South Carolina
Cemeteries Paul Kankula and Gary Flynn have located
many South Carolina cemeteries, having documented the GPS location
on many of them (some of which are estimated locations).
Estimated GPS mapping values will normally get you within eyesight
of the cemetery. Using the GPS location that they have
provided, you can use Google Earth Map to locate that cemetery.

Paul and Gary note that it's very common for a cemetery to be
known by several different names. If the cemetery's alternate
name(s) is known, they have it noted. Multiple surnames
used to describe a cemetery will normally be listed in alphabetical
order. Example: Brown-Jones-Wilson Cemetery
(not Wilson-Brown-Jones Cemetery). Surnames will normally come
before given names. Example: Brown Family,
John (not John Brown Family). It's very common for a
cemetery to be known by several different names..! If known, that
alternate name will be noted.
