During the springs of 2000 and 2001 my wife and I toured parts of Europe and visited the birthplace, ancestral villages and descendants of my paternal great grandfather's family (Jan Czudek & Zuzanna Szmekova). This reunion closed a 93-year gap of my paternal family history.

During our trip to the eastern areas of the Czech Republic we visited the Kosariska cemetery to view the interment of my ancestors. I made notes of names and dates and took a couple of pictures. I decided to photograph a few of the other markers because the interment customs were different from back home. Before I knew it I was systematically photographing all the headstones at that cemetery. This was the beginning of my graving hobby!

Upon returning to the USA I created a website and transcribed the names and dates from all my photographs. Eight years later I discovered the Find A Grave site where biographies and photos could be stored. I decided to create the Kosariska cemetery, upload my records, write a cemetery biography, and scan my original photographs. That project was completed in the spring of 2008 and the Kosariska, CZ pictures and interments are now online.

I now concentrate my research where I live, primarily within Chisago County, Minnesota. All of the county cemeteries are represented on Find A Grave with their correct names, AKA's, gate photos, and GPS coordinates. There are no missing cemeteries. This link will take you to the listing:

Chisago County, MN cemetery list


All 42 Chisago County cemeteries have their pre-1995 transcriptions online as of 25-Aug-2011.

Work continues to bring post-1995 information online. Many photographs are in my queue and they are being uploaded as time permits. Other Find-A-Grave volunteers continue the photography of cemeteries in coordination, with the goal to avoid duplication of effort.

I am a member of the Board of Directors of the Chisago County Historical Society which holds a variety of uncirculated resource materials in addition to microfilms of area newspapers, township records, census records, and other public data. Visit the CCHS website Research Library page to review indexes of our various holdings.

My personal goal of my participation in the Find A Grave website is for my contributions to preserve history and help others who are pursuing their family genealogy, either now or in the future.

The pharmacy is on Ocala, and he was attended to by Hospice of Marion County. I would say that he was in his 60's or 70's.

This is kinda strange. My wife owns a pharmacy and a lady came in one day and asked if we would deliver medications to her boyfriend. Her BF was Fred. She told her one day that he has passed. I added him to Find A Grave, but there was never an obit. All I know is that he passed. I knew that someone would drop me a line one day, because that surname is NOT very common. Bingo, here you are...any additional help would be appreciated. Dave
