I intend to finish this one on a future trip. The following was transcribed from headstones. When I am able to obtain the church records to cross reference, I will post any corrections necessary. As with all things posted on my pages, these entries are as accurate as possible but there is no guarantee that I have translated difficult to read headstones correctly. If you find inaccurate listings for which you have documentation for the correct data, please contact me so that I can make the corrections available to others. All listings are alphabetically listed by last name for convenience in searching, however, they are typed as listed on the headstone first, then last name followed by birth and death dates. I have included other information from the headstones which helps define family connections etc....
