U. S. Map Shows which Ancestries Make up that County

From The Washington Post, April 18, 2014. "The history of European colonization of the Americas is still evident today in most of the United States. This very cool map shows which ancestries make up the largest population in each of the country’s 3,144 counties."









Another map showing the population growth and decline, changes in racial and ethnic concentrations and patterns of housing development appeared in the The New York Times and you can click on every county to get the above information.

Asking For Help -- Skokie, Illinois area

My husband helping me find a grave.

Do You live in the Skokie, Illinois area?
Follow-up:  An employee of the cemetery took photos for me in September 2011.

My grandparents are buried in the Memorial Park Cemetery and Crematorium, Skokie, Illinois. Many years ago, I wrote the Cemetery for information and received the information below. I sure would love some help if somebody could take photos for me. On March 21st, I submitted a request to FindAGrave...still hoping a volunteer will take a trek to the cemetery. But, if not, maybe a reader can help out.
