Genealogy research through mail:
Currently free. Please send a LONG self addressed stamped
envelope
(LSASE) with your request. Please don't forget to include
your
snail mail address in the letter, sometimes the envelopes get
separated
from the request. Requests take approximate 4 to 6 weeks for
response.
I do have the records databased and I am verifying spellings and the grave locations. If you any questions, email me Michelle.
Would you like a photograph of a headstone? I will do City of Cleveland (owned) Cemeteries. If someone else would like to register in doing requests at other cemeteries, please let me know. I get a lot of requests for other cemeteries and I am not capable of doing them all. (I am independent from the City of Cleveland. They are in no way participating in photographs of headstones and are not liable for such services I render.)
NOTE:
Do you need a headstone for a grave?
See the list of monument
and headstone dealers in the local area.

Wanted: I would be most interested in sharing bios and/or pictures of the inhabitants of this cemetery. If you would like to share some history about a loved one buried in Denison Cemetery, please email me. I will post the information on this web site to share.
I am also looking for pictures, old pictures if possible of what this cemetery looked like long ago and of graves at this cemetery.
