Wildwood has been burying the people of Williamsport since 1863, and the records go back that far. Whether you are tracing your own family, checking whether your family already holds burial rights here, or chasing a single name you found somewhere else, this is where to start.
Look up a name yourself
Our burial index runs to 54,402 records, transcribed from the ledgers the office has kept since 1863. Start here for what we hold and how to get a name looked up.
Trace a family, or check burial rights
Lots purchased at any point may be used by future direct descendants unless otherwise specified, so finding an ancestor here can matter for more than curiosity. Our office can do a quick check from a few family names, or a deeper search of the digitised paperwork.
Research beyond our records
Much of what you will want is held elsewhere: the Lycoming County Genealogical Society at the Taber Museum, the James V. Brown Library’s newspaper archive, and FamilySearch. We keep a list of what we actually recommend.
Found something? Tell us
If you turn up something about a person buried here, we would like to know — even if we already have it, confirmation is worth having.
Our own projects
We are currently working on private research projects. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates — if you see something you know about, please comment or get in touch.
Questions about any of this: contact the office or call (570) 323-8421.
