Cousin Annie English from California sent this photograph from her trip this past summer. I translated the inscription. “S.P.” is very common on Polish tombstones. It literally means, “Swietej Pamieci,” “In Holy Memory.”

Here’s the translation:

Here rests S.P.

Somewhere along the line I’ll need to purchase genealogy software again.  I found Family Tree Maker from Ancestry.com for around $40.  I’m not purchasing yet.  Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

Okay, everyone, I have uploaded all the information I’ve had saved for years.  This information has not been updated for years, either.

I need your input to verify, and provide any additions to your families, check my dates for accuracy.

If you see question marks near someone’s name, that’s a person we need to identify in history.  Some of these names go way, way back.

Please register on the blog so I can make you authors.

Just weathered some horrible storms here in Chicago.  Lots of trees and big branches down around town!
