Have you ever researched graves in Quincy IL? My 3rd gif died there in 1850s and I think is in an old catholic cemetery but I can’t find any info on him. I would like to find someone who knows about cemeteries in and around Quincy. Enjoy your videos. Thank you for doing these.

@@MiddleAgedBaldGuy Philip Fogel lived in Adams county. He died I believe around 1850-54. The name is now Fogle. I believe he was catholic, and would be in a catholic cemetery. I reached out to the catholic records and they say records were sketchy around that time so I keep hitting brick walls. We will be holding our 149th year Fogle reunion this year. Thank you so much for what you do. I will post your info on our facebook page so other family will subscribe to your channel.
