I am the granddaughter of Frances May BECK, daughter of Mary Elizabeth BRASH/BRAASH who married Albert Allen BECK. Mary Elizabeth was born 28 Feb 1859 Kane County, Illinois and it is believed to be the daughter of Carl BRASH/BRAASH and Sarah Olive MANUEAL of same area. It is believed that Mary Elizabeth had a sister Mary or Margaret Ann? Mary Elizabeth married Albert Allen BECK 17 Nov 1877 and later moved via Kansas/Arkansas to Pomona, California. If anyone is related to these families, please contact me. Thank you,

Yes there is a Garden Prairie--it is 7 miles straight east of Belvedere on Route 20. My father came to that area after his father died. It is prime farm land. I still have many cousins living in the area--one on Garden Prairie Rd. which bisects Route 20. Grace

Laura, Garden Prairie is still Garden Praire. Started in 1850 with the coming of the railroad when the station was located there. It is an unincorporated village in Bonus Twp, Boone Co., IL. It is on US 20 about a mile from the McHenry County line. Six miles east of Belvidere. (I grew up there.) Dan Branching Out wrote: > Listers, > > Does anyone know of a town called Garden Prairie?

Listers, Does anyone know of a town called Garden Prairie? In an ancestor's 1930 obituary, her son Fred Swanson is listed as living in Garden Prairie. I checked my favorite "locate a county" web site and the only town with that name comes up in another state. There's a possibility for Fred in Campton Township in the 1920 census. Are these two locations near one another? I'm assuming Garden Prairie is now called something else. Does anyone have any ideas? TIA!

a few comments.. 1. Crete is not exactly around the corner from Schaumburg Illinois..it is about 1hour+ and about 65 miles.. 2. It is try that several of the folks from Schaumburg Illinois did go to Minnesota, Nebraska, southern Illinois and one lister on our list is from Iowa.. 3. Schaumburg Illinois was settled in the 1840's by many from Northern Germany, in particular from Schaumburg-Lippe in Hannover. Adjacent to our township ,which is in Cook County, is Hanover township in DuPage County where many came from other areas in Hannover in about the same period. 4. the following rootsweb.com lists are already established for the following.

Dear Listers, Does anyone know if Bethany Lutheran Church parish records include any information on Swedish immigrants coming to the community? My Great-grandfather, Albert Ekblad came in 1901. I have a copy of the parish record from Halmsted, Halland, Sweden, but the name of his birth parish is undecipherable. I am seeking an alternative source for the info. Elizabeth in Fla.

My wife GLENNA MAY PFAHLER had g-uncle and g-aunt FRANK ZENNER b.1858 & AUGUSTA ZENNER (HUCKENBECK) b.1863. I found them in the 1930 Federal Census. Listed with them were 2 sons RALPH b.1919 and HAROLD b.1921. I believe there was a daughter THERESA b.abt 1903. She was not listed in the Census. THERESA was in a picture of the 50th anniversary of EWALD EBBINGHAUS and his wife EMELIA (HUCKENBECK) taken in 1926 in Woodslee Ontario Canada. I would like to get in touch with any living relatives of the ZENNERS. Further information is available on my WebSite: http://www.tribalpages.com/tribes/b1repd54 Any pictures can be enlarged by clicking on them. Thanks very much.

To Marlene from Sand Springs Thank you so much for the information. I will check it out today.

Several of the Ohlemacher family brothers relocated from Sandusky OH to Aurora in the late 1850's and early 1860's. Charles and his wife Elizabeth nee Steppich lived in Aurora from the 1850's to the late 1860's, relocated to TN where Charles died in 1879. Elizabeth returned to Aurora and married a Smith sometime after 1880. Elizabeth died in 1926 and is buried with her second husband in Spring Lake Cemetery, along with two of her adult children from Charles. Charles and Elizabeth's son William was living in Aurora in 1930 in the same house previously occupied by Elizabeth prior to her death. William later relocated to KY where he is buried. Charles' brother Frederick Ohlemacher arrived in Aurora around 1858. He married Clementina Groch of Aurora in 1862. Fred was involved in several occupations from cabinet maker to lime kiln operator. Several of their children were born in Aurora. They returned to Sandusky around 1867. Christian Ohlemacher changed his name to Ohlmacher. He also lived in Aurora for a while as at least one son was born there, in 1867. I'd be interested in any information anyone may have on these families, particularly during the time they were in Aurora. Also, there is a Frederick W. Ohlemacher age 1, interred in the Spring Lake Cemetery in 1872 in plot JE-299. I do not know whose child this is and would like to know if anyone can help me.

I'm looking for the family and ancestors of Samuel Chapman, born in 1816 in Glasgow, Scotland. He came to America with his wife, Margaret Spittal, in 1841. They lived first in Wyoming, NY and in 1844 they moved to Plato township, Kane Co., IL . He died in Oct 1886 in Kane Co., IL. He had 9 children and was a prominent landowner. Frank

I am looking for the parents and siblings of Jane S. MAXWELL born in February 1842, in Illinois. She was married to George Misner on August 28, 1858 in Illinois. She applied for a widows pension in Kane Co, IL. She died after 1907 in Edwards County, KS Frank

I don't have a George in my database but that doesn't mean there wasn't one, especially a little south or east of there. I'd think it worth looking into to see if the family connects to yours. And, because someone is ready to write right now, no...I am not related in any way to the Misners...just did a bit of checking for someone once. Kristy

This is my first posting to the list. I am hoping to find someone researching the families of DEARBORN, SMITH, BARTLETT, WARD, COLCORD from Plymouth, Grafton Co., NH, who migrated to Virgil, Kane Co., IL in 1837. My GGG Grandmother was Eliza Jane Dearborn who was Married to Frank Perkins Smith. She was born in Plymouth, New Hampshire on October 24, 1805 to Samuel Dearborn and Elizabeth Bartlett. She was married to Frank Perkins Smith on May 07, 1829 in Plymouth, NH and they had 8 children. In 1837 they moved to Kane Co., Illinois, where they were one of the founding families of the town of Virgil. I have lots of information on descendents that I would like to share and would like to learn more about these families and their ancestors. Frank Cullison
