We went through Calvary Cemetery in Ahmeek (in the rain!) for quite some time this morning and could not find the grave. There was no one around to ask any questions nor a directory or any information. Does anyone know if there is someone in the vicinity who could help me? The grave is probably unmarked since we didn't find it but if I knew how it was laid out I might be able to get in the location. Thank you!!

WILX still has the poll open today asking: Do You Think The Department Of History, Arts, & Libraries Is Worth Saving? http://www.wilx.com/news/headlines/52541642.html Pat Hamp MIGenWeb http://www.migenweb.net

Hello Pat, Thank you for creating this new database for the Hecla Cemetery in Calumet. I do notice on the site you created for Keweenaw that the entries are for a grave inscription and photos. Most of the gravestones at Hecla are missing, thus all that we might be able to enter is information from the death record that a person was buried at Hecla Cemetery. This information has become more available with the publishing of the Seeking Michigan death records online. I have a number of people who were buried at Hecla but no gravestones exist. Will there be some way to add the information to your new web page even though we do not have information or photos from gravestones? Thank you for this special project you have started.

Hello Jeff and Rick, Actually, I like both of your ideas for helping with our "genealogical research" by having the Hecla Cemetery burials all in one place. I would be willing to take on the project and work at it during weekends. I am not sure how, or if, we could get permission to take the information from the HKCGS web page or the grave stone photos that Greg Skoviak and others have posted and then post the information on the Find a Grave web site. Both have restrictions listed on the use of their materials. For the time being, we might just need to check all the available web pages for information for our "genealogical research" regarding those who are buried in the Hecla Cemetery. Thanks for your interest and your suggestions.

My father, Eino William Pollari was born in Chisholm, MN on March 6, 1912 to Jacob and Ida Pollari. I don't think the family lived in Michigan prior to Chisholm, but it is possible.
