The McLennan County Cemetery Interest Group is an informal group of citizens interested in the cemeteries and/or burials in McLennan County, Texas.

   Our group is a volunteer organization of the Waco-McLennan County Library—Genealogy Division.  Members include the Reference Librarian, Bill Buckner,  members of the Central Texas Genealogical Society, Inc, Projects Committee as well as members from the general public.  Anyone interesting in helping to preserve cemetery data for the future is welcome.

   There is no charge or fee associated with our group—we are volunteers working to protect McLennan County history.   

   Our goal is to become the source of information on Waco and McLennan County cemeteries by providing accurate documentation of cemetery histories and inventories.

   The McLennan County Cemetery Interest Group seeks to provide a forum for discussion on our area cemeteries, as well as become a source of information and record preservation for all McLennan County cemeteries and burials.   Our activities to date include:
