Links to the Past

Obituaries and death notices are one of the most requested genealogical items. Often an obit or death notice can give the birth date, birthplace, as well as names of relatives and friends.

This week I organized the death notice file and merged it with my obituary index file. I then added a few more obituaries.

McEvoy, Heath, Dickenson, Kranisch

Added a new page, Died Here buried elsewhere. For folks that died in Milwaukee and were buried somewhere else. As time permits I will be moving some of the folks out of Cemetery X that belong in this file.
To that file I added:

Ludwig, Kranisch, Panzram, Raeuber, Risch, Sloan

I added names into the following cemeteries:

A-H in Honey Creek Cemetery. (#107)

A-H St. Matthias Cemetery (#063)

A-H Temple Menorah (#040)

A-H Blessed Sacrament (#034)

A-H Forest Home (#043)

A-H St. Peter’s Lutheran (095)

A-H Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery Ozaukee County (#202)

I needed a break from obits so I’ve been putting on tombstone photos. I have most of
the cemeteries done up to #40 at least. The tombstone links will bring up the photo.
I now have 200 gigs of space to work with so I plan to put on all the tombstone photos
I have. You can get the photos you want, just right click and save the photo to a file
in your image program.
