Some Family Names
When we receive correspondence from someone requesting information on a family represented at Erie Cemetery, we try to share as much information as possible. Usually we are able to compile a list of people buried in Erie Cemetery with a certain surname. Following are some of the lists of burials for surnames requested via the internet.
