Our first area of focus will be to develop our own supply of information. Any information that we obtain or create should be made available through this website, either for public viewing or for the Directors area. Photos, deeds, maps, interment lists, and links to other online sources are all desired. Every cemetery on this page has a Documentation page for all of this information as well.


Our second area of focus will be to contribute to the accuracy of databases that pertain to the cemeteries of Middleborough.
Google Maps and Places - These were updated in support of this website. There are issues that Chip is working on still.
Middleborough Assessors - we can provide them with photographs for their Vision database pages. They have 5 instances of "cemetary". There are names that should be updated along with contact information.
USGS GNIS - this is a function of the federal government. Any website that creates maps uses this site as their starting point.
MACRIS - this is a function of the Massachusetts Historical Commission.
Plymouth Colony Pages - this is a regional genealogical resource maintained by Dale Cook
FamilySearch.org - the Plymouth County portion of this genealogical resource is maintained by Drew Bartley
FindaGrave.com - We have an account with this website. This account supports the FindaGrave page on our website.


Our third area of focus will be to "Preserve and promote the memory of those persons interred within Middleborough". This is Genealogy.
