About
This free space page for the Key West Cemetery is part of WikiTree's Florida Cemeteries Project, and was created to document the life and times of our ancestors that are interred there. The Florida Cemeteries Project is a subproject of the larger U.S. Cemeteries Project.
Key West Cemetery is located in the City of Key West, the southernmost city of Florida, in Monroe County, Florida. Key West Cemetery was established in 1847 following the destruction of earlier cemeteries during a devastating hurricane in 1846. It sits at the foot of Solares Hill in Old Town. The cemetery is bordered by Passover Lane, Angela Street, Frances Street, Olivia Street and Windsor Lane. The main entrance is at 701 Passover Lane. The cemetery contains 19 aces of land with an estimated 100,000 burials.
There is a fascinating history of the Key West cemetery along with short biographies of some of the people interred there at this Internet site: Historic Houston[1]
This page is a work in progress, and will remain so until the Table of Interments (below) is completed. The Table of Interments is a sortable listing of persons interred at this cemetery, some or all of whom are linked to existing WikiTree profiles. Although all grave markers in this cemetery have been photographed (or will be shortly), the photos can only be displayed for persons with existing WikiTree profiles. If you know of a person interred at this cemetery that should be linked to an existing WikiTree profile, or needs to have a profile created for them, please contact Carolyn Martin for assistance.

To Do
Project members are needed to:
- Assist with data collection and grave marker transcriptions
- Additional photography and GPS data collection is needed, and previously collected data can be sent by email to other members willing to assist with transcriptions.
- Link existing profiles or create new profiles for persons listed in the Table of Interments
- When complete, everyone listed in the Table of Interments will be linked to their own WikiTree profile, and to a photo of that person's corresponding grave marker. The created profiles can include other genealogical and biographical information as well as a listing of sources for documentation.
- Validate links and transcription information
- Profile and photo links and transcribed information needs to be cross-checked to ensure accuracy.
- Create an audio/video tour of the cemetery
- Record a virtual tour of the cemetery that can be viewed as downloadable media on computers, tablets or other device. Such a tour would take the viewer around the cemetery to explore the history of the people buried here. Background information can be supplied. Those with mobile internet access can access online links to more information.
