thing is i have been having trouble finding that particular part and my grand aunt who told me its hard to gather her memory she is 76 and in a nursing home but thats what she remembers when she and her father and sister was buring their mother. this was so strange because my great grand mother died in june1941 so i tried to find a nottingham church cemetary in the town of nottingham no luck its a pretty small town out of jefferson county, alabama, i even tried talladega, and sylcauga no luck on find a cemetary with that name i am started to believe that they must have renamed that cemetary or something else. can anyone tell me what should i do?

    Also, your state or county should have some official bureau of cemetaries, and someone there should be able to tell if a cemetary has been renamed.


  2. If you know the town town she died in,then perhaps you could check the Libraries records of old local newspapers for that month and year. Perhaps you may get lucky and there may be a section in the 'deaths. column, that column usually states the time and place of the burial.

    If you think it's changed it's name,then you could just put a few words in the towns local paper asking if anyone has any information and it's new name

    Here is a list of cemeteries in Talladega county.  I googled Nottingham, and it came up on google map as unincorporated place.. but down the road is Alpine (and Alpine shows on this list).  Click on the name Alpine and it is surveyed.

    Your other option is to call a mortuary.  I found an ad for Usrey-Brown funeral home in Talladega, but the cool thing is the ad says they have been in business over 60 yrs (in a 1991 mortuary directory).  Normally, they will know where cemeteries are.. or tell you who does.

    Last resort, of course.. run down the death date and send for the death certificate.
