File Donations Thank you to all those who are helping us extend our Greenwood Cemetery information by donating their family biographies,
obituaries and burial information. If anyone has information on the re-burials from the "Old City Cemetery of Michigan City" or would like to donate obituaries
for burials at Greenwood cemetery, please contact me at:

Please remember, I am doing this on a volunteer basis. It's going to take a very long time to get the almost 40,000 burials for Greenwood Cemetery into the system. Deanna West
