There is listed a John and Anne Costello with no birth or >death dates at........ Thanks very, very much! I knew Maple Park was very near Dekalb County, but apparently it's closer than I realized! I think you may very well have found my grandparent's graves, although it will take some more investigation to be sure. I do not recognize the Costello children (probably actually grandchildren) who are buried there, but it was a large family. I would appreciate it if you would make an "on site" inspection if you can find the time when you return to the DeKalb/Maple Park area. And if there are gravestones and you can take a picture or two I'd be happy to underwrite the cost (maybe one of the church as well, since it must be near). It's somewhat puzzling to me that the church's former pastor did not mention the existence of the cemetery. I think I'll write the present one and see what he can tell me. Again, my thanks.
