Happy Spring and Easter everyone!
I am headed to Mom’s today for Easter Dinner. I won’t be able to work on files until much later this evening.
Gary R. contributed a few tombstone pictures and obits for Prairie Home with the Rauh and Herwig surnames. I added those this morning.
Thank you Gary!
Happy Easter everyone!
Milwaukee was hit wit a doozy snowstorm this Good Friday. Reports from 10-15 inches of snow was reported. It was a nice day yesterday and much of it melted. Let’s hope for some more really nice days so the rest melts.
Barb has graciously offered to help with the cemetery photos. She is part way through St. Joseph’s in Oak Creek. When she gets that one finished I will let you know.
Thank you Barb for offering to help! We all appreciate your efforts!

I have had a lot of cemetery photos sent to me but I have had not had time to put descriptions with them.
I am looking for someone that would be willing to edit the descriptions of the photos that I have in the gallery.
It isn’t really hard, just involves a lot of cut and paste.
Let me know if you are interested. If I get a bunch of people to volunteer to do one cemetery, we can get them all online.
