This is not really on our subject but I thought someone might be able to forward the request to the right office.----------------Johnnie ------------------------------------------ ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- 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. Dr. Preston E. Pierce Ontario County Historian 3871 Co. Rd. #46 Canandaigua, NY 14424
