Data Limitations:
•  Expect cemeteries of the same name, even within a given township.
•  Because of the "same name" problem, there may be a few instances where it was difficult to match a transcription to the correct cemetery; read the notes fields.
•  Many cemeteries have been moved; we did our best to identify these, and to give the background information in the notes field.
•  Blank fields do exist; we did our best!
•  If you are having trouble, browse the cemetery list for your county and for bordering counties.
•  Longitude/latitude have been estimated.
•  Many cemeteries will not have an exact postal address.
•  Indian mounds are not included in this database; public cemeteries where Native Americans are buried are included.
•  Omissions are inevitable-it was impossible to recapture information on many early burial sites that are no longer visible as cemeteries. If you know a correction or addition, please send this information to MGS!
•  Errors are also impossible to prevent; use this inventory as a finding aid, and confirm the information for your family! Always check original records!

How the information was compiled: A survey form was mailed to every courthouse and genealogical or historical society in the State of Minnesota. Each volunteer personally contacted local societies in the county for assistance, and then checked a variety of sources known to contain information on Minnesota cemeteries. These included: maps; the U.S. Geological Survey; Wiley Pope's "Cemeteries in Print"; the old MGS Cemetery Notebooks; WPA Survey of Minnesota cemeteries; the "Dalby Burial Files"; the "Kirchner Burial Files"; the 2001 Mortuary Science survey, compiled by the State of MN; cemetery transcriptions published in the Minnesota Genealogist; a search of the Internet; church, county and town histories; and local directories, if available. Volunteers checked card catalogs at MGS, the Family History Library; and the Minnesota Historical Society. Many volunteers also visited their county, and the cemeteries in their county, and contacted area churches, funeral homes, local societies and the county courthouse. Each volunteer used unique methods to communicate with others, and they encountered various responses. Accordingly, the results county-to-county may vary. The date of completion for each county also varies. Some were completed as early as 2001, but most have been completed in 2005 and 2006.
