Could someone help with some ideas for a "next step" in finding a lost relative? Lost Joseph MILLER - Germany? Birthdate (Guessing 1855 or between 1850-1855). My Anna (NEGELE)perhaps spelled (NAGEL,NAGEL)Married name MILLER. By the census information for her children I come to the fact they (Anna & children) immigrated to US in 1885. Various stories about what happened to Joseph. Anna died in 1888--- She arrived to the US in 1885 & died in 1888 - No census for her. Tombstone reads B 1855, D. 1888. Daughter of L & K She shares the stone with Bertha (her sister) who was born 1869 D. 1895 Tombstone reads -- wife of A. P. MORLEY. (The names of the owner of the cemetery lot are L. Negele & W. H. Paris.) PROBLEM: How can I find anymore about Joseph MILLER - whether he died on the ship, had ever came over with them, came over left to find his fortune and died somewhere in the US?? Any ideas about how to search this out would be appreciated!!!! -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

I am trying to find info about GGUncle Frank Miller. I am fairly confident that family Anna (NEAGLE) MILLER came to US in 1885 with son Theodore b.1876 & his brother Frank b??. (story goes there was also a sister, but nothing but story to back that). In 1888 Mother Anna dies, buried in Maquoketa, Jackson County Iowa. Anna's headstone reads daughter of L & K Neagle. I can find Theodor in South Fork, Jackson County in 1900 working as a hired hand for Siefert family. When his mother, Anna died Theodore would have been about 12 so not living alone. I have a picture of Frank with Theodore they both look in their 20's and look close to the same age (a couple years apart so Frank may have been 10 or 14 when Anna died). I don't find Theodore or Frank from 1885 until I find Theodore in 1900. They are nowhere to be found in the Jackson County census. Could someone help with Clinton County census 1890, 1895? Also, Did Elwood have a newspaper in 1888?? Thank you Betty
