Links to the Past

Added photos to the photo gallery:

Weber family sent in by Lenora for the Weber family in St. Mary’s. These are additional photos of stones that are already in the cemetery.

I was able to get to the library the other day and make copies of some of the delcaration of intent indexes for Waukesha County.

If anyone is interested in helping transcribing these indexes, please let me know.  If everyone does a page or two it will be done before we know it.

I added a couple new marriages to the  marriage section.

Added gravestone photos submitted by Connie to Prairie Home Photo Gallery.  Surname Guderyon. Thanks Connie.

I also updated Prairie home cemetery better identifying the surnames that have photos in the photo gallery.  If the name has a photo I am putting a tombstone icon next to the surname.  If you click on that icon, you go immediately to the cemetery.  Look for the icon

Yesterday I spent time on St. Paul’s UCC (formerly St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran) Cemetery . It started with adding a link to Lenora’s wonderful cemetery photos she has put online at find-a-grave.com, then adding obituaries for some of the burials in the cemetery. The cemetery is number 65.

In the process I came across an article on the circumstances of William Erdman and August Amend deaths.

Barb finished putting the photos for Prairie Home into the photo gallery.  These are the same photos that were on the site simply in a different format so they are more easily searchable.  You can see the photos (and use the search and keyword features) by going to the Prairie Home Cemetery Tombstone Photographs page of the gallery.

The burials and interments for Prairie Home will be put on the site later today.
