An excel file would be find.  I would be interested in what information you have on the Melvin Family Plot.

Thanks,

  Hi,

  Because I organized the group that computerized the database of all the
  burials for Metro, I have on my computer the early burials in Powell Grove
  Cem.

  I have them on Filemaker Pro, but can export the specific burials to a
  comma-delimited file that you can open in Excel or some other database if
  you like.

  Is there a specific family or group you're looking for in the cemetery, or
  just the early ones?

  had from 1949 forward.  In my case about 70 pages.  But they had no records
  prior to 1949.  I believe this cemetery began in the late 1880's.

  when I can.
