Abstract: Cemetery locations for Volusia County determined by using a variety of data sources as listed below. Last Updated: 10/2020. FL Master Site File. The original boundary data are based on field recording forms and site plots submitted to the Site File. Florida Master Site File site folders contain historic cemetery forms with descriptive location data, photographs and any site plots provided by the surveyor. For more information on the Florida Master Site File contact Vincent Birdsong, Supervisor/GIS Administrator, Florida Master Site File, Dept of State Division of Historical Resources, vincent.birdsong@dos.myflorida.com, 850-245-6440. USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) Database Volusia County GenWeb Genealogical Program http://fl-genweb.org/volusia/cems/index.html with a great deal of appreciation and assistance from local historian, Bill Morgan. Transcription Library:<http://www.interment.net/us/fl/> West Volusia County Historical Society https://www.delandhouse.com/ Some data locations were derived from Steve Rajtar’s Florida Historic Walking Tours series. Florida Cemeteries D'ADDEZIO.com <http://www.daddezio.com/cemetery/junction/CJ-FL-NDX.html> USGenWeb Archives http://files.usgwarchives.net/fl/volusia/cemeteries/ Many of the cemeteries in this directory are linked to transcriptions published elsewhere on the Internet. If you have questions about the information contained on another site, please send it to the webmaster that maintains it. DERIVATION METHODS FOR DATA: This data layer was created using a combination of existing local data sources compared against property ownership records and Dept of Revenue land use codes. Record locations identified were placed by means of on-screen (heads-up) digitizing of cemetery locations in ArcGIS. Other sources included modern and historic aerial photography as well as scanned, georeferenced, 1:24,000 scale USGS quadrangles in geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude, NAD27) that were used as background reference. In many cases the cemeteries already appeared on the quadrangle maps. LIMITATIONS OF THE DATA/WARNINGS TO THE USER: The historic cemetery data are based on field reports which have been submitted by many and varied individuals, groups, institutions, and cultural resource firms. The locations are only as accurate as the location information submitted by the site recorder. The accuracy of submitted information cannot always be verified. The absence of a cultural resource in this data layer does not preclude the existence of an unrecorded resource in the field. The cemeteries recorded do not represent all the historic cemeteries present in Volusia County. The locations of archaeological sites, historic structures, unmarked human burials, cemeteries, and other cultural features contained in this data set are for resource management, law enforcement, and research purposes only. State law protects archaeological remains on state owned and controlled lands section 267.13, Florida Statutes. State law protects human burial sites on all lands under sections 872.02 and 872.05, Florida Statutes.
