Hi Robin,
If your offer is still open to look for relatives at the Bohemian
National Cemetery, I would like you to look for my grandmother and an aunt &
uncle. They are:

Emelia Wittman (her death certificate has the name spelled Whittman so
not sure how it will be spelled on the stone) the location of her grave is
: Row 11, No. 76, Lot 5, Block 19, died 9 May 1936.
John Wittman died 29 Sept 1934 and his wife Blanche Marek Wittman died
1933/34

Whatever information that you can get would be appreciated, also
pictures if possible.
Thank you so much for this offer
Carol
