ADDITIONAL SECTION HEADING(S)

Main section(s) with subsections that will vary state to state. Can be elaborate or basic according to the host's preferences. This is the place for your original content. Can include links to other pages or offsite resources. Try not to reinvent the wheel and duplicate resources already online. If a particularly good site already exists that includes, say, African Ancestored cemetery records for your state, then link to it. You will include your own cemetery transcriptions here.

Original content specific to your state is what we're looking for.
