However, I recommend to do a site search (see search box on HOME page)as there were at least two other message threads regarding KEMMIS - and the cemetery. One is under the topic LORRAIN CHURCH CEMETERY - http://www.tampicohistoricalsociety.citymax.com/board/board_topic/23882/306613.htm Another msg thread: MORE ON RICKEL http://www.tampicohistoricalsociety.citymax.com/board/board_topic/23882/307264.htm Another msg: RICKELL POST OFFICE & STORE http://www.tampicohistoricalsociety.citymax.com/board/board_topic/23882/352770.htm You should get about 9 entries if you do a search for KEMMIS. "Katminder" may be able to help you or direct you also.

John's webpage is: http://users.qconline.com/~kemmy/ He has some genealogy on it that may be useful to you Good luck! Kathy
