But I removed their links back to the Ukraine. http://ancestrystuff.chachich.com/?p=7#comment-7 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:25:12 +0000 http://ancestrystuff.chachich.com/?p=7#comment-7 I absolutely love your website.. Pleasant colors & theme. Did you develop this website yourself? Please reply back as I’m looking to create my own personal blog and would love to learn where you got this from or what the theme is called. Cheers! http://ancestrystuff.chachich.com/?p=7#comment-6 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 01:54:36 +0000 http://ancestrystuff.chachich.com/?p=7#comment-6 This site truly has all the information I needed concerning this subject and didn’t know who to ask. http://ancestrystuff.chachich.com/?p=13#comment-5 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 03:17:41 +0000 http://ancestrystuff.chachich.com/?p=13#comment-5 Nataliya, thanks a lot for your confirmation. I'll try to head out there some day. http://ancestrystuff.chachich.com/?p=13#comment-4 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 13:35:16 +0000 http://ancestrystuff.chachich.com/?p=13#comment-4 I'm about 99% sure this is St. Joseph's Shrine in Irish Hills. They have the Stations of the Cross that go behind the Shrine along by the water with similar sculptures as above. The grounds where the cemetery is (looking east) looks almost identical to the 2nd picture you posted (except there are a lot of gravestones!) And in the 1st picture there is a wishing well in the foreground, and they had one of those as I remember seeing it when I was a kid. (I'm not sure if it still is there today) Hope this helps. You should trek on over there and check it out! http://ancestrystuff.chachich.com/?p=1#comment-3 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 21:03:35 +0000 http://ancestrystuff.chachich.com/?p=1#comment-3 TK, great advice. I will do something like that soon. Nancy, good idea. Thanks for the idea. http://ancestrystuff.chachich.com/?p=1#comment-2 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 18:02:30 +0000 http://ancestrystuff.chachich.com/?p=1#comment-2 Hi, Mike. I think it's wonderful that you're sharing these photos to help others. Maybe you would like to join GeneaBloggers (at geneabloggers.com) so that more people will know about your blog and the photos you're posting? http://ancestrystuff.chachich.com/?p=1#comment-1 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 16:42:48 +0000 http://ancestrystuff.chachich.com/?p=1#comment-1 You might have to be patient, Mike, but sooner or later someone will be searching. I posted several old photos around 2007 (some that I wanted to give away because they are not of my family members), and this year I was contacted about two of them. One was a woman in England, the other only an hour or so from where I live. I now have two new friends! Two tips: 1) I added a tab to my blog labelled Contact and used http://kontactr.com/ to give people a way to contact me privately so I can respond without their having to post their email address in a comment. You don't really want to publish your email on your blog either, so Kontactr is a good way to be able to have a dialogue with someone without putting your email address out there for spammers. 2) If you know anything uniquely Google-worthy about the person in the photo, you might mention it in your post. For example, one of the readers who contacted me had searched on the name of a theater her ancestor had worked at a hundred years ago. I had mentioned it in my post, and that's how she found me. By the way, I have Detroit ancestors. Looking forward to your future posts! http://kontactr.com/ to give people a way to contact me privately so I can respond without their having to post their email address in a comment.
