The Waukegan Historical Society has provided my with photos of the old Mt. Olivet Cemetery on Dugdale Road in Waukegan. Many of those interred at Mt. Olivet were relocated to St. Mary's Cemetery on Genesee in Waukegan. The photos are under the Waukegan Cemeteries Photo Album at http://communities.msn.com/genealogy2000 Mary ===== MY WEB PAGES: http://genealogy2002.tripod.com http://communities.msn.com/genealogy2000 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

For any of you, like myself, whose ancestors came from Borovnica, here is a web page with beautiful pictures of this city. This will also give you an idea of just how beautiful Slovenia is.

I'm looking for descendants of Johann/John Maligaj, born abt. 1885 in Globoko, died September 1957 in Pinellas County, Florida. He arrived in the USA, at the 5th of June 1910, with the ship "Cincinnati" from Cuxhaven, Germany.

connie, as far as i remember you have to make an appointment (just call them), because there are anly a few tables, copies were allowed to make but not anymore, i think you can bring a laptop, readability depends on the priests who wrote the books - from some parishes there are the originals (all) and from others just the copies (app. 1800 -) . when i went there it didn't cost anything to get access. regards, georg [email protected] wrote: > ATTACHMENT part 1 message/rfc822 SLOVENIA-D Digest Volume 02 : Issue 54 Today's Topics: #1 Archive in Maribor [[email protected] (Connie)] Administrivia: To unsubscribe from SLOVENIA-D, send a message to [email protected] that contains in the body of the message the command unsubscribe and no other text.

Which Slovenian first name is similar to John? Thank you for any help! Connie

I have had a tremendous response to the plight of St. Mary's. I am including a copy of this e-mail to the Waukegan Historical Society, Slovenian Women's Union and Slovenian Genealogy Society International, and Lake County Illinois Genealogy Society representatives who I correspond with. My intent today is to send an e-mail to the Archdiocese of Chicago and the Cemetery Commission about this plight. I compared photos I took last summer to photos I took the other day and there is a lot more damage from last year to this. This includes the hole in the fence. The first who should be responsible for the care of the cemetery should be these groups. I will keep you posted as to any response or feedback I get from them and then we can proceed from there. When I reported my grandfather's brother's buried stones to the office at Northshore Garden Of Memories, they repaired them at no charge. A lot of these people were desecrated once with their move from Olivet to St. Mary's and now it is happening again. The more I think about it the more upset I get. It was bad enough not being able to find the graves of my mom's brother and gr-gr-grandmother last summer, but now as I walked the cemetery more stones have been broken.

I have made my 3rd trip to St. Mary's Cemetery on Genesee in Waukegan Illinois. This historic cemetery is located on Sheridan Road. If you are at all familiar when you enter the main gate, on the left side of the drive, is the re-burial location of those moved from Olivet Cemetery. Last summer I made two trips there and found some vandalized monuments, many worn, covered by sod, mud and/or none at all. Yesterday I took another trip there and found the fence on that side has a big hole in it, more monuments have been vandalized since last year, and more stones either grown over by sod or covered with mud. Also many of the stone faces are wearing away. I am aware that the families of those interred here are either no longer alive or do not live in the area. My question is, how much more can we let this part of the cemetery deteriorate, our ancestors forgotten and desecrated, and a future where these same plots will be "resold" because the markers are gone and more "income" can be made. For me it was a very upsetting experience and what can be done to preserve this part of our history? I will be posting some photos that show just a minor part of the destruction there on my web page http://communities.msn.com/genealogy2000 Mary ===== MY WEB PAGES: http://genealogy2002.tripod.com http://communities.msn.com/genealogy2000 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

My Great Grandfather, John Sustersic, was born 27 Dec 1881 in V. Verhi 11, Parish Krka, Deanery Zuzemberk, Archbishopric (1900) Ljubljanska skofija, Austria. I am unable to find V. Verhi on a map. Does anyone know where around Zuzemberk/Dvor this village might be located. I know the name might have changed since 1881. Any suggestions? Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Cheryl Dawson

This one is for the Diocese of Maribor: [email protected] This address is for the Regional Maribor Archives: [email protected] Here's a site that has quite a few links to Slovenian Archives: http://www.pokarh-mb.si/home.html Regards, Patti

There is an email address for the Archives in Maribor. I will search for it and post it. I also used the Archives to search for my Slovenian relatives. I thought they were very reasonable. They have many indexes at their fingertips. Patti Lakeville, MI

It's $20 an hour. I authorized 5 hours and postage was $3, so my bill was $103.00. I thought this was a little steep when I first heard about it, but after trying to do it on my own, I think it's well worth while. They trust people and bill you when you receive the finished work.

Mike, how expensive was it to hire the archive to do this research?

Is there a website which provides form letters in Slovenian, to be used for writing to an archive? Thanks

Has anybody been to the diocesan archive of Maribor and can tell me about it? For example: If I first have to get an appointment before I can go there, or how much does it cost to have a look at the parish books, how is the quality of the documents, is it easy to read, can I bring my laptop, can I make copies and how much do they cost. Thank you in advance
