HI I dont know anything about Tanner but but am related to Ekstroms Nancy

According to the obituary in the St.Charles Chronicle on April 9,1931 the Rev J.David Ekstrom AND the Rev J.Tanner officiated at the service held , for my grandmother, at the Bethlehem Lutheran Church. I know that Rev. Ekstrom was the pastor at this time. Can anyone tell me about Rev Tanner. I have written to the Lutheran archives and they have been unable to tell me about the Rev. Tanner. Could he have been affiliated with another church?

Hi Cidney, Could you look up a Michael George Simon-he was born March 1, 1876 in Bavaria, Germany. Do you need his parents name? If you do here they are: Johann Simon and Margareth Auer-those were the names on his Marriage certificate. Thank you.

Hi Cidney...I would really appreciate it if you.would you look up the surname of St. Germain, which was my gr-gr-grandmother's maiden name. She was born in Quebec and married an American. I would like to check to see if any of her relatives might have become naturalized in Illinois. Thanks very much for your help. Janet [email protected]

Thought I would tell everyone that a little info about women and nauturalizations. For the most part, women couldn't become naturalized on their own until about 1920, if they were married to their man that became naturalized, then she and any children they brought with them also became naturalized. If she married an already naturalized man, then she was automatically naturalized, same for marrying an American born man. I will still look up the woman's maiden name, as other relatives of her's might have been naturlized. Cidney

To all you folks that wanted Kane Co. Naturlizations look ups, it may be a few more days on that, I got to the library tonight and only found one book, there should be 2, of course most of the lookups were for the early book and that is what was missing. Had 2 librarians looking for it and I looked several times, just must have been misfiled as they are reference books, I'll keep going back till they find it.....needless to say, I am pretty mad ! Sorry, Cidney

Cidney - I wonder if you would have time to look up a couple of naturalizations for me which may have taken place in Kane county? My g-grandmother's brother Hamlet HARTLEY b. Westhoughton, England 1838. Immigration dates of 1861, 1862 and 1866 appear on two censuses and his obituary respectively, but he appears on the British census for April 1861 so he certainly didn't arrive before then. On 24 Mar 1868 he was married in Aurora, Kane, Illinois to Sarah MILLS b. Oldham, England 1850 - I have no immigration details for her. Some time after the marriage they moved to Pawnee, NE - first child born there June 1870. I'd be very interested to know if you find any naturalization details for either of these two. Many thanks for your offer of help. Best wishes Margaret (MLFHS 12748) South Wales, UK [email protected]

Please let me know if you have these MEAD's..thanks, Donna Descendants of Arthur Mead 1 Arthur MEAD b: Abt. 1841 in Illinois . +Jennie MAITLAND b: March 08, 1853 in Ontario, Canada m: March 07, 1874 in DeKalb Co., Illinois d: June 07, 1937 Father: James* MAITLAND Mother: Sarah* RENWICK ...... 2 Dwight MEAD

There are also Lehman's around the Paw Paw/Amboy area.

My John Mead family arrived in Squaw Grove Twp, DeKalb Co [on the border of Kane Co] from NY in about 1854. A stroke of good luck has led me to information through the spouse of one child. Anyone else's family member marry a Mead? Elizabeth, called Lib, Mead [John's sister] married a HAZZARD John Mead's children: Edward Mead married ADA DEAN Harvey Mead married SARAH LASHER/ LASKE and had a son, Ira Caroline Mead married WILLIAM DURRELL Jane Mead married ROBERT HADLEY Phoebe Mead married a STEWART/ STUART and had a son John whose daughter or sister Alta married a MARTIN, and a George Stewart married Gladys ? William Mead married JANE ? and had children Nellie, Cooley, Lottie, Puttilie, Walter, and Ralph Are any of these names familiar to anyone? I'd certainly appreciate any bit of information anyone might have. Thanks, Gilda ggkinzer @aol.com

My great grandparents came from Bridgwater-Somerset-England in the early 1830's. I assume they became citizens but have no record of it. I would appreciate a look-up. Thanks, Mary Lou Heal Gdowski--Nebraska

I grew up in DeKalb Co (just west of Kane Co.) and we had neighbors names Lehman. There was both Paul and Charlie. Like us, they moved around some, but were in Milan, Afton, and DeKalb townships in DeKalb Co. from in the 1930's to about 1950. I would assume they were probably born in the 1880's or 90's.

I also would like a lookup in the Germans to America series, preferably on CD-ROM. I would like information on the following surnames: FROMKE, FROEMKE, LENTZ, RABE, and SCHENOVSKY. I appreciate it. There is no hurry. Take your time. Thanks for doing this. If this is too much to do, just let me know.
