Sample for Cemeteries

Illinois cemetery records often identify birth, death, relationship, and military information, as well as religious affiliation.


 * Find A Grave can be searched by the name of a person or family to find where a person is buried. Usually gives birth and death dates often with a picture of the tombstone. May give obituaries, names of family members and links to their information in Find A Grave.
 * Find A Grave also gives a list of cemeteries in McHenry County and links to the information for the individuals buried there.
 * McHenry Co. IL USGenWeb Tombstone Project usually gives the names of the deceased in alphabetical order by last name with birth and death dates plus any remarks.
 * Illinois Cemeteries by county.
 * The Family History Library Catalog lists . (Click on the title (underlined in blue) to see details.) Some of the books or others may be on Google Books or available at public libraries.
 * ePodunk list of McHenry County cemeteries gives the names of the cemeteries in the county with a link to more information such as address, phone number, and web site.

Edit summaries
Hi Wilma. Got a favor to ask of you. Going forward, will you please add edit summaries to your edits? This'll save me time from having to compare revisions each time I'm working on a page you're also working on. Thanks! RitcheyMT 05:24, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Edit Problems
Your changes this afternoon to https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Projects_Seeking_Contributors caused the border to be deleted on the United States table. When you made that change were you doing the edit in just that section or did you use the edit button for th whole page? Knowing which way you did the edit may help us understand the cause of the change. Darris G. Williams 21:08, 12 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Darris. All I did was add Utah to the table. I'll admit I was tempted to change the table a bit, but did not. I usually do only the specific section when I edit. Looking at it again, I am certain it was in the specific area where the edits were made.AdkinsWH 15:25, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Editing in the "section only" opens up a can of worms due to some problems with the FCK editor. It does not see some codes that it expects, then adds them in automatically when you save the work you are doing in that section. If the code existed in the preceding or following section then the page as a whole gets jumbled up. Fran has suggested that the section editing capability be turned off until the FCK editor is fixed but engineering has not moved on either request. It is possible, I think, to turn the section editing off in your preferences or just edit the whole page as a standard practice. We don't know that the disappearing table border is due to editing in the section only and will be reporting this problem for the Support Team to investigate. Darris G.
