I am working on a tree for a friend of mine. He is descended from Charles Edward Sohm of Nebraska, b. 12 Sep 1871 Duncan, Platte County, Nebraska, d. 23 Dec 1950 Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska. Married Mary Katherine Nelson.
I am having a HORRIBLE time finding anything at all about his parents. The only thing I've found was a Franklin Sohn in the 1885 census of Nebraska living in Platte, Polk County, Nebraska with a son Charles of the correct age.
I tried to get a death certificate, but Nebraska won't issue them unless you are next of kin and this is supposed to be a surprise, so there goes that angle.
Does anyone out there know anything at all?????
