Jill? I have a Sophia Elvers or Elfers or Elphers, Birth date of October 29, 1879 possibly from Bremen, Germany.
I've seen it many ways. She immigrated from Germany in 1906 I assumed with her Father who could be named Joseph. I've seen her last name spelled all three ways in her children's death notices and marriage license documents..
She's always been a tough ancestor to research, along with her husband Nelson Wesley Martin
and also have seen his name reversed as Wesley Nelson Martin.
my Grandfather; child of those two individuals was born in 1914 yet I haven't been able to locate a marriage certificate for Sophia and Nelson....only Wesley's birth record....
Hoping you read this soon, and contact me as I'm researching almost daily, and am almost sure to read the message. or just email my personal email address,
