Two places you wish your ancestors were buried

NEHGS eNews highlights two Midwestern cemetery websites, one small, one large:

Lakeside Cemetery in Bay Village, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, has "over 270" burials.

Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis, by contrast, has over 185,000 burials including John Dillinger's, and (this is a new one on me) a staff genealogist. It's also the headquarters of the Genealogical Society of Marion County.

Marion County Indiana Probates

If that title doesn't get your juices flowing, maybe you weren't cut out to be a genealogist! The Indiana Genealogical Society blog reports that the Genealogical Society of Marion County has just republished Jane E. Darlington's 510-page Marion County, Indiana, Probate Records, January 1830-August 1852. Which just goes to show that the blog is faster than the website, because GSMC's publications page still lists it as out of stock.
