***********************************************************************

The tombstones in the cemeteries included herein were read between 1990
and 1995.  Special care was taken to record all information found on the
stones that would be of genealogical interest.  This project would not
have been possible without the help of the many people who gave generously
of their time and talent.

Tombstone surveys were also done in the late 1960s by Bay High students
as a history class project and by Marlene Womack in the early 1970s.
Both of these reports are included as an addendum to the particular cemetery.
These records were provided by The Bay County Genealogical Society.  This
project was chaired by Nancy Roberts, a member of The Bay County Genealogical
Society.
