Exploring Almost Forgotten Gravesites in the Great State of Ohio

Dedicated to cemetery preservation in the great state of Ohio


"A cemetery may be considered as abandoned when all or practically all of the bodies have been Removed therefrom and no bodies have been buried therein for a great many years, and the cemetery has been so long neglected as entirely to lose its identity as such, and is no longer known, recognized and respected by the public as a cemetery. 1953 OAG 2978."

Spotlighting the Fayette County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society and its publications - tombstone inscriptions - Interment Records, and the 1924 Cemetery Plat Book.

The Fayette County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society is not a large chapter in membership, however, what it lacks in numbers it more than makes up in participation by its chapter leaders, members of First Families of Fayette County, new chapter members, and others.  
There is always plenty of content in their newsletters that helps researchers to stay abreast of the current news of the chapter.  New ancestral stories and records are regularly published that keep members engaged.
