Who is Joseph Wiley? Love simply,generously & deeply

Could someone tell me if there is a web site to order divorce papers? I did this several months ago and also printed the form to do this but I have lost it. Please help! Bev

Does anyone know of the Eden Cemetery outside of Louisville and directions to it. I will be visiting Kentucky in two weeks and my hope is to locate this cemetery where my 6th gr grandfather, Rev John Hall is buried. Best Regards, Gale Lee Payne

Does anyone have any KY Marriage records that could do a lookup for a marriage between Joseph Wiley and Eliza (Elizabeth?) Unknown that would have taken place abt 1857? I don't know what county they were married in, but their child was born 1858 in Jefferson County. Thank you, Sandi Whitty

THOMPSON CEM. Located on Brownsboro Road east of Mockingbird Valley Road, on the left side of road, but west of Chenoweth Lane. Source: _http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyjeffer/cems/thompsongraveyard.html_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyjeffer/cems/thompsongraveyard.html) It appears from the listings this Cem. was last used in year 1907, One Hundred years ago. The persons who found and donated this listing should be congratulated. When County Government employees and researchers could not find such information in their old journals or on microfilms, this is a great asset now available to genealogists in 2006. Great work for posting this valuable information to genealogy. JOHN in CA (former Louisville Resident)

We are loooking for Reisinger, Branner/Brunner, Fulmer/Volmer, Geiger, and Hinkle. I see there is also a Reisinger cemetery and I would be interested in the Day cemetery names also. Some of these families have numerous spellings as evey researcher has experienced. Thanks for any help.

Dear Walker, Thank you for that information. Having spent a lot of time at St. Andrew's and Church of the Advent in Louisville, I failed to see the connection between the Hospital and the Seminary. Although my dear departed best friend was once exec.vp of the SBT Seminary, he never mentioned any connection, either.

I went to the Middletown museum Wed and they had never heard of a listing of burials for Long Run. They gave a name and phone # for someone who might be more informative but I yet to call. Middletown library has nothing on any local family. The Museum was very nice but it had an un-indexed book about Middletown. The library did not have that; all other genealogy material is in the Louisville Free Public Library. I will keep looking and calling to find out more. Dottie

Hello fellow listers :-) I'm sure there are persons on the list that will be able to advise me on my question. I am getting ready to order some Civil war records on a relative. This relative died while serving and was not married. Should I also look for a pension record even though he wasn't married? I was told that it may of been possible that his father would of applied for the pension. Thanks! Debbie

Deborah, Thank you so much for the links and phone numbers. I haven't known who to contact before. I did write a letter to a synagogue years ago, but with no results. I will try the cemetery angle.

George is mentioned in the Cave Hill Cemetery book on page 26. Here is what the paragraph says: George Washington Norton (1815-1889), established the Southern Bank in his native Russelville then moved to Louisville in 1866, starting the banking house that bore his name and investing in western land. He supported the Baptist Theological Seminary, and was considered the richest man in Kentucky when he died. Section P, lots 188-189. Listed also as being on the Board of Directors of Cave Hill Investment Company are George W. Norton 1910-1924. He is also on the Board of Managers of Cave Hill Cemetery Company 1902-1924. George W. Norton, Jr. is listed on the directors board from 1948-1964 and the managers board from 1902-1924. I don't know if these two might be possible descendants. Penny

If you contact the cemetery by phone, they will take a photo for you at no charge. Their phone number is (502) 451-5630. You can e-mail them also from their website. Penny

Names of my relatives appear to have changed more after coming to America than earlier. HEHEMANN is also spelled HEHMAN HEYMAN HEHEMAN HEMAN The ADCOCK is sometimes spelled ADCOX.

Judy, Herman Landau (note there is no "r" at end) wrote "Adath Louisville: The Story of a Jewish Community," which was published in 1981. Much of his research collections are housed at the University of Louisville Archives. The Herman Landau Papers and an interview of a Jacob Landau by Zera Lipetz are also part of the U of L Archives collections. Landau is pronounced Lan-dow and I wonder if Landauer isn't a variant spelling. You may want to check what is available about the Jewish communities in Louisville in the U of L archives by going to: www.louisville.edu/library/uarc The Louisville Free Public Library (Main) has a clipping file pertaining to Jewish families. www.lfpl.org There are also manuscripts and other materials relating to Jewish families in the Louisville area at The Filson Historical Society - www.filsonhistorical.org You may want to contact The Temple (Brith Sholom-Adath Israel) office at 502-423-1818 and inquire as to burials in its cemetery. The Temple is a merged congregation.
