Bio and Links
Recently I have started tracing my family tree, and in searching for the burial locations for my ancestors my family and I have found a fun and enjoyable hobby. My nine year old daughter views it as a treasure hunt. She even wants her own camera so she can take pictures by herself instead of using/sharing mine. Now as we go through towns she asks if there are any cemeteries that we need to stop at.

My favorite "treasure" that we have found was by accident. While searching through a rather large cemetery for a distant relative we found my grandfather. He had been killed in a car accident two weeks before my mother was born. I never knew when, how or where he died until I started tracing my family, and no-one was left who could remember where he was buried. At first when I saw the headstone I thought it was my uncle, as he was a junior, but I just kept looking at the date and knew that it wasn't right. Finally it dawned on me who he was.

I hope everyone out there is having just as much fun as we are. Good luck in your treasure hunting.

RE: Coyle
Bob
There are stones for Mathew & Thomas as well as one for "Daughter Helen 1888-1890" I do not know which Coyle she belongs to. They are all in the same plot.
I have a copy of the cemetery records and there are no other Coyles listed.

Catherine is indeed here, as well as several other Coyles. I don't know if they are related.

RE: Burgess
Thanks so much for the transfers! How are you related to the Burgesses? Nice to meet another cousin. I've got lots of great information on the Burgess/Johnson families I'll be uploading.

Hi,

I have been researching the Harlow family and I have come across this individual and his parents names were Frank E. Harlow and Ruth Marie Kerr.
Thought you might want to add it to his info.
