As you can see, part of the problem of finding information on Michael's parents is the widely varying spellings of their names. Frustrating sometimes, but not unexpected. Research success seems sweeter when our challenges are overcome through persistance. I'll try another search of the cemeteries with the latest spellings you provided. Thanks again.
