Cemetery Surname Database & Lookups

The Walworth County Genealogical Society members worked up this index to help further the search for family members. For whatever reason, families with the surname were not always buried in the same cemetery, the same township and in some cases the same county, although they might be living in close relation to each other. We have indexed all of our cemeteries that either are in print or soon to be in hopes of easing your search.

For more information , send $3 for each surname to WCGS, PO Box 159, Delavan, WI 53115-0159. Someone will look up the information for you, copy it and send it on to you. Please do not expect us to copy all of the more common names such as requesting copies of all of the Smiths.

If you have questions concerning this index, please email kjendie@charter.net Thanks and good luck in finding your ancestors.

The database is in pdf format and somewhat large. Please be patient when uploading it.
