The Dallas Genealogical Society (DGS) Oakland Cemetery survey team of Suzan Younger,
Shari Degan, Alvin Harper, Barbara Ware and Tresa Gomez recorded all the visible tombstones
twice. The records transcription team of DGS members Suzan Younger, Carole Ruska, Barbara
Ware and Carolyn Smith have recorded, compared and edited the tombstone transcriptions,
interment cards, lot owner cards, alpha singles ledger, and singles ledger and are preparing the
database for publication. Harold Williams, Oakland Cemetery sexton, has been immeasurable
help to this project and team members. The transcription team realizes that even with careful
edits and checks, it is possible that a date or name may not be correct. The members would
appreciate any corrections that can be verified.
