Cemetery Database for Dauphin Co., Pennsylvania WELCOME to our database of Dauphin Co., Pennsylvania, cemeteries. We want to thank Karl and Dottie Fox for all of their efforts in putting this index together, for making it available to the Society and for making it possible to provide this important genealogical resource to the general public.  The database consists of two parts. The first part of the database is an alphabetical listing of over 115,000 names of deceased individuals: 1)  Who died in Dauphin Co., Pennsylvania, and were buried in a Dauphin Co. cemetery. 2)  Who died elsewhere and were buried in a Dauphin Co. cemetery. 3)  Who died in Dauphin Co., Pennsylvania, but were buried elsewhere.
