Joan, I had a similar search for a cemetery. Did you check with the genealogical societies and/or libraries in each area? They might be of some help.

Thanks for looking. Joan

Hi Joan There is a cemetery in Oklahoma that is sometimes refered to as "Lousy Ridge Cemetery" http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jmbc2000/cemetery/union.html Good luck with that one. It took me forever to find Young America! Cris Atwater California

Jan I forgot to mention, this lists the names,dates etc. of early settlers. But if this isnt the right place I found more place that begin with Wolf than I could put here.Wolf Prarie, Wolf Creek, and the lists goes on and on. Cris http://www.macomb.com/~ilmcdono/townships/WalnutGrove1885.html

Hi I found this on Wolf Grove/Walnut Grove Macomb County 1885. Hope this helps some Cris Atwater California http://www.macomb.com/~ilmcdono/townships/WalnutGrove1885.html

There's a forest preserve called Wolf Creek. Sometimes the locals have there own names for towns or places. A New Hampshire relative called her town (and others did it too) Samington in NH when it's really Sanbornton. I've been looking for a place nicknamed Lousy Ridge in Illinois for years. Have no clue even though I know the counties to look in. Joan in Illinois

The only place with Wolf is the town of Wolf Lake.

Hi Debbie - I looked at the 1900 census where the family is listed in Reno Co., Kansas, and Birt is not listed. It states Mary gave birth to 6 children and 5 are living. Maybe there's a mistake on the familysearch site.

Father was Isaac James Abbott; Mother was Mary (Varner) Abbott. Birt was born in KS 18 Jan 1887. I know they were in La Salle Cnty, IL by 1889 because Birt's next 4 sisters ( Alta, Lela, Evva, Ester) were born in IL.

EDGAR was born in Denmark and came to US, under 1. VW. Someone in Illinois maybe remeber him and his family or have a picture of him/them/ and other information? Here is the information about ILLINOIS (and Wayne): From Michigan Deaths 1971-1996, Edgar C. Rasmussen died 5 January 1986. He appears on the 1930 census (the last one released by the federal government) living on Lois Street in Dearborn, Wayne Co., Michigan. He is 38 years old and married. His age at first marriage was 34. He was born in Denmark as were his parents. He works in a boiler factory as an electric mach?-not sure about that-hard to read. His wife's name is May F. and she is 38 years old. Her age at first marriage was 16 and it appears that she has children from her first marriage living with her. They are Clarence Roger age 21 and a widower, born in Illinois and Frances E. Roger, age 15, born in Wisconsin.. It appears that Clarence has a child, Shirley M., female, age 2 born in Illinois. Edgar and May have a son, Edgar D. age 1, born in Illinois. The index to the census lists his age as 11 but Edgar C and May have only been married 5 years using Edgar C. marriage info and age. Someone in Denmark can help me translate, so just write as you speak, please. Hope you can find this family for me. Maybe Edgar D still living? or he got children.

I went to school with a Mark Veverka - in Westchester, Cook Co., Illinois in the 1970's... I looked up the 1930 census and found a LOT of Veverka's in the town's of Cicero and Berwyn, county of Cook, Illinois.. There were 3 pages of them.. Genealogyangel

I just took a quick Spevack search at Heritage Quest. It shows up for 1900,1910, 1920. It shows a lot from Bohemia, would this be considered Czech? If you could supply their birthdates, it would help a lot to identify possibilities. Joan

My ancestor, Albert Spevack is listed as Wojtech Spevacek in Ellis Island database as well as the Czech Immigration Passenger List VII by Leo Baca. Especially looking for siblings of Albert and his wife, Paulene Veverka. A granddaughter of Paulene remembers her saying she immigrated in 1888 to Missouri. Searches in the mentioned databases have turned up nothing. She is one of 13 children. They both settled in Des Moines, Iowa, and some family is known to have settled around Chicago.
