Earlier in the week I had dropped a quick spreadsheet of some people in my family (or for whom I had performed a RAOGK). It also was accompanied by a map of the Mt Olivet Cemetery (shown to the left).
Mt Olivet is part of the Mt Elliott Cemetery Association which is made up of the following cemeteries:
Mt Elliott, Mt Olivet, Resurrection, All Saints, Guardian Angel and The Preserve cemeteries. They also have an online database that you can search for your ancestor here: http://mtelliott.com/genealogy .
The map seems to indicate that there are about 75-85 sections to the cemetery (Most are numbered, but the annex sections have Letters). I have section maps for Sections: 15, 24, 52 and L. These section maps have family names (probably of the original deed-holder family) written in the boxes.
I would like to collect the entire set of section map pictures. So my plea to you, my readers is do you have a scanned map of any of the sections of Mt Olivet (Detroit) cemetery?
If you have any or all of these Section Maps, then can you email these images (preferably in JPG/JPEG), but I will take any format you have. The image needs to be clear enough to read the names in the boxes. Let me show you an example (a portion) of what I am looking for:
Ok readability is highly variable. Obviously they can write smaller than can be read. But what I am trying to do is read…
“Pitlock”, Plot 1223, “Chojnaski”, Plot 1222, etc.
These are sometimes called Plot Maps. The one here is a snippet from Section 15.
The three most desired Section Maps are: Section 54 (where my father’s infant brother, Henry is buried) & Section 57 (where my grandfather Joseph is buried) and Section G where my aunt Sally and her son/my cousin Stephen is buried .
Thanks Internet!
