Posted on: Sangamon County, Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Sangamon/1793 Surname: DONNER ------------------------- In February 2000, the NSDAR accepted the service of George DONNER, Sr. as a Revolutionary War Patriot. George was the father of George & Jacob of Donner Party Fame. I have the obituary for George Sr. from the Sangamo Journel in 1844 but have never been able to locate his burial site nor that of his wife, Mary. My question is does anyone know the procedure to have a government headstone placed for a Revolutionary. I realize it would have to be a Cenotaph. Since many of the DONNER desendants are buried at Oak Hill in Springfiel I thought that would be a logical site. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello Listers - I'm looking for the inscriptions on two tombstones (or possibly more) in Oak Ridge Cemetery, Springfield, Sangamon County, Illinois for: SEIFERT, Peter (father) and SEIFERT, Adam (son) This is a father and son, who died on the same day, September 1895. There may be other SEIFERT Tombstones at Oak Ridge Cemetery. If so, I'd be interested in that information as well. Thank you for your help. - Denise

Wendy: There is a big cemetery by the school, but no idea if it is inventoried or not. Guess you could address your letter to Rochester Cemetery , Rochester, Ill. 62563 and see what happens,.

Dear Listers - Does anyone know if St. John's has changed it's policy and will now allow researchers access to the church records? I think some of the answers on my Stoeber family research are to be found in those records. Judy Germann

Please post any answers to the list. I'd like to know this also. Especially for 1884-1888. Thanks, Patty p.s. I've checked ancestry and they don't have this time period.

A very valuable place to look is your local Family History Center. They have a lot of the information that the main Family History Library in Salt Lake has, and films can be rented from the main library if they are not at the FHC. The address http://www.familysearch.org will carry what information the main library has. After you get to the page, click on the Family History Library link, then click on Family History Catalog. From there you can do a "Place search". I just checked it, and it has several directories for this time period.
