Submission of a Cemetery Record Revision to AAFA

This form allows you to submit revisions to cemetery data to the Alford American Family Association for inclusion in the Cemeteries database. Revisions are submitted by State and by reference number of the grave record being revised. For example, on the Mississippi Cemeteries page of the website, you will find that the interment of Dewey Earl Alford in Greenlawn Memorial Cemetery in Adams County, Mississippi is reference number 001322. The reference number remains the same for any given grave, even when the webpage is revised. In the reference number field below, you may omit the leading zeroes of the reference number. So to submit a revision to the record of Dewey Earl Alford, you may enter either 001322 or just 1322.

When you complete the form and click the "Submit" button at the bottom, the information will be emailed directly to the AAFA Data Manager. The AAFA Data Manager will review the data, post your submission to the Interments Database and to the AAFA Cemetery data on this website. You will be advised by return email when the data has been added to the database, and when it has been posted to the appropriate State data on the AAFA website.

Enter the family branch of the deceased by selecting the branch from the appropriate pulldown at the right. Select a family branch only if you are changing the branch from what is on the website. The family branch code is a tool that AAFA uses to identify ancestors. The family branch code consists of the first three letters of the ancestor's first name, the last three digits of his birth year, and the USPS abbreviation for his birth state. For example JOH807LA identifies John Seaborn Alford, born in 1807 in Louisiana. The family branch code is also the way we identify the genealogies on this website. The branch codes are divided into three groups, first names beginning with the letters A - I, those beginning with J, and those beginning with K - Z. Within each pulldown, the branches are ordered alphabetically by first name, then by year of birth.
