Just thought I would post this information. It might help someone. A picture in my newspaper this morning has a tombstone picture from an old cemetery in the Staten Island Bourough of New York. This is not my line, but I am interested in genealogy.
John U. Tjarks -Born in Germany
b. Sept. 1858
d. June 18 1881 or 1891
Katie Tjarks
1877 - 1888 or 1898
The dates are hard to read. Hope this helps someone in their search.
