I believe that every time someone passes away, we lose something that can't be replaced.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE researching family history. I enjoy walking in cemeteries, reading stones & figuring out their stories. It's all like a puzzle to me. If I can't figure something out the direct route, I will research alternate routes until I find the information I'm looking for.

I am interested in the following names: Adams, Burrell, DeBoer, Dieckman, Eertmoed, Ertmoed, Everwein, Fancher, Janssen, LandiVittori, Poe, Rawlings, Rutledge, Sparks, Tyler, VanMeter, VanScyoc, Vittori, Weber, Whitman.

NOTE: In Tazewell Co IL, Lakeside & Oakgrove are 2 individual cemeteries with no clear disctinction of where Oakgrove begins & Lakeside ends. There is bound to be error & confusion because of this. Just by looking at the 2, you wouldn't know there are 2 different cemeteries. There is no signage, to my knowledge, for Oakgrove.
