The server that provides the cemeteries list is offline. If they don’t get it fixed soon, I’ll remove the link. As an alternative, you can access the township maps that show location and names of the cemeteries and burial grounds in each township on: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilbrown/Brown_cemmaps.html

 

The only help I get is from the other look up volunteers. I respond to all requests that I get.

Sincerely,

Ken Huffman

Thank you for all the effort that you invest in making information available to researchers such as myself. Looking over your BrownCo IL cemetery name index I find that you have information about almost everyone in a group of distant cousins who moved to the BrownCo area of SchulyerCo in the early 1800s. The names and pages are:

 

P350: Vandeventer

     Cornelius

     Elihu

     Eliza

     Elizabeth (Hyre)

     Joseph

     Margaret (Bonnfield)

     Peter S (both)

     Susannah (Hyre McFarland)

     William H (both)

     Zipporah (Wells)

 

P349: McFarland

     William (d~1825)

 

P361: Burgessor

     George W

     Elizabeth (Vandeventer)

     William Slater

     Marion Nelson

     Margaret Jane

 

P29: Burgessor

     Cornelius Albert

 

P412: Burgessor

     Charles Henson

 

Although there are potentially many more connections, I have limited my interest to one generation away from the Hire/Hyre/etc name that I am actually researching.

 

I would appreciate it very much if you could provide the complete inscription (as much as is available), the name of the cemetery, and (if given) an address within the cemetery. I would also appreciate driving instructions and other information about each cemetery (your "list of cemeteries" link is broken).

 

I hope that you have been able to find other volunteers to whom you can delegate some of these lookups.

 

Thank you so much for this help.
