Blandford Cemetery

Also see additional burials submitted by family members and not included in the WPA index.

At this point, we only have the index completed.  It should be noted that we already know this index is not complete based on family records provided by others.  If you have family members buried at Blandford, please let us know and they will be added.  I will next link the index to the actual image pages and lastly, we hope to get all the inscriptions transcribed.  If you would like to help by transcribing one or more pages, any help would be greatly appreciated. There are 400 pages of inscriptions covering over 4000 actual tombstones.  It has long been my ambition to get the complete WPA inscriptions online.  Even a casual review will show there are many errors but without checking each tombstone, it is not possible to tell if these may be typographical errors or actual errors made at the time the tombstones were carved or simply variants in spellings. For my own transcription errors (and there are many) please do let me know when you find an error between the index and the inscriptions and/or page numbers..   They will be corrected as quickly as possible. I never see my own errors so I depend on researchers to keep me straight. Do take a look at he early postcards I purchased on e-Bay showing the church as it appeared in 1927 and a photo of the interior of the church during the same period. Don't miss the "Then & Now" photos showing identical perspective photos, the first taken in 1865 and the later taken in 2006
