Cemetery Listings is a new feature of the site. As time permits, cemetery listings will be posted and organized by state. The majority of listings will concern all spellings of the surname, including Van Zandt, Van Sant, Vanzant, Vinzant, etc., and some of their immediate descendents. If you’d like to submit new listings, please follow the table format already established. Files can be submitted using tables in Word or in Excel to VanZandtSociety@earthlink.net
