My wife and I were in the area last evening and took a drive on W Miner Road. I then found Temperly Lane, a dead end, and as a result found the cemetery. It had been recently mowed and I will return with a camera to take the desired pictures. We had a Hilby reunion today and I had a nice chat with Joyce Berg. Her grandmother on her mothers side was a Heer and I believe she had contacted you. Where do you live? Are you related to the Heer strain from East Galena and Scales Mound area? After I look at my notes I may have a question or two for you. Again thanks for the offer. If I can help you in any way please let me know. Doug Hilby dhilbs@mchsi.com

I will look thru and see what I have in the way of pictures other than that I can probably help you figure out how to get there via the roads near it. I do know that W. Miner is accessible via another road. The cemetery is on a rocky road that leads to a private drive and is surrounded on all sides by private land. If you send me your email address I'll send you a couple pictures taken with a digital that may help you in your search. Jennifer Heer Norman jennifer@heer.com

There aren't many 1857 houses still standing in Freeport. However the Stephenson County Historical Society's museum at 1440 S. Carroll Ave. was built in 1857 by Oscar Taylor and was called "Bohemiana". It is several blocks from the old St. Francis Hospital (now closed). I'm sure the historical society, www.StephCoHS.org, e-mail Director@StephCoHS.org, could help you out, even if this is not the right house. Connie Fairchild

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Jg.2ADI/1357 Message Board Post: If you ever wanted a picture of any of the schools your ancestors attended, this may be your chance. I just added a page of over 2,000 images of various schools from all over the U.S. The page is hosted by www.family-images.com at <a href=http://www.family-images.com/contents.htm>WWW.Family-Images.Com</a> and just click on the Miscellaneous Schools Page. Please note that there is no real order to the listing so you will have to use the "Search and Find" Options of your browser or just plain or browse the listings to find schools of interest to you. I am looking for some volunteers to rename the images so I can better organize them but I have so many images to get online, I can't take the time to rename them all myself. I figure it is better to get the images online where people can find them. If you have something not listed or a better or different view of a school or anything else, feel free to share it with our visitors. I have tens of thousands of images to get online but am always happy to add anything you think the visitors might like. I have over 1,000 church images to add if I can ever get to scanning them all. I would also like some feedback on what genealogists want images of. For instance, what images would you like to add to your family history scrapbook? I assume anything relating to your ancestors, and the towns they lived in, but would you want to have an image of the school or church they attended? Are you looking for pictures of where they were employed, where they may have spent days off with the family like amusement parks, lakes, etc.? Do you want to see images of towns or buildings after disasters, etc. to see what the people had to overcome to get on with their lives? What kind of images are important to your family history scrapbooks? Maybe I will make up a poll and post it on the site to collect your responses. Please visit this collection and I hope you find something of interest. Feel free to spread this link around. Mike
