Delaware Cemetery Updates

The Cemeteries in Delaware page is in the process of being updated. We are pleased to announce an update taking place. We have a development table created by Bob Eckman (Website volunteer and DGS member). Bob has been working on finding additional cemeteries that were not in the original data and documenting them. In addition, he has been referencing the cemetery on the Find-A-Grave website and adding the reference link and a link to google maps.

The new table is a work in progress and will be updated occasionally. When completed this new table will replace the current table.

Please thank Bob for his hard work.
