To search COOLCAT for cemetery materials in the Library, the subject heading is:

            Cemeteries -- Missouri -- name of county

There are many books listing burials in Missouri counties. The library also has an excellent finding aid to locate county cemeteries throughout Southwest Missouri.

If you know the name of the cemetery you are seeking for, the GNIS Query will lead you to a map location of many cemeteries nation wide.

One also might wish to consult the article “Cemetery Searching” in the Ozarks Genealogical Society Newsletter, February 1981, p. 4. The article may be found in the Ready Reference File at the Local History and Genealogy Desk at the Library Center.
