RE: Elizabeth Conger Sutton
Hi Richard,
Elizabeth Conger Sutton (Find A Grave # # 8059622) is my 8th great grandmother. Would you be willing to transfer the management of her memorial to my care?
Thank you.

Joseph Youngquist Memorial
Richard, I linked Joseph's Youngquist's family to him, and would be more than willing to transfer ownership over to you, as I am not related to Joseph at all. Just let me know. Thanks for passing on the information too.

I would appreciate transfers for Hannah and Helmer in Wayside in Barron. They were my in-laws and grandparents to my daughters.

Athleague Parish Cemetery.
Hi,

In that instance you need to request admin to include Athleague in the pull down menu for Galway, explaining its proximity as a border town to the possible burial place you are seeking and have the memorials in the most likely county this being Galway.

Hi,

Cemetery records/Headstones are being digitized in parts of Galway but not sure haw far they are with completing exercise. Suggest you contact:-

Marie Mannion,
Heritage Officer,
Galway County Council,
Prospect Hill, Galway County Council
E-mail mmannion@galwaycoco.ie

Attaching a memorial to a cemetery where burial is unknown should be avoided.If you edit the burial detail selecting recent burial it will remove from the cemetery page for Roscommon and show Burial unknown.

Athleague Parish Cemetery.
Hi Richard,

Reading between the lines of your memorials you are not absolutely sure that any of your family members were buried in either of the three cemeteries in Athleague Town, Roscommon or any part of Athleague Parish Roscommon, but more likely one of the cemeteries of Athleague Parish in Galway.

Am I on the right lines
