Could anyone on this list tell me if there are any other cemeteries in the Reynolds area that would be referred to as "Reynolds" cemetery - other than the main "Drury" Reynolds cemetery? I am trying to locate the grave sites of any Haefeles buried in the Rock Island area, and have information that states at least one - Alfred HAEFELE (and wife) - should be buried in "Reynolds" cemetery. There is supposedly a full listing on the Rock Island genweb site for Reynolds cemetery and I don't find any Haefeles listed there. Alfred's father - William Haefele - was my great grandfather's brother. According to information I have found, he was married to Annetta WAIT. I don't have information as to where either of these people were buried, but assume it may be where other Haefeles or Waits might have been buried? In the process of looking for William Haefele's burial place, I am also looking for the burial place of my great great grandfather Henry Haefele. Supposedly he left southern Indiana sometime in the 1860's(?) and, according to family history (Perry County IN), went to live with his daughter in Illinois. The family stories say he died in Rockford, but since I have not been able to trace his daughter (Christiana) or her husband (Peter Richard) there, I'm looking at the link to Rock Island - because of the similar name and William Haefele. I'm hoping Christiana and her husband went to live near one of her brothers (William being one) and this may eventually lead me to his burial site as well. Religion-wise, the earlier Haefele family members seem to have been Evangelical or Reformed. Supposedly, one of William's brothers became an Evangelical minister and the other a Methodist minister. My information for Alfred Haefele says that he and his wife were Methodist. Any help would be appreciated. thanks Jane jjpedesk@earthlink.net

Looking for information on the Gottsche and Geertz families from Moline. Alfred Gottsche is buried in Riverside Cemetery - if anyone has a listing of this I would appreciate the date his wife Bertha died - I have 1821 from another source and this has to be incorrect as they married in 1863. Could be 1871? His sister Mary Gottsche married Rudolph Geertz but I can find no record in the marriage listing - have tried several different spellings. Any help on these families would be appreciated. Pat

Hello, Seeking information re: Mary J. HATCH who married Wilson DWY in White Pigeon, St. Joseph Co, MI in 1856, lived in Appleton, WI where Wilson DWY died in 1879, and was in Moline, Rock Island Co, IL by 1892. Mary J.

I am going through my Belgian Grandparent's box of pictures, trying to identify more of them. Three of them appear to be marked "DeWitt" and some reference to them being related to "ma" (but he called his mother and his wife that, so I'm not sure which line - Van Eckhoutte or DeBlaere). I can just read the word Emily and also "Ofreze". The pictures are of one girl, then of two girls and one of three girls; all seem to possibly be DeWitt. I know in their death cards, there were cards for:Louis Frank DeWitte, Henry Edward DeWette, and Isidore DeWitte. My grandparents came from Belgium to Moline and stayed there for some time before removing to Wisconsin. Most of the families stayed in Moline. I am looking for help to a connection on this family; would love to be able to find out who the pictures are. Any help, please E-mail me VBasford@aol.com Thanks so much! Ginny in Florida
