Looking for any family of August Anderson b. abt 1867 in Sweden or family of Wilhelmina "Minnie" Lauterbach b. abt 1872 in Germany. They had one known daughter, Olive. born 1 Oct 1894 in Huron. By 1910 the family is in King Co., Washington.

Olive married several times: Mr. H. E. Shannnon of Washington; Mr. Ratchford; and Lowery Higgins in 1941 in Mina, Mineral, Nevada. I don't think she had any children.

I have her birth record and marriage certificate for Olive to Lowery Higgins. Would like to find Anderson or Lauterbach family to give records to.

Wonderful! In 2002-2004, I did some research for a "DA" on this same family so I alerted her to your offer. (Hope her last email address is valid.) Otherwise, I'm interested for the Beadle County files.

Sheryl - were you able to contact the person who is related to the above?

No, the email was returned undeliverable.

I wonder how many are missing really great messages because they don't keep an up-to-date email.

I know that Olive had one sister and I'll try and locate any descendants. If I don't, I would be glad to send you Olive's records. In the meantime, you might be able to connect with your "person."

E-mail me again in about 2-3 months. In the meantime, I'll print off all of this and put with Olive's folder to remind me.
