Brenda, Perhaps Doty/Sidwell couple were married in the city of Des Moines, Iowa (which is in Polk County) rather than in Des Moines county.

Tina, Thanks for your offer of look-ups of the selected cemeteries. Would you happen to have a listing for Thomas GRAVES. He was born in England (date unknown - maybe around late 1820's) and died in 1858 (?) in Des Moines County. I appreciate you looking for me.... Julie Guiles JGuiles101@aol.com
Dear Carolyn, I did not find WARE in these 4 books. In addition to sending a message to the list as I obtain each of the books, I am saving all the surnames for which I have received look-up requests and will automatically look for them as each book comes in. Good luck in your research :o) Tina > Hi Tina, > How nice of you! Would you see if there are any listed by the name of > WARE?

Hello I saw your post and noticed the name Haight also on it. Is this one of you lines from Des Moines Co also? I have a Haight line from there and have contact with a number of people researching this name. The majority descend from Cornelius Haight. My Haight line was from Philip Haight's daughter Eunice who married John Curtis Nott. Any connections?

Good afternoon, While researching my Drebenstedt ancestors, I've come across the following German Evangelical churches in the Burlington area: 1. St John's (est. 1852) - appears to be north of Burlington near Kingston 2. Zion of Latty (1853) - Latty 3. Zion in Burlington (1864) - downtown, 4. St Luke's (1877) - South and 14th Street, 5. St. Paul's (1885) - West Burlington 6. First (by 1850's) - downtown, one block from Zion in Burlington Zion in Burlington, St Luke's and First all became United Church of Christ (UCC) churches and are presently active congregations. Zion UCC and First UCC have had their old records microfilmed and these can be ordered through the Family History Libraries. Although not microfilmed, the St Luke's records have been transcribed and they will answer requests. Does anyone know the location of the records to St. John's, Zion of Latty and St Paul's? If you can offer more informaiton about the above churches for the list, please post. Sincerely, Tina McCain-McGarry list admin

First of all I apologise to any of you who are receiving duplicates of this email, I sent to every list that I belong to. I just wanted to pass this along, FYI: Hello, I live in St. Louis, Missouri and saw on the local news tonight that there is a BRIDGETON MEMORIAL PARK - 1843 - 1963 ( North St. Louis) that is looking for persons with family buried there. The airport is being expanded and they are going to move the CEMETERY. Is there a way to get this message to as many listers as possible in a short amount of time? Can you help!
