Thanks!! I will tell him to check his spam folder. If he doesn't find it he/we will let you know and figure out how to get it again.

I will also let him know that you live somewhat near to our great-great grandparents' (Thomas & Catherine Meagher) town called Chateaugay, Franklin County, NY. Supposedly they moved there from ?, Canada in 1849 when our great grandfather Patrick was 7. That would be great if we could go back further in the Meagher line (like he did in the Ellis line).

LOL, I just pulled up my personal web based mail and saw that you answered my PM. I can't respond to it until I get home (it is linked to Facebook which is blocked at my job). I'll "talk" to ya there tonight or over the weekend, K? :)

aisto1 — 2013-02-22 18:47:58Z

Wow, that is so impressive what has been done on the Ellis side!!! I seem to recall my mother saying that he disappeared without a trace, so that is quite interesting!

Yes, I do remember your visits. Somewhere, I have all of my parents old photos tucked away and know that I have some pictures of you guys. If I ever come across them I will scan and send to you.

We visit Florida frequently, but further north in Sarasota to visit my husband's aunt. Too bad that it is not closer to where you live.

I will spend some time this weekend looking through the Kraemer tree and see if there is anything to add. Will be happy to do further research on Patrick's parents.

Hi Eileen!

Yes, that is the e-mail that I used. I e-mailed him on January 29th but it must have gone to his spam.

I am currently living in Canada, just across the New York border in Ontario, so if Ed has any loose ends either in Canada or New York that he is trying to track down, let me know and I will be happy to help.

I am also going back to Montana this summer in June for 3 weeks and can look up things while there as well.

I am new to ancestry.com, just getting the hang of things, so it will be fun to share our info.

Hi Ann,

This is Eileen on behalf of Ed. How are you? Good I hope! I asked him last night if he had received your email and he said no; he wanted to make sure that you had the correct e-mail address: ed_kraemer @hotmail.com. In his message to you the underscore between his first & last name is hard to see because his email address showed as a link (underlined).

I will also send this same info via a private message to your Facebook account. Can't wait to see what info you have and for you to see our tree etc.(if you haven't already).

Have a blessed day, Eileen

Ann,

I would love to catch you up on what I have, and get anymore info that you may have. Do you have a tree on ancestry? I probably would have come across it by now. I can let you see my tree anytime, I have it very full of Meagher/Ellis stuff. I made a trip out there with my sister Kathi about 10 years ago and met with your dad (if you are with the Aunt Betty that I think you are that is). You can email me at ed_kraemer@hotmail.com so we can get together easier. This message board just happened to send me an alert to my email, otherwise I wouldn't have seen it. By the way..Do you know any of my sisters, I don't think I have met you, unless it was when I was very little. It will be good to hear from you. Ed

I should know.....I just bought the property and have my work cut out for me for it to be safe to walk into.

Re: Moreau family that settled in Helmville, Montana

judyartley53 — 2011-10-31 03:19:25Z

Hi Annette,
I think you're going to need to search in Belgium for more info about Constant. The FamilySearch.org web site has information from other countries but he's not listed there now. That's the Mormon church's website and they're adding more records every day.

I did find a marriage record for Contant [their spelling] E. Moreau
Born: 1859
Father: Hubert E. Moreau
Mother: Louis J. Dordier
Married: 18 June 1890, Lewis and Clarke, Montana
Spouse: Margaret A. Mclaughlin, age=23
Estimated Birth Year: 1867
Father: John Mclaughlin
Mother: Margaret Fields.
Source: Montana County Marriages 1865-1950 for Hubert E. Moreau, FamilySearch.org.

I found Herbert and Louisa Moreau and children in the 1870 Foxborough, Norfolk, Massachusetts Census. That's the earliest record that I found.

A Hubert Edward Moreau
Estimated Birth Year: 1900
Father: Coristant [their spelling] E. Moreau
Mother: Margaret Mclaughlin
Hubert Married: 21 Dec 1920, Ravalli, MT
Spouse: Leona Markham
Estimated Birth Year: 1901
Father: Edward W. Markham
Mother: Malinda Reynolds
Source: Montana County Marriages 1865-1950 for Hubert Edward Moreau, FamilySearch.org.

In 1930 Hubert and Leona Moreau and their son Gerald were living in Helena, Lewis and Clark, Montana. I didn't find any death info for Leona or Gerald in Montana but then I wouldn't have since Montana considers death info confidential for 50 years after the death.
Hubert E. Moreau, b. MT, 32, fireman railroad.
Leona B., wife, b. KY, 27.
Gerold A., son, b. MT, 5.

Do you have a copy of Hubert's obituary? You can do a Google search on Whittier Genealogical Society for their contact info. Ask them if they'll supply a copy of his obituary. They probably will charge a fee.

What you really need is where he resided and not where he died. You'll have to order a copy of his death certificate to find out this info.

I did find a Gerald A. Moreau
Born: 8 Sept. 1926
Last Residence: Could have been Saratoga Springs, Saratoga, NY
Died: 8 Jan 2000
His soc. sec. # was assigned in New York before 1951.
Source: Social Security Death Index.

A Gerald A. Moreau
Service: SF/3 US Navy World War II
Born: 8 Sept. 1926
Service Start Date: 12 Sept. 1944
Died: 8 Jan 2000
Interment Date: 11 Jan 2000
Cemetery: Gerald B. H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery, 200 Duell Road, Schuylerville, NY 12871-1721
Buried at: Section 7 Site 802

You'll need to find his obituary to verify if he's your Gerald.

Sometime the next year the 1940 Census will be released. Hopefully Hubert and his new wife will appear on that Census. Successful Searching!

Moreau family that settled in Helmville, Montana

annettemoreau25 — 2011-09-15 13:09:06Z

I am looking for information on the Moreau family that settled in a homestead in Helmville, Montana sometime around 1870-1880 & short time later they built a home in Helena, Mt. They lived at 704 State Street in Helena.

Constant Emile (C.E.) Augustus Moreau was my 2nd great grandfather.
He was Born in Apr 1859 in Namur, Belgium. His Death is recorded as 24 Sept 1925 in Helmville, Powell, Montana; He was one of the territories first families’.

Constant Emile (C.E.) Augustus Moreau married
Margaret Ann McLaughlin
Birth 18 Jul 1866 in New York, New York, New York, USA
Death 27 Dec 1955 in Helmville, Powell, Montana, USA

and their marriage produced 6 childern:
Louise Marie Moreau
Birth 9 Mar 1892 in Helmville, Powell, Montana
Death 6 Mar 1977 in Helmville, Powell, Montana

Marguerite (Margaret) A. Moreau
Birth 27 Jan. 1894 in Helena, Lewis and Clark, Montana, USA
Death 4 June, 1978 in Olympia, Thurston, Washington

Hubert Edward Moreau (he was my Great-Grandfather)
Birth 17 May 1897 in Montana
Death 22 Jul 1972 in Whittier, Los Angeles, California,

Grace Josephine Moreau
Birth 29 Jun 1899 in Helena, Lewis and Clark, Montana
Death 25 Aug 1988 in Bellevue, King, Washington

Constance Field Moreau
Birth abt 1904 in Helena, Montana

Charles H. Moreau
Birth 19 Jul 1907 in Helena, Lewis and Clark, Montana
Death 01 Aug 1997 in Bellevue, King, Washington

Now I have yet to find ANY records for Constant Emile (C.E.) Augustus Moreau’s parents: Herbert (Hubert) Edward Moreau & Louise before they came to the United States. They are where this family line starts in the USA, and it is also where my research ends with My 3rd Great Grandfather, Herbert (Hubert) Edward Moreau’s family. He and his wife Louise came from Belgium to the United States sometime during 1859-1870, because the family shows up in the 1870 US census as living in Foxborough. I know that Constant Emile (C.E.) Augustus Moreau was the only family member to migrate west.

I am also trying to locate any information on my Great Grandfather Hubert Edward Moreau. I know that he was divorced from my Grandfather Gerald Alan Moreau's mother, Leona Bertha Markham and that he remarried. I am curious if he had any other children and if any other descendants exist, as I have been unable to locate anyone.

I am also seeking info on any of the Moreau's that are living that are related to this family. If anyone has any further information please contact me.

Shiela, I am Ed Kraemer author of the Kraemer family tree. Patrick Henry Meagher is my Great Grandfather. Rachel Ellis is my grandmother, Marion (Kraemer)Ellis is my mother. Where do you fit in the Meagher Ellis tree? What other info do you need? I am still gathering info from Deer Lodge. I went there a few years ago and found alot of documents. PH's death cert. and obit (see my tree). Rachel Ellis's death cert and front page obit from her car accident. Found all the grave sites and the old farm house from the original 2600 acre ranch still stands. I also found PH's mom and dad in Chataugay NY (Franklin co NY). My next trip will be to go up there and find their death cert's from when they died 2 months (or so) apart in 1869. I need to find where Patrick Henry Meahger was born in 1842, all I ever find is "Canada". Do you have any other info about him? Let me know what else you need. Ed

Re: Marriage Lookup Luther Hurlbutt and Martha Latham

RBestrom7380 — 2011-01-12 02:20:40Z

I found the image of the marriage data on Family Search. "IF" this link will work:
https://www.familysearch.org/s/image/show#uri=http%3A%2F%2Fp...

In this 1904 document, they were identified as being residents in Anaconda which is in Deer Lodge County. (You posted this in Powell County where the TOWN of Deer Lodge exists). You might wish to post in Deer Lodge Co.

It does show what was transcribed as "Baun." The full Family search database, typed data, shows Martha E. Latham, age 21, dau of George Latham and Emma S. Schartz. Spouse's birthplace: Baun, MT. Luther H. Hurlbutt, born 1880 in Council Bluffs, IA, son of Albert John Hurlbutt and Emma S. Randall. Witnesses Margaret E Rutledge, ? Wave, Isaac A Wove/Wave/Ware Minister.

The 1920 Census shows Martha E. Hurlbutt, age 25(1884/1885) born in Montana, married 6 years. Mother born in Germany, Father in Pennsylvania. Husband was Lon A(or H) Hurlbutt. Son Kenneth born in Washington, Dau Evelyn in Montana...If this is the correct family.

I did a number of searches for Martha, Luther and her parents. I don't know what information you have on her parents; but, at the time of marriage were her parents still alive? Had her father died and her mother remarried? Was Martha in Deer Lodge at a distance from her parents? My questions are due to her place of birth. She, or someone, identified the place of birth, but not the County. Did this indicate she did not know where she was born? The other possibility is the transcription of the data available on the original document. Could "Baun" be the place of birth of the mother? It is the name of a farm/farm land. It could have been mispelled from any number of other words, Bonn, Braun, etc.

Now as to the handwritting of the name of the location of birth. The first letter is clearly a "B." The next letter is probably an "a," as it matches other "a" letters on the form. See the "a" in Latham, Anaconda, etc. The tail of the "a" does drop in these cases, the end of "o's" do not. Now, the next letter is identified as an "u." But, if you look at the "r" in Hurlburt, Luther, especially in the maiden name of "Marie" E. Schartz, the next letter in "Ba.." could be an "r." Now the next letter after the "r," could be an "n." Take a look at the "n's" in Anaconda, especially in the name of Emma "Randall." Back in the day, a large number of persons wrote the "n" inverted, looking more like a "u." Now, after that "n," the tail of the "n" moves up, then comes down almost back into it, making it look like an "s." So, with my handwriting analysis, it could be Barns, or Barne.

As with Baun, I looked up Barns, Barne, Bar.., Bou.. Bor.., etc., in the US Geological Society database of Domestic names... I found nothing that matched in Montana. I also used the US Census looking for such a place in the 1900 and 1880 Census.

I looked at the Bureau of Land Management's database of land patents issued under the Homestead Act for any land issued to Latham, Hurlbutt, Hurlburt, etc. I found nothing matching criteria.

Based on your number of postings, I don't believe this is family.

Re: Marriage Lookup Luther Hurlbutt and Martha Latham

judyartley53 — 2011-01-08 19:45:22Z

Hi,
The town of Baun might have existed in 1904 and doesn't now.

I'd contact the Powell County Genealogical Society, powell.mtgenweb.org/pcresource.htm and ask if they have a book on cities/towns that don't exist today. There are also books for Post Office's that don't exist today. You might have to send them a research request.

I used rootsweb's city/town to county index. Click on Home and it's about 1/2 way down on the left-hand side. I did that and entered Baun and no county appeared. Successful Searching!

Marriage Lookup Luther Hurlbutt and Martha Latham

richard_vanwagenen — 2010-12-28 06:19:45Z

Am wondering if there is any kind of notice of their marriage in newspaper in Deer Lodge, around Oct 31, 1904. Because, on familysearch.org., that is when they got married.

My reason for this query, is because, of the town that Martha lists as her birth place, Baun, I have never heard of such a place in Montana.
I lived in Montana, for period of 2 years back, in the 1970's in and around Helena.

Well if you're reading up on those books, I'd appreciate it if you
would keep an eye out for some of my lines:
Mainly CAMPBELL, but variants such as STUART are a possibility.
I was intrigued by the FINLAY connection - since my
brick wall ancestor was raised in New Jersey by a FINLEY / FINLAY
and that line and the CAMPBELL's seemed to have "hung out with"
Daniel BOONE in VA and TN and part of those areas.

I know a branch from my CAMPBELL line wound up back in MT and WY,
and one became a big rancher out there, the other was involved in mining.

But, I agree, that Bibliography looks like a good long list of winter reading!
You will probably find some of the older ones online at Google Books.
I find all kinds of interesting things to read at Google Books - and find
them interesting even when they aren't necessarily from my lines.

(Keeps me distracted from my "brick wall" ancestor:
Charles Muir CAMPBELL, b 1795 in Scotland, with an uncle, James CAMPBELL.
Came to the USA by way of Jamaica, West Indies (or possibly elsewhere
in the West Indies, or possibly even South America.)

We had some other lines that tied into our CAMPBELL line -
those included: CORR, FLEXMAN, BYARD, WALLENIUS, and CHAMBERS.

Enjoy your reading!
Greg

The link from 2006 seemed to be broken.

Try this link as of Dec 2010:
http://deq.MT.gov/abandonedmines/linkdocs/163tech.mcpx

Their internal reference seems to be 163tech aka Gold Creek
a north flowing tributary of the Clark Fork River (in MT), where
they first discovered gold in Montana.
Here are some names & places extracted from the DEQ.MT.gov page, by year:

1852: Francois FINLAY aka Benetsee, his daughter Mary Ann FINLAY
at a place named Benetsee's Creek.
Apparently knew: John MULLEN, Peter MULLEN
Angus McDONALD at Fort Connah near Flathead Lake, Hudson Bay Company

1856 mentions: Robert HEREFORD, John Sanders aka "Long Tom", Bill MADISON,
Granville STUART, James STUART, Reece ANDERSON of the STUART-ANDERSON party returning from CA

1858: Log cabin on Mullen Road where it crossed Gold Creek became community of American Fork where 45 people lived.

1860: Henry THOMAS "Gold Tom"

1862: Granville STUART set up first effective gold sluices in MT
Pikes Peak Creek
John WHITE at Grasshopper Creek

By Aug 1862 all but two miners had left Gold Creek for better prospects.
After only four months, Gold Creek placers were nearly abandoned
and the town "American Fork" was abandoned.

1866: Pioneer mining district organized.
1867: Pioneer Company using Hydraulic mining and activity increased again.
Yam Hill near Batterton Bar.

1868 or 1869: Conrad KOHRS and others formed Rock Creek Ditch Co to provide water 16 miles via canal.

Included a nice bibliography list, including:
McClernan,H. G.

1976 "Metallic Mineral Deposits of Powell County, Montana", Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology, Bulletin 98.

Mullen, John

1991 Miners and Travelers' Guide. (Reprint) Ye Galleon Press, Fairfield, Washington. Originally published by W. M. Franklin, New York.

Re: PETERSEN-CLAUSEN

gpBike1001 — 2010-11-06 23:36:46Z

Hi Trudy,

I'm looking for much the same info as you, but for a Matthias F. Petersen and a Marina (Hannah) S. Clausen also reportedly from Pellworm Island, but with much later dates. They lived in Garnet and Helmville, MT in the late 1800s and early 1900s. They had at least three children. Marina Clausen died in Drummond/Hall, MT in the early '50s.

But my fundamental question really is how are these two sets of PETERSEN-CLAUSENs related?

Any guesses?

Thanks.

Hello,

in your descendy you show Ardie Ann van Elsberg, married to Francis B. Wisner Jr.

I'm very interested in getting some more information on that couple; I'm doing research on familynames "van Elsbergen / van Elsberg" originally from germany.

There is a Clarence Michael van Elsberg, b. 28. june 1901 in Blaine, Milwaukee, Minnesota, d. 14. november 1971 in Deer Lodge, Powell, Montana who could be in relationship.

Any information is welcome

Andrew Dira marriage record and census

jklaporte — 2010-05-22 03:52:59Z

I am looking for a marriage record for Andrew Dira and Rosa/Rose Roberts?. Andrew came to the US on 2 March 1910 through New York City. He was born in Italy in 1894. His alien name was Andrea DiRe. Andrew is listed in 1917 in Powell County on his WWI draft registration and again on his petition for naturalization 27 February 1918. At that time his address was 502 Second Street, Deer Lodge, Montana. I would like to know if he was in Montana when the 1910 census was completed.

cemetery records for Hillcrest Cemetery, Powell County

pegjerben — 2010-04-27 19:44:31Z

Is there anyone here who could do a look-up for me regarding this cemetery? I have a copy of my grgrgrandfather's death certificate showing him as being buried in this cemetery in 1918. However, I have done a photo request on find-a-grave and all they can find is that there is no record of his burial.
His name is Joseph A Thompson, and date of death is Aug 1, 1918......date of burial according to the death certificate is Aug 3, 1918.

Re: Schaffer's of Deer Lodge

dmdsearch — 2010-04-25 20:55:05Z

The obituary might well have been published in the local Deer Lodge newspaper. The library in town has copies of the paper (Silver State Post) before the more current ones made available online. You might be able to get the librarian to look up and make a copy of George's obit and send to you. contact the library at:
William K Kohrs Library,kohrslibrary.org
501 Missouri Avenue, Deer Lodge, MT 59722-1152
(406) 846-2622
The obit might have been published in the Montana Standard newspaper as well.

Another resource in Deer Lodge for death/burial information is the funeral home, Jewell Funeral Home Inc,601 Missouri Avenue, Deer Lodge, MT 59722-1154 (406) 846-1777

I was born in Deer Lodge and have a goodly number of family buried in HIllcrest Cemetery. I checked www.Findagrave.com to see if George was listed but no. I live in WA state. I subscribe to NewspaperArchives and will check there. Not sure if the 1982 is among the years available there.

WA state has a web site of digital records at
http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/
Enter only the last name on the first page. It will give you a long list of Schaffer names in various categories. Then click on each type of record and review the names. Did not see Mark Schaffer among the birth names. Do have a look, you might find something useful when you least expect it.

The people at the Deer Lodge Library and Jewell's funeral home are very helpful if not too busy at the time. Check also the MT genweb site.

Sincerely...Dottie
