Elizabeth Graf replied to Elizabeth Graf's discussion records in the group Philadelphia Roots"Kate,
I have not been able to find the death records for any of them. None are in the Social Security death index. According to what my father found written down from his parents, Catherine died March 17, 1965. He is not sure if she died in…"
Elizabeth Graf replied to Elizabeth Graf's discussion records in the group Philadelphia Roots"Paula,
Thanks for the information.
I have searched the above records at family search and have had luck finding the marriage records through the index. They have not shed any light on who the parents of the Ford siblings are. I have also searched…"
Kate Steere replied to Elizabeth Graf's discussion records in the group Philadelphia Roots"Have you found death records for Catherine and her siblings? That would be the best record to locate parents names- you might also try baptism records in Ireland if they exist-"

records
What records are available for Philadelphia from the 1884-1900 time period? I am trying to discover who my g-grandmothers (Catherine Ford or 'Kate", "Katie") parents were. Or at least where my g-grandmother and her siblings were living in that time period. The siblings immigrated from Ireland in 1884 to Philadelphia on the Lord Gough. The passengers are in alphabetical order and there are no adult Fords listed with them. The siblings are listed as Bridget 16, Kate 14, Patrick. 11, and Martin 8.…See More

Elizabeth Graf replied to Elizabeth Graf's discussion broken gravestone in the group FindAGrave Addicts"Thank you for all the great suggestions! I didn't even think about the Boy Scouts! I am going to contact the historical society first and see what they think. At least I have a picture of it!
Thanks again

Donna LaVonne Senff-Mata replied to Elizabeth Graf's discussion broken gravestone in the group FindAGrave Addicts"I hope these come out clear. They are pics. of broken headstones in the German Methodist Cemetery in Hay Creek, MN where my Great, Great Grandparents are buried.

Rebecca Poertner replied to Elizabeth Graf's discussion broken gravestone in the group FindAGrave Addicts"Elizabeth,
I basically just went through the same thing. I found my ggg uncle and aunt's marker in Illinois, and I live in Missouri. The stone was knocked off it's base, unbroken (thank goodness!) and the base was deteriorating enough to…"
Joyce Garrott replied to Elizabeth Graf's discussion broken gravestone in the group FindAGrave Addicts"Elizabeth, I don't know what they have around Lancaster PA, but we have a cemetery group here that goes to old cemeteries and clean and fixes MINOR issues with stones. Other than that you might try the historial society or genealogical society…"

broken gravestone
Maybe someone can help me out. My gg grandfather's gravestone is knocked over and cracked in half in the Lancaster Cemetery in Lancaster PA . I posted a photo request on "Find a grave" and the photographer who filled the request found it on the ground. It looks like it has been there for a while. He was kind enough to talk to someone he knows at the cemetery to see what could be done about it. He was told that the cemetery does not have enough money in the endowment fund to repair and reset…See More
