeteries shown in RED are basically inactive or abandoned.
There are several ways to check ancestral burials in Yellowstone County.
Additionally, there are several active and inactive cemeteries within
Yellowstone County. A description of these grave locations is available in the YGF Cemetery Site.
Listings of Obituary
postings from the Carbon County area, generated when the Yellowstone Genealogy Forum created a master file
for the cemetery records in the 1980’s, is tabulated in a separate listing for
reference to the newspaper or other sources. There are about 200 pages of
listings for these source records. Most of the files can be obtained from the
Carbon County Genealogy Society sources.
Mountview Cemetery, the main Billings city cemetery, has provided their
list of burials through the mid-1990s and we have placed them in the MTGenWeb
Project Archives for your free use. The files are segregated
alphabetically, and displayed in TEXT format. Information is updated annually,
and is readily available at the Parmly Library, YGF GenRoom, or the Cemetery in
‘hard copy’. For pictures of the cemetery, and tombstone date transcriptions,
refer to the Yellowstone
Genealogy Forum site. Many of the other cemeteries within the area,
extending about 100 miles around Yellowstone County have had their records
transcribed, and most all of the tombstone inscriptions have been recorded.
These are not in numerical order; but if interested, the Webmaster will do
limited lookups in the master files.
For active and past burials in either Smith Terrace Gardens Memorial
Estates or Sunset Memorial Gardens, (not listed in the books), the addresses
are provided below. A courteous letter sent with a self-addressed stamped
envelope should get good results from these cemetery offices.
