Transcriptions and some directions have been contributed by the individuals listed in the USGenWeb archives. If you have transcribed a cemetery and would like to have it included here, please e-mail me.

The majority of these cemeteries listed were found using the United States Geogological Surgery (USGS) pages; the area listed in parenthesis after many of these is the area in which the USGS says is a census map, but it does not mean it is actually IN that community, but rather is in the U.S. Census Bureau's map of that name. It usually means it is somewhat close to that community, but doesn't tell us how close. All attempts have been made to make sure these locations are correct - longitude and latitude coordinates have been compared with graves listed on Find-A-Grave.com. As with other pages on this site, this is a work in progress. As new information becomes available, it will be added.

Sources used here include United States Geological Survey (USGS), Department of the Interior; Find-A-Grave.com, where many partial transctipts, as well as some obituaries and photos were located; epodunk.com; HomeTownLocator.com; www.interment.net; wikipedia.org; and individual researchers. When a cemetery has only one source, that source is listed at the end of the description. If multiple sources onfirmed the cemetery information, those sources are not listed indivually. Keep in mind some of these listings could be duplicates; for example, a listing from the USGS may be the same cemetery as that listed on Find-A-Grave, but which I can't confirm is the same cemetery.

Please be sure and *zoom* in or out on the maps to learn more about where a cemetery is in relation to other locations in Berkeley County. Also, unless stated as complete transcriptions, the graves transcribed may only be partial.
