FAMILY PHOTO ALBUMS
http://www.tampicohistoricalsociety.citymax.com/Family_Photos_Index.html
Berge (aka: Birge) Family Album - These photos are already in our HOWLETT/PARENT Album, but they include the Berge family, so I have started a seperate album for the Berge
Family.
PICASA WEB ALBUMS (Unfortunately, our search engine cannot index these albums. You will need to go to each album of interest to manually search for surname) Here is a link to
ALL of our Picasa web albums:
http://picasaweb.google.com/TampicoHistoricalSociety Click on Album of choice. You may then click on individual photos to enlarge, read details or leave comments.
Burial Permits - Milo Smith has donated a box of Burial Permits. I have been scanning them into a Picasa Web Album and also linking to them from the cemetery lists. This is an awesome donation and it helps fill in some missing gaps. This will take quite a while for me to finish, so check your names of interest often. A BIG THANK YOU to Milo!

Military - I continue to add to the Military photo album. I am also adding additional information to the photos as I find them. Please check back to this album often as I
continue to update and add. Currently, I am posting photos from a wonderful book I found in the Walnut Public Library - "Honor Roll, Bureau County 1917-1919" It contains mini
bios on each soldier along with photo. I won't be able to post all of Bureau County, but will try to get all of our surrounding areas.

CEMETERIES
Tampico Memorial Cemetery Index - I made some corrections to the "McKenzie" information. The maiden name of Lovina McKenzie, mother of Clyde & Roy and wife of Ray. H. is listed as "Scott" in one log and as "West" in other logs. I am pretty sure the West is correct.
