Q: Where can I find Johnson County cemetery information?

I use the Digital Cemetery website associated with JoCoHistory.org for my research, but I see that it is currently inaccessible. What other sources can I use?

Cemetery information can provide valuable leads for genealogy and local history research. Some researchers may be familiar with the Digital Cemetery database associated with JoCoHistory.org, which has a curated collection of Johnson County cemetery data. The system for the Digital Cemetery is no longer supported, so the website is currently unavailable. 

While solutions for restoring access to this information are investigated, these are a few additional resources you can explore:

  • Find A Grave - Cemeteries
    https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery
    This information is crowd-sourced from thousands of contributors, and many Johnson County cemeteries are represented. 

     
  • Internment.net - Johnson County Cemetery Records
    http://www.interment.net/us/ks/johnson.htm
    This website contains millions of cemetery records with each transcription from a single source: a tombstone transcriber, a cemetery, a government agency, a private organization or an archived document. Many of the Johnson County records are from the same developer and coordinator of the Digital Cemetery data collection.

     
  • Johnson County KS GenWeb - Cemeteries
    https://jocoksgw.cottonhills.net/cemeteries.html

    The developer and coordinator of the Digital Cemetery data collection also posted the cemetery indexes on this website for genealogy researchers.
     
  • Library Resources and Lists
    https://www.jocolibrary.org/genealogy​
    Our librarians and Johnson County Genealogical Society volunteers have pulled together a number of resources that may be of value to your research. You can also contact us with specific research questions, and we'll do our best to get you connected with pertinent information resources.
