Hillsborough County, Florida Cemeteries

The Florida Genealogical Society published an 8 volume set that is the most complete list of Hillsborough County cemeteries that I have found but they did miss a few. It contains 89 cemeteries in the county plus 2 that are located just outside the county but mainly serve county residents. I have found quite a few more and am adding to the list all the time. So far I have found 126 cemeteries in the county. Currently this site has over 86,000 graves listed. I also have almost 25,000 headstone pictures online. The year established is the earliest date on a headstone. Some cemeteries were formally organized as much as 30 or 40 years after the first burials. Very few cemeteries are completely up to date. That won't happen for a long time to come so keep checking back for updates. A word about sources is in order. If I use a direct quote it will be so noted in the same paragraph or at the bottom of the same page. Otherwise the information came from the following list of sources. The "# graves" column only indicates how many graves are included on this site, and not how many there actually are in a particular cemetery. Some headstones may have been missed or there may be unmarked graves that have not been included in previous surveys discovered through research or information received from family members. "yes" in the stone column without a link means that I have seen a picture of a headstone for that person but since it is not my picture and I haven't received permission, I haven't used it other than to confirm information for the listing.

I am planning to write a book about the history of the Hillsborough County cemeteries. If you are interested in getting a copy (which may be a while), send me an e-mail and I will add you to my list to notify once it is completed. If anyone has any information about the history of any of these cemeteries, knows of any I do not have listed or would like to help me take pictures of the headstones - PLEASE E-mail me. Joyce from Odessa gave me over 3500 headstone pictures which will be included in their appropriate locations. My goal is to list all the graves in the cemeteries of Hillsborough County along with pictures of all the headstones that still exist.
