When you send me info., or corrections, please be patient. I will be sure to take care of them. Sometimes I have more time than others. Since I do not post the names of living people, it is done this way. If the oldest surviving child is a son, and next in age is a daughter, a son, etc. it would say; survived by a two sons, and a daughter. The oldest gender comes first.
I have recently started to post the names of spouses and parents only (if known), whether they are living or not, to help others that are researching their family ancestry.
******************************************
The purpose of this site is to honor people. Everyone deserves to be remembered. I do not include the names of most living relatives, per f-a-gr's policy. I also have included memorials
for some of my family and other relatives and friends. I am of English, Hungarian, and French ancestry, & some of the FAMILY SURNAMES are listed near the end of this page.
******************************************
If I am currently accepting gravestone photo
requests, please know that if I claim one, I
will make every effort to take it. However,
my ability to take the photo will depend upon
whether or not I can obtain the location of the grave from the cemetery office. Michigan Memorial is a huge cemetery, as one example. I cannot walk the entire cemetery, least of all repeatedly. I cannot photograph in Canada right now. Plz add info. abt grave location if u can. If you know the names of any spouses, parents, or children, please add them as a note to your request. They are often buried nearby, so that can be very helpful.
**********************************************
I am a grandmother of five, they are wonderful. I now have a bit more free time, which helps. I love animals, the outdoors, geneaology research, singing, reading, gardening, baking and making new friends. Thank you very much for the flowers some of you have put on my entries. I really appreciate it a lot!
******************************************
I have started to post memorials for people where cremation was chosen. Some of them are in my virtual cemetery with that title. I started my virtual cemeteries over a period of time. So my veterans (for example) may not contain ALL of the veterans in my memorials.
*******************************************
If I have posted information about a relative
of yours, you may use it for your ancestry purposes. I am very careful about accuracy.
If there are errors, please let me know, and
I will make corrections. In some cases I may
be related to the person, but in many cases
I might not be. Please use the tab for corrections, it saves time. Thank you. You may also E-MAIL ME, at -- Lazoo@hotmail.com --. If you do, be sure to put find-a-grave in the subject line, I DELETE ALL unknown senders!!
*******************************************
If there is a photo of the person, please do
not post it on an ancestry site, or anywhere else without my permission. Please ask first, so that we can clarify which it is. I really appreciate your consideration. This applies only if it was added by Curious. But simple courtesy as to photo copyrights should stand.
*******************************************
It would help if people took the time to read how this site works, it would save time and avoid misunderstandings in many cases.
I hope to honor the memory of the individuals entered here. Many of them are not related to me. Some of my relatives are either already entered, or the grave locations have been hard to find. I am also very involved in researching the ancestry lines in my family.
********************************************
Some of the SURNAMES I'm focusing on are:
********************************************
Most of these names are from England originally, while St. Aubin and LaTarte are from France. The St. Aubins went from France to Canada, to the Detroit, Michigan area rather early on.
Their real name was Casse, and they adopted St. Aubin, because it noted the area of France that they were from. The three hungarian names are Pinkoczy, Kiraly, and Kulscar.
They are in no particular order............
--Winslow, Worthington,DeBosco, Farington, Worden, Ellis, St. Aubin, LaTarte, Pinkoczy, Kiraly, Kulscar, Bayley, Travis, Hillman, Chase, Burgess, Taylor, Gowell, Baker, Holder, Townley, Freeman, Nye. I do have more information on these family lines, if anyone is interested. I have many male relatives who were in the military, in every war and conflict that our country has had, and this Ellis family line was in England before that. I am very appreciative of anyone who has served in our military, even if we are not related in any way.I love this country, and find that I am more patriotic as time goes by.
******* HUNGARIAN SURNAMES ***********
Pinkoczy--Kiraly and Kulscar--- I have run into brick walls on these hungarian lines. Sadly, there are no living relatives to ask now, at least not that I am aware of, anyway. The ones
that are living do not know the answers.
****************************************
I will TRANSFER ONLY within the established find-a-grave guidelines, unless I am equally, or more closely related than the person making the request. If you have information to be added, or corrections, please let me know and I will add it to the person's memorial.
**** PLEASE REMEMBER**************
The find-a-grave transfer policy does NOT include aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, etc.
I do appreciate a thank you for a transfer...
-----------------------------------------
IT DOES APPLY to: parents, grandparents,great grandparents, siblings, children, grandchildren,grt. grandchildren, WITHIN these 4 generations ONLY!!
----------------------------------------
ALSO----Please avoid duplicate memorials. If
you enter one, it will eventually be deleted
by management, when they find it, or someone happens across it, and reports it. Many times I have come across a relative, only to find that someone else entered them already. The memorial with the LOWEST number will be kept, meaning that it was entered first. This can be avoided by searching that person first, or entering the very basic info., and searching that cemetery for them FIRST, before adding more information.
Sometimes the search function can act up a bit. Under some circumstances, management can merge different memorials, too.
_______________________________________________
Though I am pleased to be able to add more memorials as time goes by, it is not about the numbers for me. For those member that have worked especially hard, and have posted many, many memorials, I really appreciate their dedication. Of course they would not have the
time to include as many details as I do, if they had the information. I try to include as much detail as I have available, to honor that person's life. I also enjoy helping anyone researching that family line with their ancestry research.
We are making progress, one entry at a time.
I have really enjoyed being a part of this site, and hope to continue on for years to come. I hope that you enjoy this interesting activity, and family ancestry as much as I have.
And may God bless you and yours.

This is a memorial you will be interested to read:

MADISON - Grace E. Parragh, of Madison, formerly of Norridge, Ill., passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 2, 2013, at Four Winds Nursing Home, Verona.
She was born in McKeesport, Pa., on Nov. 18, 1918, to Zigmond and Amalia Pinkoczy who were of Hungarian descent. She was raised in Dearborn, Mich., graduating from Fordson High School and eventually graduating from the Detroit Conservatory of Music. Grace began studying at the age of 6 and eventually became accomplished in both piano and organ. As a young teen, she began playing the organ in her church when she was requested to play during the service when the church organist became ill. When it became obvious that she would be doing this regularly, she was motivated to learn the organ. During her study at the conservatory, she performed in concerts throughout the Detroit and Dearborn area. Her love of performing prompted her decision to become a performing artist. She auditioned and was accepted at the Julliard School of Music in New York where she continued her advanced music study and also began to study the harp.
It was in New York where she met her husband who was studying at Union Theological Seminary which conveniently happened to be directly across the street, at that time, from Julliard. She and Desmond D. Parragh were married for 63 years and worked side by side in Hungarian Reformed United Church of Christ Churches in Pennsylvania and the Chicago area where they remained for 50 years. She served as the choral director and organist during those years as a lifetime commitment. In addition, she served in various church organizations, taught piano and worked outside of the home in secretarial positions in the area. She was always willing to become involved in any Hungarian music related activities whenever asked and set up programs for performances within the Hungarian community.
She was preceded in death by her parents; seven siblings; and most recently, her husband, Desmond, in 2006. She is survived by her daughter, Grace (Warren) Nickel of Verona; three grandchildren, Adam (Kelly) Crandall of Janesville, Nathan (Michelle) Crandall of Milton, and Heather (Lee) Gwaltney of Virginia Beach, Va.; and 15 great-grandchildren.
A visitation will be held at 2 p.m. with a funeral service at 3 p.m. on Thursday, March 7, 2013, at CRESS FUNERAL HOME, 3610 Speedway Road, Madison, to be officiated by the Right Rev. Kolomon Ludwig, Bishop and the Rev. Nathan Crandall. Interment will be at Forest Hill Cemetery, Madison.

 | FAG Memorial for Mary Denise Lukacs
I just thought you'd like to know that there are two memorials that have been created for this individual. Your Find A Grave is 102773669. One of the Find A Grave contributors named Jim Ditton created # 102828648. Yours has her birth and death dates, whereas the other one does not. I mention this because she went by the name Denise to all of her friends in both elementary and high schools. My sister was her classmate at both Our Lady, Queen of Martyrs (OLQM) elementary and Marian High School. She graduated from the former in 1966 and high school in 1970. Perhaps an administrator at Find A Grave can merge these two memorials. Thanks!Added by Colete on Feb 16, 2013 4:48 PM | | | | [View all messages...] |
