Would there be genealogists in the area with duplicate maps of the cemetery? It seems very strange that the sole copy of the maps and records lay with the local management. I would think that either the LDS church or local African-American churches would have duplicate records.
That's a good idea- I wonder if there are any historians in the churches there that have information/maps that would be of use?
I feel so badly for the families and the loved ones that were layed there to "rest in peace".
