UNION CEMETERY
I am trying a new format out for cemetery information. The information on this cemetery is not based on just headstone inscriptions but rather by state database records found on line as well as personal obituaries saved by my grandmother Hazel SMITH Lane, obituaries exchanged with other researchers, the Illinois State Historic Library, Legacy of Kin 1&2, as well as Betty Beeson and Doris Bland books.
The TREE LINK will take you to another page that has the family history and further information.
Death Certificate numbers were found in the Illinois Statewide Database http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/GenealogyMWeb/idphdeathsrch.html
Although we have tried to be as accurate as possible in our research, mistakes happen, if you know of any corrections or additions to this family please contact me, thanks Laurie lselpien@msn.com
