This web site is a hobby project not associated with the cemetery's owners, East Norriton Township.
The goals of the web site are twofold: First, to make data about the cemetery and those interred there available to those searching for genealogical data. Second, to enhance the recreational opportunity afforded by the cemetery by highlighting points of interest and thus encouraging local residents to explore the site.
The names and dates that appear on this site come from different sources: first, the inscriptions on the markers themselves; second, the official records of the cemetery, as reconstructed; and finally, from contributions and other sources. This site attempts to walk the fine line of helping visitors make sense of often conflicting data without biasing the information towards a presumption of the "truth."
