Help!! Help!! Help!!

      This is the home for all 102 counties for the State of Illinois in which everyone has numerous ancestors buried in one or more cemeteries,  whether well cared for or not.  My main goal is to put as many online here for easy look-ups & reference for other people to enjoy, contribute, submit tombstone photos, information on persons buried in cemeteries, abandoned ones will be mostly on the endangered cemetery pages.  I also need to find the time to update said page.

      Beings there are 102 counties in the State of Illinois it is going to be a little hard for just little old me to make all these web pages but for now I'm trying to get tombstone photos from the counties online and to preserve them forever here my little space. If you would care to adopt a county email me which county you are interested in.  I can sure use the help in making web pages as they take time. any of them are up for adoption. I have some with online links with more of them to come in the foreseen future.

 One is actually adopted and online at this site and I would really like to Thank Elizabeth Davis for all the work she has been doing on Vermilion County, with the cemetery listings, her tombstone photo work is just great.  Visit her link below to see what a great job she has done and continues to do.

   Other online link which has been much work for me & also for Kathy Mills.  She typed, took tombstone photos last summer while living in Quincy, IL.  Now she lives in N. C. and doing this for N. C. in the county she lives in.  Sure miss her. I'm still going through tombstone photos I took last summer & fall while visiting my friend in Clayton & Kathy in Quincy and now a new trip I just took down to see Pat.  Pat is one of the people you will see with my daughter Kate, my now 4year old great-nephew in some of the tombstone photos. They are all a big help.-------- But if someone out there would like to adopt the Adams county site or co-host with me I would be most grateful-------and with more contributions from me as I visit there quite frequently feel free to email me and be sure to visit the link below.

January 28, 2008, I have taken the adopt me out of the county table below. It was just too much for me every time I looked at the page. If there is not a county page adjoining this Illinois Saving Graves County Cemetery listings page for the  102 counties in our State then I will eventually make one.

The counties I know for sure which are adopted are Stark & Peoria, by Karen Hammer hosted elsewhere, I do have a county page here with photos I've taken as a result of my growing up in Stark Co., IL., Vermillion Co., IL by Elizabeth

News!!! Karen Hammer who hosted Peoria  & Stark Co., IL AHGP sites and then helped with the IL Saving Graves info for those same counties has pulled her sites. I do not know why I was told by a mutual friend of a mutual friend!! Foxie!!!
 

==== Online here @ Illinois Saving Graves but still might need a host. Thanks for all your help!! Trying to get an online county page for each county and this is not an easy task to behold. But I will prevail. Then I expect to hear from fellow camera people out there who are traveling around the this great state of Illinois. Thanks so much every one. Will help we will surely fill out many many many pages filled with tombstone photos. May need to hire me a secretary.
