John Elias was my Great-Grandfather. I know Dennis's wife and two children died on the same day, that I have no info on either. There is not need for you to order the death certificate, as long as I know when and where. His father was Peter Nicklaus Heinen and I knew his mother was a Delaney but not sure of the first name. Peter had married sisters Sarah and Annie. Thank you so much for the info Shari Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

No one in our family knows anything about Nels which is also spelled Nelse. I found informatiton on a census that says he came to the US in 1889 and my mother said she had heard he worked on a ship and "jumped ship" as she put it. He was older when he came here and we know he came from Norway. When family member attempted to search for information in Norway, they were told that he had siblings named Oliver, Daisy and Sophie which were what he named his children. I did not have his date of death so this is helpful! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
