Locations of major cemeteries and identification of large families buried in them can be found in volume two of W. Craig Remington's Historical Atlas of Alabama (Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama, Department of Geography, 1999). Scattered volumes have been published by various patriotic, historical, and genealogical societies. Many individual cemetery transcriptions have been published in periodicals.
