Visited Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Milwaukee to pay my respects to a friend and also to find the grave of a WWII soldier I just finished researching for the War Memorial Center Honor Roll Project.

Gave a presentation today at Sacred Heart at Monastery Lake Senior Residence and although only a handful of residents attended, they seemed to enjoy learning about genealogy resources they have at their fingertips. I was even able to help one lady locate her grandparents' detailed obituaries and their final resting place. Looking forward to doing more such presentations!

Experts believed there was only one surviving ancient Indigenous mound in Milwaukee. Now, two rediscovered mounds bring that number to three.

In May, I visited Milwaukee's Union Cemetery looking for many of my relatives and mostly struck out. Recently, another Findagrave contributor located my Aunt Hermina's headstone (photo previously posted), and also the headstone of my Uncle Edward Mestyan, who died at only 3 months of age.

I visited Union Cemetery in Milwaukee (which is not in the best part of town), but I was on a mission to find my maternal grandparents' graves and others ... Mostly struck out on the others which are unfortunately lost to time.

I recently spent a few hours in Mount Peace Cemetery in Saint Cloud, FL. Met a man who was there on his daily visit to his wife's grave. They were married 64 years and she passed only 3 months ago. He showed me picture of her and said, "Isn't she beautiful?" ❤️
