I am looking for additional information on George A. Edlbeck, 4th of 9 children born to James & Johanna (Schweiger) Edlbeck.

On 20 April 1896, George married Barbara K. Rezachek, daughter of Josef & Katerina (Hana) Rezachek, in Brown County, WI. Barbara was born in July 1874 in Montpelier (Township) in Keawaunee, WI -- the 5th of eleven children.

George & Barbara moved to Menominee, MI (surfacing there in the 1930 Federal Census.) I have found no records that would indicate they had any children. My research says that George died in Menominee on June 12, 1945, but I don't know where he was buried. I have not been able to find anything more about Barbara, who is my wife's Great Grandaunt. I would appreciate any additional information or tips you can provide.

Sincerely, "PJ" Braun -- ptpgroup@hotmail.com

I'm not related to this family.

Thomas, you may not be related to the family but you have provided me a significant amount of information... and for that you have my thanks. This is very helpful!! "PJ"

I would like to publicly acknowledge the support I received from three separate board readers -- Tracy Lentz, E.L. Stone and Donna (aka Tyke) who provided me with specific information via direct e-mail. Collectively they provided all of the information I thought possible and copies of reference files. I can know move forward with my research and am more than willing to share what I have with anyone who might also be interested. r/ "PJ" Braun
