Winter time--taking time off with the ice and snow. I'll be back at it in the spring.

I have been flooded with requests! Rock Island Memorial Park is an easy one as most burials are on their website and the cemetery is organized in a way that it's fairly easy to find graves.

Chippianock is another story. It takes me a long time to find a grave (if I do!) even if I know the section and lot. I haven't started looking at Calvary yet. They are next to each other, but I have to find other records in another office, I believe.

Be patient! I'll eventually get photos taken.

I grew up near Brooklyn, Iowa, on a farm and ended up in Rock Island, Illinois for my adult life after college. I'm a retired HS teacher who loves history and family. We can't figure out where we're going unless we know where we're from.
