Since it helps me get caught up quicker, I am going to make this weeks post really easy on me. I am just going to list all the surnames that I have proven for my lines so far.

The names below are for my husband’s lines.

If you have any of these surnames, feel free to send me a message. Always looking to make new connections and meet new family members!

On 15 June 2012, my husband and I decided to take our children on a road trip to see his Aunt in Minnesota. Most of his maternal lines were from Minnesota so he reluctantly let me plan our trip so that we could stop at some of the cemeteries along the way.

We learned alot about what we should bring with us, that of course, we did not bring with us on this trip. Next time I’ll definitely be better prepared!

One of the cemeteries we stopped at is known by several names, Mau Memorial Cemetery, St. John’s Lutheran Cemetery (old section), and Norwood-Young America City Cemetery.

At this cemetery I only found one of the 5 headstones I was looking for. Since then, other people have found and taken photos of the other four I didn’t find.
