As of this writing (July 2006), more than 175 cemeteries and burial places have been identified in Fayette County, Alabama.  At least 43 of these are known by two and sometimes three different names, which brings the total number of recognized cemetery names to well over 200.  The late Herbert M. Newell Jr. and his wife, Jeanie Patterson Newell, transcribed many of these cemeteries in the late 1950s.  Their transcriptions, as well as numerous others from various contributors, are posted on this ALGenWeb site (see Fayette County Cemetery Records), the USGenWeb Archives Project for Fayette County ("+"), and/or other offsite web pages.

Within the online transcriptions, more than 13,400 individual burials are recorded.  But accessing all of these records requires a slow process of opening multiple files and looking for names among lists that are not standardized in format much less arranged in alphabetical order.  This index streamlines that process and makes the countless hours of work by the Newells and other contributors more readily accessible to Fayette County researchers and family historians.

The burials in this index are listed alphabetically by SURNAME, then Given Name (or initials), followed by the year of birth and year of death (if recorded).  Preceding each entry is a three-digit code number that identifies the place of burial.  The code numbers with corresponding cemeteries are shown below.

Researchers are advised to look at the individual cemetery listings/transcriptions for additional information, including map directions, notes/corrections provided by other researchers, and, in most cases, more complete dates.

If you cannot locate your relative, remember that many of these transcriptions were completed in the late 1950s.  Those cemeteries that are still in use have hundreds of additional burials not included in this index.  Additionally, many more graves are marked only with field stones or have been lost to time and memory.
