It's a wonderful site and very easy to use. You can post pictures of the people, grave stones and put in information about birth ect. It also has a great search engine that will look for married name plus maiden name. So if you know the maiden name for a woman, please include it. I got my copy from the Jackson Geneology Society which printed up a patch. If you give me a list of names, I'd be happy to check the index, although I have found that sometimes someone is mentioned in the book but missing from the index.

They are buried in the Chapel Hill Cemetary on the road from Jackson to Sandstone to Parma. The cemetary is on the north side of road about 1/2 mile west past the Dearing Road/ Michigan Ave (or whatever this road is called at this point) intersection. So it is another 5 or 6 miles to Parma from there I believe. Many of the other family connections are buried in the Dearing Cemetary. Thanks again. Where do you suggest I post pictures?
