I found a small family graveyard on my land with about 12 plots from the 1830s. Now what!?

Contact your local historical society.  They will be able to direct you as to what is customary in your area.  Don't be creeped out anyway. Just please treat the gravesites with respect as you would any other cemetery.

About 10 years ago in my garden.  Photos of my family pets and house. A pizza and Indian menu! A letter for whoever finds it, a silver crown that I dug up in the garden 20 years ago, a dick francis novel and a tin of boiled sweets!

Depending on where you live, I am sure there would be a lot of problems. I  live in an area where many people still do bury in their yards (family cemeteries, etc) and have for hundreds of years. I would contact a lawyer if I were you to find out the exact rules.

If it is of some historical significance you may find something at the historical society, otherwise you are probably out of luck.  You might check at your local city or county building department if there were any recent remodeling or renovations to the house, they may have something close to blueprints.

Has the land been transferred into your name through the probate process?  In what state is this land located?\n\nIf so, GO IN PERSON to the county recorder's office and ask them to show you what land is in your name.  You should be able to take the coordinates you are given (or that you might already have) and look in the plat books to see the location of the land.  A plat book is a very thick book that has all the land in the county in it, and it shows who owns which parcel.  Since there is so much land in a county, there are probably multiple plat books for each county or township within the county.\n\nIf it is not in your name, it needs to be put in your name ASAP.  If no one has filed for probate to administer the estate of the deceased, hire a lawyer and file.  The legal costs will come out of the estate.

You should be able to find that information out at your local city hall. They can direct you to the department that keeps records for the land in their city. As far as I know, information like that is public record.

that's pretty simple. Just ask whoever is in charge at the cemetery. They should know the answer. You could also plant a tree of remembrance in your own yard. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your difficult time.

Many cemeteries have been abandoned over the years for lack of funds. Check with the county to see if in deed is was case,If it was then your friends do own it, and other then cleaning it up there isn't any thing that can be done with the land. States have laws  specific to cemeteries and disinterring bodies,weather the grave site was abandoned or not.
