Randy - I recently requested and received information from Rosedale Memorial Park. I sent them a stamped self-addressed envelope and a note with my great grandmother & grandfathers names I was looking for. There was no cost involved. Within a week or two I received a photo copy of the plot application sheet (which surprisingly contained my great grandfather's signature), as well as a photocopy of where the plots were located. I don't know how far back their records go. It's located on the east side of Standale/Walker at: 0-50 Lake Michigan Dr. N.W., Walker, Mich 49544 (616)453-2411 Good luck.

I have recently received a box of old photos of my family who lived in Kent Co. and surrounding areas since the mid 1800s. There were several pictures dated 1919 of my family at Sunnybrook Farm. The people in the photos are all identified and there are several of a woman named Rebecca. I don't have a Rebecca in my line. Here is my question. Was there an actual Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm? I always thought it was fiction. Is it located in Michigan ? Thanks for any geographical or literary assistance. Randy

I am seeking information about relatives who may be buried in Rosedale Memorial Park. Does anyone know anything about this cemetery or if they keep records pre-1900? Thanks for any direction. Randy
