About This Resource:
Mill Creek Church of the Brethren Cemetery is located in Port Republic,
which is just to the east of Harrisonburg, Virginia. The cemetery itself is located just a bend in
the road at the top of a hill and is just behind and beside the church. The cemetery is very well
maintained and is still in use today. The oldest section appears to be in the front and to the right
just after coming thru the front gate. The researcher that photographed and cataloged this cemetery
was able to establish a family relationship between most of the people that are buried here.
The cemetery was read and imaged in September 2005. The database and associated images are the copyrighted work of William E. Wilson, Jr. who generously supplied them to the Allen County Public Library for distribution to individual genealogical researchers.
About Searching This Resource:
The database doesn't store the surname separately from the first name,
so you'll have to enter your search like this:
The search engine will try to be as flexible as possible. Therefore, if Use Fuzzy Search is
set to Yes (which it is by default), the search engine will
match partial names. If you search for Smith, the engine will find
anything that has Smith in it. It would find Smith, Adam, Smithson, Ted, etc.
If you set Use Fuzzy Search to No, then searching for Smith, Adam will
only find entries whose name is exactly Smith, Adam. It will not find Smith, Adam T.
Please use the fields below to refine your search. Note that while none of
the fields are mandatory, you'll get better results if you refine your search.
Also, to keep the system running smoothly, the search will return a maximum of 1000 items.
