We request to receive a copy of all Bible records in Lincoln County of family data. Please contact us.  We'd also like to have a list of all ranch burials. Please contact us if you know of any such burials or data. Note: All known death records are included here at the time we compiled this list in 2001 Many more names have been discovered in new cemetery listings. See Cemeteries Page for that list. of  Duplicate records from different sources also were presented. Some records are in error. Many names are shown to be buried in the Carrizozo Cemeteries when they were actually buried on private, ranch land, or in a few cases, remains were transferred to other states. Use this file as a first guide, not as an authority. Also, these cemeteries have different names. In general, we used cemetery names listed in the book, A Graveside Directory if Cemeteries in Lincoln County by Alice Blakestad (deceased), a Lincoln County Historical Society publication. That book contains detailed data, while this internet presentation contains several thousand additional stats. If any person knows of more burials, please share that with us. Use judgment before relying on any dates. 1 January 1888 and 1 January 1988 may both be shown here as 1/1/88.  Credits and sources in no particular order: (10,787 actual entries.)
