Hello,

I am trying to located more info on The family of Alexander Michael Machus, born 23 Jan 1895 in Iron Mountain, Michigan, whom married Louise Antoinette Kelnhofer, whom was born 18 Jul 1897 also in Iron Mountain, Michigan.
I am on disability and there fore can not afford a paid subscription for this info, otherwise I would be doing it myself. What I have been able to find, is:
Children born:
1] Robert Michael Machus, born 1921 in Iron Mountain Michigan, but have no idea on exact date, or whom he married and if there were children. He died in 1989 but again no exact date or where.

2] Richard Anthony Machus, born 1928 in Iron Mountain, Michigan, no exact date, or if married or had children, died in 1966, but don't have exact date or where.

3] David John Machus, Born 22 Dec 1928 Iron Mountain Michigan, Married Aileen Johns on 20 Oct 1951. He died 3 Aug 2005 in Aurora Wisconsin, and buried at Iron Mountain. [ this was my husband's uncle, his aunt is living and just turned 80.]

4] Paul Alexander Machus, born 28 Aug 1934 Iron Mountain Michigan, no idea if married or any children, died 5 jan 2005 in Gutersville Alabama, Marshall County. no other info.

I have a bit of info on David John Machus, which I have been able to find online and though my husband's family that is still living, but have nothing and no one can tell me anything on his parents or brothers and their families. If any were enlisted in WW1 or WW2 or Korea, any census. Any help in any of this, would Appreciate. Thank you for your help and your time.
