ever happened for Arizona Genealogy.

Hi Della, I am the requestor on the ARAIZA surname of Pinal Co.. I have, very
recently, started research on this name and afraid I have very little
information on them at this point.. I am not familar with your names but will
be happy to share what I know of this family. Have been unable, at this
point in my research, to determine what year they immigrated to the AZ Terr.
from the Hermosillo-Guaymas, Sonora area. My guess at this point would be
abt.1880 but this is only a guess. Members of this fam

This is an AZ mail list for ALL cemeteries in the state and not just Pinal
Co. It is a mail list for anyone searching any cemetery in the state. It
is a mail list to post queries and to obtain help from any volunteers that
may be in or out of the state but who may be able to help.
Your cemetery is not in Pinal Co. but in Maricopa Co. and we need to find
someone who can search for you in Maricopa Co.
If you wish to be removed from this mail list please send a message to:

You may be able to obtain a death certificate (not certified)from the DLAPR
(Arizona Department of Library, Archives & Public Records - History &
Archives Division) in Phoenix which may give you the name of the mortuary
which handled the arrangement and possibly the name of the cemetery in which
he was buried.
Many people I know has had very good luck with them (death records - birth
records - newspaper articles, etc.) I just happen not to be one of those -

Spring is here! Want to help with the Tombstone Transcription Project but
not sure how? Here are 10 ways:
1. Walk and record (transcribe) a cemetery that isn't available on-line
yet.
2. Update a cemetery listing that is on-line, but that was done many years
ago. (There are LOTS of these to choose from!)
3. Become a look-up volunteer for a cemetery near your home.
Don't want to do it alone?
4. Organize a scout troop, your card club, or other group organization to
transcribe a cemetery as a group proj
Vynette,
Thanks for the reminder - I will check out all of them when I go up in a
couple or three weeks, might even find other families members (Gamez -
Ronquillo - Bonilla(s)) I am searching , there also.
Thanks for your help.

Gail, from what you wrote below, I think this email might be for me, Della
Romandia. Are you telling me that the Mesa Cemetery is not in Pinal Co. but
in Maricopa Co.? I believe I already knew that but I was also wondering if
there was some way of checking a book or list ( for the Florence, Pinal Co.
cemetery) to review and check to see if any Romandia's are buried there. In
your email message you stated: we need to find someone who can search for
you in Maricopa Co. Does this mean that you will look for

Just me again,
Can I get a list of volunteers and what cemeteries you can volunteer for?
I have added a page to the web site for volunteers and what they can do.

In the books, Arizona Death Records, Vol 1-3, published by the Arizona State
Genealogical Society in 1976, there is no cemetery in Cochise Co. listed
under the name of "Sunset". There is one called "Willcox cemetery". That has
been formatted into a database. Please let me know which names you are
looking for and I will see if they are on that cemetery record. (The records
are all before the mid-1970's)
I hope that I can be of help.
Vynette Sage
Tess, I think I have the cemeteries listed on the web page for Mammoth in
Pinal Co. But that is about all that I can do for you at this time... Will
be working on Pinal Co. but it will take time... gonna recruit some
help..;-)

Gail, About 4 years ago I was able to drive to Florence, AZ (husband had
a softball tournament in Phoenix) and found a Catholic church and I was told
they no longer had any records there because all records were sent to Casa
Grande. I then went to the City Hall (county recorder's office) and I was
allowed to view these giant books that listed marriages. I found a posted
record for (our grandfather) Francisco L. & Francisca Santa Cruz (maiden
name-Vistero/Ballestero)on page 108 in 10-21-1881 ?? (but a re
Hi Kristi and all...
I guess my question is... it is called the Tombstone Project.. the
Japanese were cremated so how would you put this into the Tombstone Project?
Also, going thru these records many were shipped out to other cemeteries but
their deaths are recorded here... you can't put that on the Tombstone page.
What about all the graves that I located that do not have tombstones?
I have this info and wondering where I am going to put it...
The Weaver Cemetery is locked and I have to find the fam
I am trying to find death dates for Gil & Josefa ARAIZA who died in Mammoth,
Pinal Co., between 1905-1910 on the same date. Does any one know what the
cemetery/cemeteries would be there & where they are located? Also, any idea
what newspaper would have covered this area during this time period - if any?
Thanks,
Tess
I don't know if it will help, however there is a LDS microfiche collection
#6118797 of Arizona newspaper obituary index, 1862-1997.
It might we worth checking.

Hi,
I tentatively started a new web page for the AZ-CEMETERIES and you can go in
and take a look and I am open for any suggestions or ideas but I thought
that it might be a way of posting requests for look-ups and also a place if
you have found a grave to post it. As I said, I am open for any and all
suggestions and I still have work to do on this site....

I will do look ups here in Tucson -- Cemeteries are Evergreen, Holy Hope
(Catholic), South Lawn, East Lawn Palms, and Desert Vista
(non-demoninational).
If you find any others by the real estate office here in Tucson, I would be
most interested in finding them. There is one on like Ft. Lowell, a small
one, but it looks like a private cemetery, its next to a residence.. wierd
huh.

It was a sad situation....
Vynette, in the Tombstone transcriptions did you run across a Olive Williams
that died in 1907 in Tombstone? Her body was exhumed and brought to CG and
buried here in 1922. How about a Mrs. Winfred May Hughes who died on 10 Mar
1921 and is buried in Bisbee?
Gail

Hello Sylvia,
There are a lot of people in the books, Arizona Death Records, with the
surname of Gallego. None have the first name of Eloise. There is an Eloisa
Gellegos who was 76yrs old when she died Oct 14, 1948 and who is buried in
Desert View Cemetery in Winslow. This doesn't seem to fit the person that
you are looking for.
Under the surname of Sievers, there are no listings at all.
Sorry that I couldn't be of any help.

In 1954 I was working for an excavation contractor , doing some work on
an old farm field in the portion of Aravaipa Canyon located in Pinal
County. An earth scraper uncovered what appeared to be a small pit
containing burned bone. Unfortunatly, the next pass that the operator
made, destroyed the site. This farm was an old one going back to perhaps
the turn of the century. I have never known the Native Americans living
in Arizona, prior to that time, to cremate their dead and I have always
been curious abou
Hurray!!! I have hit pay dirt or should I say "sand".... I just got a
telephone call and looks like some of the records from the "Old Casa Grande
Cemetery" have surfaced and I am out the door to take a look and start
coping the old mortuary books... I am so excited... see what happens when
you get nosey or start asking questions...;-)
