Forgot the Tombstone Tuesday, So How About Tombstone Thursday?

Ochmann, Dziuk Kandzia and Ulfik graves in Koszecin, Poland, birthplace of my grandmother, and many of her ancestors, of which these are, of course, all relatives that have also passed on.

Tombstone Tuesday at Kirtland, Ohio

Again, I have been a little lazy in posting.  Actually busy is more like it.  I like posting the tombstones because for a while I was submitting cemeteries to the Utahgravestones.com site.  I did Highland and Alpine cemeteries and a good portion of American Fork.  However, my carpal tunnel got the best of me and time, as well, so I will call that my little contribution.  But a few more will get posted on my blog.

Another Tombstone Tuesday

It is Tuesday, isn't it?  Anyway, I was very lucky today to get a few pictures of stones from an ancestral parish in Jaryszow/Jarischau Poland.  This is the town for which I am working on reconstructing the church records because they were all lost in WWII.  A sad time in history that caused deaths and destruction to wonderful people, beautiful cities and artifacts of history that will not be replaced. 

I have a friend through the internet who is Christoph Sottor.  He has shared much information with me regarding Jaryszow and the villages which belong to the parish.  He has sent some photos from the cemetery. 

Here is the grave of Jan Sotor who died in 1999.  This is Christoph's father.

Here the grave of Marta Smieja who died in 1978.  This is Christoph's grandmother.

Here is the grave of Agnieska Sotor, his grandmother who died 29 May 1977.  Two days later, another woman with the same name passed away.

Here is an overview of the cemetery.  I was here once and totally "forgot" (how could I be so forgetful) to photograph the tombstones for my project.  I must have been tired???

Here are many graves which I will try to add to my Jaryszow project.
This was a nice thing to receive today.  Perfect timing for tombstone Tuesday!

Just Another Tombstone Tuesday

I almost forgot that I was going to post a few more stones from the past.  I just remembered and so here they are:

Here is a Photo of the gravesite of Jacob Hofheins in the Levan Cemetery.  A comment that I would like to make about the date:  It has Dec. 4, 1812 as his birthdate.  The German record in the birthplace of Rueppuhr in Baden Germany gives 14 Oct. 1812 as his birthday.  All the US records I have seen and family "tradition" have 4 Dec. as is seen above.  But the birth record disproves this.

Here is the grave of Elease and Clarence Hofheins, also in the same cemetery.  The little Hofheins peeking over the top, is Tyson.  He was quite a bit younger when this photo was taken.

Here is a picture of the Levan cemetery.

Here is a picture of the Panna Maria, Texas gravestone of Jan Dziuk.  One would think Tyson likes cemeteries?  Or is his mean gramma taking him to some "scary" places?  Actually, I want him to develop  a love for his ancestors and all the things they experienced so that he could have this nice life he has today.

Here is stone from the birthplace of my grandmother, Otillie Gralla.  The parish is in Koschentin, which is now Koszecin in Poland.  It is Florian Dziuk born 1920 and died 1981. 
So that is all for today!
