Veterans Gravesite Records for Gilleland 
United States Department of Veterans Affairs Nationwide Gravesite Locator

The United States Department of Veterans Affairs operates a "Nationwide Gravesite Locator" search engine at http://gravelocator.cem.va.gov/j2ee/servlet/NGL_v1

According to the Dept of Veterans Affairs, this search engine allows you to "Search for burial locations of veterans and their family members in VA National Cemeteries, state veterans cemeteries, various other military and Department of Interior cemeteries, and for veterans buried in private cemeteries when the grave is marked with a government grave marker.

"The Nationwide Gravesite Locator includes burial records from many sources. These sources provide varied data; some searches may contain less information than others. Information on veterans buried in private cemeteries was collected for the purpose of furnishing government grave markers, and we do not have information available for burials prior to 1997.

"Erroneous information can be corrected, but we are unable to add to the information contained in the existing record.

"If your search returns incorrect information about a veteran or family member buried in a national cemetery, please contact the cemetery directly to discuss your findings.

"To report incorrect information about a veteran buried in a private cemetery, click on "Contact the VA" at the bottom of this page. Names cannot be added to the listing if a government grave marker was not furnished for the grave, or if the existing government grave marker was furnished prior to 1997."

Please refer to the URL at the top of this post for more information regarding other types of information, including overseas gravesites. I have gleaned the locator for Gilliland records and have placed two documents in the Gilliland Trails file. Although the Veterans Affairs burial records include over three hundred entries for Gilliland, the list is by no means complete. I have noticed many gaps in the Civil War records and the locator will be of little use for those searching for burial sites for veterans who served their country prior to the Civil War. Still, the sheer number of entries and the information they contain may be of great benefit to our Gilliland families here in the U.S.

Any similar records to be found among the archives of the UK, Canada, Australia, or else where would be a most welcome addition to our library.
