Bio
All readable stones set before May 2011 in the Rock Springs Cemetery have been uploaded. Many burials do not have markers at all. Many stones are unreadable.
Memorials noted "obit not found on film", this means that *I* didn't find it either in the weekly summary of deaths, or in some years, while doing a page by page of the newspaper. I may have missed it. Children often did not get obits published. If you run across one, email me and I'll give it another try. It helps enormously to have the actual death date. The Wyoming Death Index 1909-1969 is available at Ancestry:
https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/61831/
and at the Internet Archive:
https://archive.org/details/wydeathindex?sort=titleSorter
If you believe the death occurred in Wyoming prior to 50 years ago, contact Wyoming Archives at http://wyoarchives.state.wy.us/index.php/ask-archivist for a scan. These are 25 cents per scan, however they don't request payment until you hit $1.
I have no kin in the Rock Springs cemetery. If one of my listings is kin to you, feel free to request a transfer. If you find errors or have additional information, please send it along through the Edit tab at the top right of the memorial page.
The city of Rock Springs has a listing available at:
https://burialsearch.com/ecims#/s/454/Rock_Springs_Municipal_Cemetery
The city listing is neither accurate nor complete, I've photographed hundreds of stones that are not in the listing. Dates in the city listing are usually *burial* dates, not death dates. There are a couple of hundred burials in the cemetery that the cemetery staff are unaware of.
My GEDMatch Kit number is A238153. I am a member of the DNA Detectives facebook group.
