I'm in California, so it's too far for me to come. I'd be happy to reimburse any cost (reasonably!). I noticed you are also asking for copies of census records. I'd be happy to provide you with copies I've found for them in 1900 in Morris Co., as well as copies of some photos of them, in exchange for the effort on the tombstones. Secondly, do you know if they have any living descendants still in Morris Co? ------------------------------------------ KICKHAEFER Yvonne Stoppel (ckanopolis@cebridge.net) 18 April 2006 Does anyone know the marriage date of Roy KICKHAEFER & Norma (GRIEP) KICKHAEFER? ------------------------------------------ WHITAKER Joan Bridge (jb767850@tadaust.org.au) 12 April 2006 Searching for William WHITAKER in Familysearch.org, (an ancestor of my husband) I found only one entry which actually was the correct one, but there followed a List of Pensioners 1883 on the Role of 'Mildred' Morris County KS contributed by Carole Sklenar Oct 1997. One of these was a William WHITAKER , Certificate number 110,846. Reason for asking? He had Acute Rheumatism. As we are having some difficulty in finding William our Ancestor who was a Victualler owning a pub in Mill Lane, Tooley Street, Southwark, London, England in 1811. We wondered if he might have emigrated to the USA. or at least be a relative of our WHITAKER people. Could you be kind enough to check that out for us? ------------------------------------------ FORESMAN...BURTON...BAKER MOORE...INGHRAM...REEVES Dixie Shaffer (dshaffer1@hot.rr.com) 24 March 2006 Does anyone know where I might reach the daughter or granddaughter of Carl & Mildred FORESMAN?
