Hi Pat, That would be wonderful. I'd love any little bit of information. You never know what might help. I'm missing several members of this family and wonder if Peter owned more grave sites in that plot than the ones I am aware of. There's no rush.

One more idea -- it's be great to have an online transcript of Chapman's 1881 "History of Saginaw County, Michigan." Since I'm not near Saginaw, I can't help but so much, but I do have a chunk of photocopied pages from the Chapman book and could volunteer as a transcriber. Better yet, perhaps one of our listers has access to OCR software that could scan the pages and create a searchable index. If we could get the text online, it'd be great to then annotate them with folks' corrections and additions. Mary Richardson

Greetings Carolyn, I'm sorry to be so late with my wish to add to the list. I guess I was just waiting to see if someone else came up with this request. I know nothing about this cemetery so I don't know if it's big, small, private, public, denominational or whatever. I just know that my gg gf, gg gm, g gm and some of my g gf's siblings are buried in a family plot there. It's the Brady Hill Cemetery somewhere in Saginaw according to the information I have and they are all in Block 1, Lot 12. According to information I have been able to obtain so far my belief is that Peter W. Kinney was a man of considerable means at one stage of his life and I believe he was the purchaser of this family plot. I know who all of the following people are, but I am missing the burial places of several members of this family and don't know if they are in the other spaces in Lot 12 or not. Peter's probate records indicate that perpetual care was paid for at the time of his own burial in 1911, but I wouldn't have a clue how long that continues. I'd appreciate anything you can do on this one...or maybe explain if it can't be done for some reason. This is a wonderful project and I keep on checking, just in case it gets done.

I had a list of volunteers and what cemetery they were photographing. When I went to add Patrick to the list it wasn't there anymore. Evidently, the list disappeared when I had trouble with my computer before Christmas when they had to format my harddrive. I am adding a status report page to the site so you can see what cemeteries are being worked on. But I don't have my volunteer list anymore if you have volunteered please contact me so I can enter your name and the cemetery you are working on. If anyone else would like to volunteer please let me know. You don't have to do a whole cemetery. If you just want to do a few or a section that will work also. As you will see there are many many cemeteries to be done yet. If you know of a cemetery big or small that is not on the list please let me know so we can add it. Carolyn

The Saginaw News obit source is a great site. It has helped so many. I am so glad the people at the library have given us this site. The Saginaw County Clerks office has a site of marriage and death records online from 1995 forward. I found by doing a surname search on the mother or father of the deceased has helped find many relationships I didn't have before. I use this index to help find living people of my ancestors. I contact them and they are a wealth of information I didn't have before.

Wow, Australia! Now that is some distance from here! I happen to live just down the street from Brady, it is located on E.
