I am searching for any info on Wm J Sheehan who was in the Old Pioneers home in the 1930 census, he was born in 1844 in England but I can't find where he's buried or when he died He was married to an Aleut woman named Soffia Bereskin or Vereskin. Please contact me at brandia11@yahoo.com

Also if my cousin Bonnie is out here I've lost my address book & you were in it.!!!!

I'm pretty sure they were in Unalaska, as my gr grandmother was in the Jesse Lee Home, her mother is buried in front of that little cemetery with the white picket fence & the purple flowers that grow all in the fields around it (atleast that's what she told me), & my gr gr grandfather owned the first mercantile as well as made billiards that were sent all over the place, he's in alot of the "Polk's Directories" in a lot of cities. On my gr grandmother's school records it says she & her mother were born in Morzhovoi... Was St Paul considered part of it? I thought St Paul was an Island further out, but it may explain where he might be buried. It's the only state I haven't been to but I sure wish I could find out how to get the records for the Old Pioneers Home to see if there's anymore info in there, all I get is the run around when I've tried to call up there.

Oops sorry. my grgrgrandfather was William Sheehan,1844-193? married to my gr gr grandmother Soffia Bereskin 1875-1900 who was supposedly married to a Petre Dushkin before marrying my gr grgrandfather. I haven't verified that, it is from someone who submitted it on the LDS site. I do know it's definitely Sheehan & Bereskin that are family, & someone just recently contacted me & said the Berskin were Russian Jews from a small area of Russia close by Alaska & they came there to escape persecution... my mom would always say that but I thought it was nonsense...
