Hi Carolyn, It is so kind of you to put this question out! I was wondering if it is possible to include the tombstone info with the picture. I've found it is hard to read the inscription on older stones in the photos. Happy New Year! Pat

Nancy, Were Aaron's siblings older or younger than he? Perhaps by searching for their births you could find the names of Aaron's parents. Mary Sue

He's not - the census was taken June 21 in 1860. Thanks.

Thanks Carolyn - yes, I have the pictures of his headstone and many of the other Jones and Hickmott relatives from Taymouth Cemetery (a lot of my family is buried there).

Thanks - whenever I've been to the county clerk's office, they haven't been real helpful, but I'll try again.

I am trying to find information on the parents of Aaron Jones who was born in Saginaw Michigan on June 25, 1860. Unfortunately, Michigan did not keep bmd records until 1867. I know his birth date from his obituary and from marriage records (neither of which mention his parents). He married on February 7, 1886 in Taymouth Township, Saginaw County to Margaret Lawhead. Aaron died on June 8, 1933 in Taymouth Township, Saginaw County Michigan. According to his obituary, he had a brother Frank Jones and a sister Mrs. Elizabeth Showers both of Saginaw, Michigan. He also had a daughter - Mrs. Elmer Knight of Jackson Michigan - unfortunately, this is all that I know for sure of her. I am also seeking descendants of this daughter. I have been able to definitively find Aaron Jones in the 1910, 1920 and 1930 census information for Saginaw County - this is after he's married with a family. Unfortunately, I haven't found him definitively yet prior to 1910 in the Census, but I have no reason to believe he was anyplace other than Saginaw County (his obituary confirms my theory stating he had lived more than 50 of his 72 years in Taymouth Township). Aaron and Margaret's other children include: Jessie (married Jasper Roy Snider), Rhonda (who married a man with the last name of Reikowsky), Roy R. (married Gladys Neeley), Ola May (possibly married Elmer Knight, but unknown for sure), Archie (married Beatrice Marsh), Herbert (married Gladys Neeley), Oscar E (married Margaret Zirkle), Thurlo E.

Saginaw County is generally an easier county to research than other counties, but I agree with Tom Stark of Naples, FL. I would like more birth, marriage and death indexes available to search online. City directories would be nice also. Linda Whittier, CA --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now

Hi Nancy Did you get a pic of his headstone at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~evansandobertein/photographs/taymouth/taymouthtwpcem/B/Slide398.JPG There are also other Jones buried there.

Thanks, Fran

I would like to see Mt. Olivet photographed. Also if someone was Catholic and died about 1903 where would they be buried before Mt. Olivet since it was established in 1910? Thanks Fran

I really appreciate all the hard work done by all, but whenever I try to pull up my family I always get "Cannot find that page". I'm checking on McCrory, Brownell, Whipple, Brink, etc. mostly in the St. Charles area.

Hi Fran, Some of Mt Olivet has been photographed. We photographed the oldest sections there first and I am in the process of putting what has been photographed at Mt. Olivet next. Before Mt. Olivet there was Calvary Cemetery which all lthe photos are on the site under Saginaw. St. Andrews Cemetery may also be a cemetery for you to look. St. Andrews has not been photographed yet.
