Bio

– I have 6 generations in St Henry’s Cemetery Chicago. I am quite intimate with this cemetery containing many of the founding families of Rogers Park and West Ridge and Lake View neighborhoods before they were annexed into Chicago. I have over 350 photos and I am always looking to help anyone with requests. I am very familiar with many of the surnames located within and would always love to learn more.
- I live only a mile from All Saints Cemetery in Des Plaines and Ridgewood Memorial Cemetery in Des Plaines. If you seek any photos from Ridgewood Memorial you need to call their office. I have only a few from St Joseph’s in Wilmette, Il., but I can try to fulfill requests. Many of these older monuments and headstones are washed out from age. My local library has fiche of transcriptions found at St Joe's from back in the 1980's, that I could check.

I find that the time people take to correctly list family members within a memorial, the most helpful for researchers. Following the recommendations offered by Find-a-Grave to try to correct information instead of duplicating it is vital to better records for the future.
