Dear Gayle: I am continuing to have a very difficult time with my Oliver research. Even with you information you have forwarded to me I am at a brick wall. As you know Irvin (Irwin), listed his fathers name as Martin Oliver and his mother as Maria ?Radabruch, on his marriage license. According to the Effingham County information I received his father is listed as Nathan Nelson as well as Matthew. I have attempted to follow this family backward to PA with no success. I have also attempted searching into the married names of Irwins sisters hoping to find a link in that direction as well as search for his brothers. Unfortunately, no results. Do you have any idea how I would go about determining the cemetary Irvin is buried in? Perhaps I can write for burial information and that will lead me into a new direction. Have you any suggestions? I am posting what info I have on this family at this time in hope that some other researchers is linked. Thank you again for your kind assistance. Sandy [email protected] 1.
