-There is no major statewide collection or index of cemetery transcripts available at present. The [http://www.rootsweb.com/~nvnengs/ Northeastern Nevada Genealogical Society], P.O. Box 1903, Elko, Nevada 89801, is currently compiling cemetery records and will do look-ups. The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) collection contains inscriptions from some Nevada cemeteries (see [[Nevada Genealogy]]). The Nevada Historical Society and several county libraries have collected mortuary records that date back to the 1870's.
