Monday, March 24th, 2008

I realized I had not posted this from last week.

Sometimes I don’t think I thank people enough for all that they send me. I get a lot of stuff and try to put things on as quickly as possible. If it were not for all of you sending in your information/photos/tidbits that you have, the sites would not be as large as they are.

Today I added death information sent in to me by researchers.

To Lincoln Memorial I added: LEMKE, MANTHEI, SHUMACHER, BAILEY

I updated Sacred Heart of Jesus Cemetery of St. Francis. Including additons of photographs of some of the tombstones.

I added some deaths to Holy Trinity:

BERTLER, ECK, ESSER, GOELZ, GOMBER, HOEFT, HUWER, LEDERER, MAAS, MARKEIWICZ, MONDLOCH, QUAST, REBHOLZ, REUTER, SALB, SCHUMACHER, SOMERS, STARCZAK, STRAUBINGER, STUBBE
