Wiszowaty or Dezinski

ALevijoki — 5 Oct 2008 10:42:26 GMT

I am looking for information on either family. Mary Wiszowaty was my great-grandmother. I found her in the 1910 census. She lived in Ingallston, MI. She either lived with her daughter Kate Dezinski and her family (Kate's husband was John Dezinski and their son Sylvester, 2) or they lived with her. Mary's son Antone also lived with them. Any information would be appreciated as I have come to a standstill in my research on Mary. She may have re-married after the 1910 census.

Family of Herman Keil

bjkeilyllwhs — 13 Feb 2008 2:43:40 GMT

I am looking for the family of Herman Keil. It is listed as Kile in the 1880 census of Menominee county in Michigan. He was born in Prussia but grew up in Wheatfield, New York-the son of Gottlieb and Teresa Ode Keil. His sister Rosa Keil Lockman and brother Henry Keil remained in Western New York. I have found emigration records for Gottlieb, Teresa, and Herman. I am a member of the family in the Buffalo, New York area. I have not yet located his marriage record to Mary but hopefully I will soon find them. Also a daughter Minne was born in this area before the family moved to Michigan where two other children were born-another Rosa and Henry. In the 1900 census of Meneminee County I find his son Henry Keil in the household of his sister Minnie however I am uncertain of the spelling of her married name. I would like to connect with this branch of my family.

Searching for marriage information on Gladys Rymal b. 1895 in Menominee - married Emory Uhl

shaslam100 — 11 Jul 2008 11:50:28 GMT

I am trying to find any information on Gladys Rymal b. 1895 who married Emory Uhl. I don't have much information about this marriage...however, I do know that Gladys' parents were George W Rymal and Ethel Symes. I can also place Gladys' two children by Emory Uhl in the 1930 census living with their grandfather, George and his 2nd wife, Rosalie, in Michigan...but I cannot find Gladys in either the 1920 or 1930 census records...I did notice that one of her children was born in Indiana..and the other in Michigan..but I still cannot find Gladys in the 1920 or 1930 census records. If there is anyone out there that can provide me with any help on where else to look for records about her, I would greatly appreciate it. I have found her SSDI record (which was not much help) and looked on the LDS website as well as the other normal websites...but no luck...I would appreciate any and all help. Thank you so very much.

Marriage Lookup, Menominee

uncron — 12 May 2007 1:35:12 GMT

I am hoping someone might try looking up a marriage I have not been able to verify.

My maternal grandparents lived on Washington Island, WI and according to the old newspaper article got married in Menominee. I couldn't find it for Wisconsin, so I'm thinking it must have been in Michigan. I would be very grateful if someone could lookup about that date to see if my suspicions are correct. Here is their info. Thanks very much for your efforts in advance.

Thora Moe, born November 2, 1873 in Manitowoc, WI and

Lost Lake Covenant Church Cemetery

SherrieBarber — 1 Jun 2008 1:49:30 GMT

Does anyone have access to this small cemetery? I am looking for a family named Harris....specifically Andrew wife Grace and perhaps several adult children: Andy L. and Gerald. I wrote the Cemetery "Treasurer" but received such an ambiguous letter back that I'm not certain who in the family is interred at the cemetery. No names were mentioned in the letter to me! This is my mother's aunt and uncle. They "disappeared" from WI in the 1930's to probably follow the logging business into MI. Thank you for any help.

Naturalization records in Menominee County

pjeanwenzel — 23 Feb 2008 1:57:58 GMT

Hello, I'm hoping someone can tell me (or point me to where I might find) what information might be available on the various naturalization records in Menominee County. My husband's great grandfather was naturalized there in 1888 or 1898. Using LDS records I found that the "Intent to Naturalize" records contain only the person's name and country from which they emigrated.

The LDS library also lists microfilms for "Naturalization Record". Are these records likely to contain more information like birth date, city of birth, etc.?
Thanks

Jones/McCormick

frysk48 — 8 Dec 2007 2:49:28 GMT

This is a longshot but I hope there is someone in Menominee County that can help.

In the 1900 Census, West-Half of Spalding Township, Menominee County, MI:

Jones, William, born Feb. 1862 in MI, 38y/o, Farmer
Jones, Ida, wife, born March 1870 in NY, 30y/o
Jones, William, son, born Oct. 1891, MI, 8 y/o
Jones, Ira, son, born Jan. 1894, MI, 6y/o
McCormick, Phebe, mother, born Oct. 1847, NY, Widow, 52 y/o

My question concerns Phebe McCormick. She is the mother of William Jones, born 1862. Phebe was married to Jerome Jones somewhere in the Lower Pennisula. Not sure why she is listed with her maiden name in this census. Looking in the 1910 Census, I find William and Ida and their children living in Wayne County, MI but there is no sign of Phebe, under the Jones name or the McCormick name in that census or subsequent ones.

Is there someone who could look for a death record for a Phebe Jones/McCormick in Menominee between 1900-1910? I know she could have died anywhere between Menominee and Wayne counties between 1900-1910 but this is my only hope of finding out when and where she died and this county seems to be a realistic place to start.

Thank-you.

John

Seasonal Lumber Workers

pan_mila — 14 Jan 2003 10:36:37 GMT

Hello List,

Can someone recommend a book(s), a website or any other source that discusses the employment of seasonal workers in the lumber industries in the time frame around 1875-1885.

My g-gf purchased a farm in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin in 1878 and was a farmer for his entire life. He raised seven children on his farm, and six of them were born there. However, his first child was born in Menominee, Michigan on 21 Apr 1879 (as is recorded on her marriage record and her death certificate).

My g-gf was born in Bohemia and his family background was in agriculture not lumbering or fishing. He was 29 years old in 1879 (his name was Ondrej Savlik = Andrew Shavlik, other variations are Sawlik, Schawlik, Schavlik and Schaflik).

It is my theory that my g-gf went to Menominee to work the lumber industry during the winter to earn money. I do not think he had many animals on his farm and if he did, he probably could have left them with a neighbor. I do not know if there was much work to be done on the farm, the ground would be frozen, there was no machinery to maintain...so it seems logical that he would look for other work.

I assume the winter was the busy season in the lumber industry for felling trees and hauling them to the river banks.

There were no other family members in the US at this time, so he was not visiting family. I do not know if Menominee County had much of a Czech community back then, such that he may have been visiting friends.

I appreciate any help....Tom ----- email: pan_mila@yahoo.com

VALVE, VOLVE, HOLAPPA, KOLAHMANE

lara0311_1 — 27 Sep 2007 6:18:35 GMT

Hello all,

I am very interested in learning more information about my great grandfather, Arthur Valoe (listed as Valve on the 1920 census.) He came to the United States from Finland via Canada in 1909, at the age of 9 or 10. I just found out through research tonight that he had a brother, JOHN VALVE, born in around 1911, and a sister, MARTHA VALVE, born around 1916, both born in Michigan.

So far I have determined that his mother's name was ANNA VALVE, and she was a widow before the 1920 census was released. In 1920 she lived in Nadeau, MI. She had a brother named SULO KOLAHMANE, with whom my great grandfather traveled to the US. SULO KOLAHMANE (also spelled Kolemahn) lived with HUKKI and AGDA HOLAPPA in 1920. Hukki and Agda were the parents of GERTRUDE, AGNES, and GEORGE Holappa.

If you are related to any of these people or have any information I would DEFINITELY appreciate a response or email... this is solving an age old mystery!!!

Thanks =)

Shot in the Dark

blaise61 — 11 Apr 2007 12:46:10 GMT

Hello all,

My Great-Grandfather, Hans Strandquist, emigrated from Sweden in 1903. On the ship's manifest, he indicates that he is going to Bagley, Michigan to meet up with his father, Ole Steffenson. On Hans' death certificate, Ole Steffenson is listed as his father, but there's no ther information given. I have no other information on Ole.

So I'm looking for any information on an Ole Steffenson who emigrated from Sweden prior to November 1903. I was not able to find Ole in either the 1900 or the 1910 censuses.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

BEYER / BYER / BEYERS family in Menominee, Michigan

jhmackie_1 — 11 Aug 2004 4:27:43 GMT

Does anyone have information on the family of Ernest and Augusta BEYER of Menominee, MI.

My ggrandmother was Lena BEYER a daughter of Ernest BEYER.. My grandmother was 12 years old when her mother, Lena, died and not much is known about this side of the family.

From what I have been told, Ernest came from Germany in the late 1800's with his 1st wife, who died when Lena was a child. Lena's aunt, Augusta (her mother's sister), came over from Germany to help raise Lena and married Ernest. I believe Ernest and Augusta had the following children:

Ernest, Otto, Henry (Edward H), Anna H, Emma (Mary E.), and Rose BEYER

If anyone has any information on this family, I would happy to hear from you.

Best Regards,

Rose Marie Lewis — 14 Jul 2006 8:33:11 GMT

Alfred and Mary (Marie) LeGros were from Belgium and had one daughter Rosine (Rose Mary) in December of 1888 in Nadeau, MI. I believe her sister Emma Eve also was born in Nadeau, MI in 1891 but just can't find the record. I don't have Alfred's declaration of intent, naturalization records, parents names or birth place. Would like to find any information on Alfred LeGros as possible.

Alfred was a druggist/chemist/pharmacist before immigrating through Port of New York in 1886.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

John A. Benzing (abt. 1902 - ?) m. Ida GERBER (abt. 1905 - ?) in Erie Co., NY

Paul E. Newell — 6 Jul 2006 8:46:53 GMT

I'm searching for death and burial information about John Alexander Benzing and his wife, Ida GERBER Benzing.

John Alexander Benzing; b. abt. 1902 in Buffalo, Erie Co., New York; m. Ida GERBER 02 Dec 1927 in Buffalo, Erie Co., New York; died unknown, possibly November 1970 in Menominee, Menominee Co., MI. John A. Benzing was the son of John E. Benzing and Agnes TROMBLEY.

Ida GERBER; b. abt 1905 in Buffalo, Erie Co., New York; died unknown, possibly July 1970 in Menominee, Menominee Co., MI. Ida was of Lancaster, New York at the time of her marriage, in 1927. Ida GERBER was the daughter of Frederick Gerber and Elizabeth KABLE or CABLE.

I do not know when John and Ida removed from New York or when they settled in Michigan. Family tradition relates that John A. Benzing once had a lucrative business in Chicago, IL.

SSDI data for John and Ida states their Death Residence Locality (DRL) as Menominee, Menominee Co., MI. I understand the SSDI DRL doesn't mean John and Ida actually died in Menominee, but that's the best information I've got.

Any information about the places of death and burial for John and Ida GERBER Benzing would be much appreciated.

Hebert, Gondreau (or Goudreau), Mayville - Nadeau, MI

jenniferlittle169 — 25 May 2006 7:40:02 GMT

I am looking for info on Malvina (or Milvina or Melvina) - She was born in 1884

On the birth records for her children it lists her maiden name as Hebert, Ebert, or Hibbert

Her obit says she came from Nadeau when she was 14

Her one surviving daughter recalls that Malvina was from Nadeau and remembers one uncle - Jack. She also remembers her mother's maiden name as Hebert. But knows nothing of her grandparents.

In the census records - it states that Malvina was born in Michigan.

Malvina married Alcide Mayville in Escanaba, MI in 1903 or 1905. One listing of their marriage record lists her as Milvina Gondreau. I have no idea where that name comes from and neither does the one surviving daughter.

I ordered a search from the State of MI of Michigan birth records from 1883 - 1885 and they found no Malvina Hebert.

Any help would be very appreciated!

Brick wall

BULLDAWGZZ — 4 Aug 2006 9:09:52 GMT

I hit a brick wall!!!! My family all are from Menominee yet, I am unable to locate any info on them from this area..Here is my dilemma. My gr-grandfather was born as Michael Panzram March 17 1891 reportedly in Menominee, yet, the records office says they have no record. His family was : parents: John(Loraine)Panzram
Mary Panzram nee Engeldinger, Bauer. Siblings:
Nicolaus Bauer, Clara Bauer,Lizabeth Bauer,Laurence Panzram and Edward Panzram. Family story is he was adopted by his brother Nicolaus and changed his name to Bowers, yet, it is possible that Mary was pregnant with him when she married Panzram so he might actually be a Bauer, I cannot locate any info on any of these people from Menominee. Can anyone Please help. The family lived in Menominee possibly from 1890 to at least 1910.
