I have been researching my family histories and those of my husband since my sister got me interested eons ago in family history. My daughter, sister, and I research and exchange information as we find it. The three of us make quite the team walking cemeteries and visiting old archives and records. Some of the surnames I am researching are:
Meikamp, Schiefer, Spies, Bohmann, Daudermann, Graff, Friedhoff, Husso, Genczo, Mihalic, Wolbert, Kuiken, Reinink.
I would gladly exchange and share information to help you with your research and would love to have information in return.
Find a Grave is such a wonderful place to recognize our ancestors.

Kathryn,
Thanks for your help! The trouble with old church records is that the spellings are never the same from one entry to another.
I was just helping someone look up some information this evening, and the mother's name was recorded as Elisa, Elisabeth, Elise, Marthe, Martha and Marthargata on the church baptismal records for 6 of her children. All 6 children had the same mother, believe it or not!
I need to do some more research at Zion, but just haven't had the time lately. I hope to get working on it again later this spring. I've come to the conclusion that if you search hard enough, you will find that everybody buried at that cemetery is related to everybody else who is buried there, even if it does get pretty distant!
Do let me know if you find out any additional information that should be added to or changed on any of memorials. I want them to be as accurate as possible.

| RE: Tutken Tombstones
Kathryn,
I'm glad I was able to help you with the headstone photos at Zion. We searched the entire cemetery for Wilke's wife, Anna, but couldn't find a readable stone for her. There are several older markers near his that are impossible to read because of weathering, multiple coats of white paint, pieces missing, etc. I'm afraid hers may have been one of them. Maybe someone with access to the church burial records would be able to figure out which grave is hers.
I did want to ask you a question related to Anna Tuetken. My ties to the family are distant and by marriage only, so I am far from an expert.
I have a Catharine Deye at Zion (memorial #98100712) whose maiden name was Gellermann, according to the records I found. Since your Anna Tuetken's maiden name was Gettermann, I was wondering if the ll's in Catharine's name should have been tt's--perhaps someone forgot to cross them, and they were misinterpretted as l's. Would you happen to know if Anna had a sister named Catharine Deye (1843-1923)?
The only other Tuetken stones we were able to locate at Zion that have not already been photographed for Find A Grave, were for Johan H. and Maria. There are memorials without pictures on Find A Grave for both of them, but under the Tutken spelling. Didn't know if they were related to you or not, but I would assume most of the Tutken/Tuetkens at Zion have some sort of ties to each other.
Good luck in your search for Anna!

Hi Kathryn,
I'm currently working on relatives at Zion Lutheran Cemetery in Bethalto. I saw where you wrote that you would like a picture of Wilke Tuetken's stone.
If you will click on the button that says Request A Photo on Wilke Tuetken's Find A Grave memorial, I'll be happy to take a picture for you.

I hope so pleased that you are satisfied. It has been VERY hot in IN and I waited until late in the afternoon to photograph all the request for Santa Fe Cemetery. Being all by myself with so many monuments was daunting, but I was determined to get it done. | | | Denmother
 | RE: George Meikamp tombstone
You're welcome. We're glad we could help.
