Rescuing "Forgotten" Cemeteries

Elizabethtown-Kitley has over 60 cemeteries within its borders, over half of which are no longer maintained and have fallen into neglect. Some of the very early cemeteries contain the remains of individuals who are the very founders of our Township or have other claims to prominence.

For more information on cemeteries, please contact the Heritage Committee. For more information on genealogy, some of the following links may be of assistance:
