This is not really on our subject but I thought someone might be able to
forward the request to the right office.----------------Johnnie

I have been given information that there is a rural cemetery database
maintained by USGS.  Could you send me information on that?  As County
Historian for Ontario County, NY I would like to use such a database for our
planners, family history researchers, and for tourism information.  Visits to
family history sites is popular here as a form of tourism.  We get thousands
of out-of-state visitors for that purpose.  I may be able to contribute to
that database also since we have 177 documented cemteries.
