Please help the ACPA reach it's goal of registering every cemetery in the State of Alabama, old & new. We invite you to register your cemetery, or cemeteries, with the ACPA Cemetery Register. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Alabama Cemetery Preservation Alliance is working to correctly locate, identify and photograph ALL of Cherokee County's Cemeteries. Lost and obscure cemeteries especially need your help! If you know of an obscure or little-known cemetery, we would like to hear from you. They can be hiding down little traveled roads and trails, lost in the forests and woods, or long hidden on private property. Some can be as small as just one or two graves. Please contact us if you know of unmarked graves that we should be aware of. Help us locate these hard to find cemeteries. We would like everybody to participate in this worthwhile project. By registering a cemetery with the ACPA Cemetery Register, you will be helping to insure it's location and preservation, protected by State Law. We at the ACPA would also like to remind everyone, while in their work to preserve Alabama’s cemeteries, please respect the land owners. Always ask for permission before entering private property.
