Hi, Thanks to Doris Brozak and Nancy at the reference desk of the Lake County Library I have found the obituaries of my ancestors, Ernest and Margaret KING. In the obit for Ernest KING it states that burial service was at Anderson Funeral Home. Is it still in business? Also, the officiating pastor was Rev. J. M. Johnson. Anybody know what church he was affiliated with? Secondly, Margaret KING's rosary service was held at Bitner-Peek Chapel. Is this funeral home in existence today? Thanks for all the help I've gotten. Ernestine Wark, NJ

Our hobby is genealogy, we collect ancestors. Bill

Thanks to everyone for the info on the marriage certificates! Happy Thanksgiving to all. cheryl BALOG wenberg REALLY looking for FUZY or FUZI in Lake County. (thought I'd throw that in)

Here's a little reminder, for if you're going to change your email address: Before it changes, if at all possible, using the email address you're about to stop using, send the word Unsubscribe to: [email protected] When you get your NEW email address, from THAT email box, send the word Subscribe to: [email protected] That's the robot that sub's and unsub's email addresses from the list. It's not REAL smart....it only knows how to read EXACT email addresses that are sending messages to it, and the words subscribe and unsubscribe. It does not know "Please subscribe me under [email protected]" You actually have to sub from the address that you want the mail sent to. I've been getting a lot of Return Mail from people getting rid of their old email addresses....every time a post is sent to the list I get 2-3 Bounces, so it could be people who changed address and are out there somewhere wondering where their Lake Co email went. Kathy PS. As for those of you using @msn.com @mail.msn.com @home.msn.com I don't know how those email addresses are being read, I really don't get some of the things msn does...You're on your own....sorry :)

Sent to me by Ken Curtis <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A> I thought it was rather neat and should be passed on to all of you. I've often wondered why I got the "genealogy bug" and no one else in my family seems to care as much ...they look at me blankly as I, off the top of my head, run down the family tree from the 1700s to present to explain how we're related to some guy in California that I met on the net. LOL Happy Thanksgiving all....and thank you for another year of sharing your Lake Co genealogy with everyone on the list. Kathy -Your Listress THE GENEALOGY ANGEL by Patty Whitney Gravois It happens suddenly, without warning.You are going about your own business when-----BAM!!------your life is changed forever. You are no longer able to resist the strong desire to do something you have never really thought about doing before. You suddenly want to spend all of your time with books, computers, newspapers, old photographs, and lots and lots of dead people. You start to enjoy going to old courthouses and cemeteries. What has happened to you? Are you crazy? How can your life be changed so drastically so suddenly? Well, you are not really crazy, although some people might think so. You have just been selected to be the "THE FAMILY HISTORIAN." It has become my personal philosophy that there is a genealogy angel out there whose sole job is to select one person (or maybe two) to be in charge of protecting and recording each family's history. It seems that God finds family groups to be very important. After all, a lot of the first part of the Bible deals with who begat whom. (Begat sort of means "Who's yo' mama?"--or thereabouts). Adam and Eve are going to be the only people in Paradise who don't have a belly button. Everyone else was begat by someone. Keeping track of who begat whom was probably not a problem at first. Families sort of stuck together. As the world's population grew and families kept expanding, someone had to keep a record of who belonged with what family. St. Peter probably started keeping records because no one on Earth knew how to read or write yet. Oral histories were passed on and people kept pretty good track of their families' oral histories because there was nothing else to do at night and in the rain and snow but talk about the family. Gradually, though, the world continued to expand. Writing was invented, and then reading was invented so people could understand the writing. Some people wrote down who was their family, but others didn't see the point. As people moved around a lot, sometimes families were separated and family histories were lost. Not everyone knew how to read and write. Oral histories were lost. For hundreds of years family histories were lost when the grim reaper claimed those who held the lore in their heads. Then, I think, St. Peter decided to do something about the shameless lack of respect for roots and family history. Each family was to have someone who would become totally focused on capturing and recording the begats of each family. These Family Historians would have the job not only of collecting the present day family into groups and recording their histories, but also of trying to undo some of the neglect of the past. So, don't be surprised if one day you are minding your own business and you suddenly feel a tap on the shoulderbut when you look around there is no one there. It is simply the genealogy angel tapping you on the back to say, "You're it." From that day forward you won't be able to help yourself. You are going to have to take on the very important job of Family Historian. Do it well.

If youre looking for census enumeration districts for the 1930 census, this works for most big cities. http://home.pacbell.net/spmorse/census/ <A HREF="http://home.pacbell.net/spmorse/census/">Obtaining EDs for the 1930 Census in One Step</A> For Lake County I only see East Chicago, Gary and Hammond...but those are large cities which would be hard to search without the ED numbers.

My parents were married in Gary in 1940. I obtained a copy of intent to marry and marriage certificate from the Gary Board of Health. Bill

List, Is there any way to obtain copies of Marriage Certificates prior to 1958. Indiana Vital records state that they only have records back to 1958. Any information would be appreciated. cheryl BALOG wenberg

Hi, After looking for a long time for Ernest GIESEKING I've now determined that he went by the name of Ernest KING, according to the 1930 census. Because of information I had from a cousin, I called Ridgelawn Cemetery today and found Ernest KING along with his wife, Margaret. Would it be possible to get more information or, perhaps, photos of the tombstones? The cemetery only has the dates of burial. I would be most happy to pay any expenses incurred. Thanks to all who helped me with this search. Ernestine Wark, NJ

I'm sorry I am unable to help with the Congregational Church. I did find: Marriages: Indiana BRZOZWSKA, M. married S. BECZKOWAKI Oct. 17, 1914 Lake County Book X page 220 fiche 4035 Found under the name of: BRZOZWSKA, Maryia married Stanis BECZKOWSKI, Stanis same date of marriage as the above. Spellings were really off when they transcribed these records.

Dear List, I have tried without success to find out what happened to the Congregational Church in Hammond. The Hammond Public Library doesn't know. I have a Rev. John M. Sutherland who was a minister at that church ca. 1895. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Kirsten Fabritius-Brzozowska Delta, BC. Canada
