Cemetery records, such as tombstone and [[Sexton Records|sexton’s records]], have value in that they may give birth and death dates, age at death, name of spouse and children, a maiden name or, occasionally, a birthplace. Tombstones may have symbols or insignias indicating military service and social or religious affiliations. It is important to look at surrounding tombstones because family members may also be buried nearby.
=== Resources  ===
*The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) collection contains tombstone inscriptions from Georgia cemeteries. This is described in [[Georgia Genealogy|Georgia Genealogy]]. Another important collection is ''Cemetery Records of Georgia'', 16 Volumes. (Salt Lake City, Utah: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1946-52; {{FHL|175953|item|disp=FHL microfilms 873725-28; microfiche 6046960; book 975.8 V22c}}
*Many tombstone inscriptions have been published in the Georgia Genealogical Society Quarterly and in other journals described in [[Georgia Periodicals|Georgia Periodicals]]. Burial lists for Union and Confederate soldiers have also been published.
*A county-by-county list of cemetery record transcripts available at the Family History Library is:
:The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Family History Library. ''Index to United States Cemeteries''. Salt Lake City, Utah: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1988. {{FHL|613269|item|disp=FHL film 1206470}}
*The FamilySearch Catalog Place-names Search lists local cemetery records under:
