Russell: A little tidbit: My grandfather grew up in both the Mud Creek/St. Libory area and Lively Grove TWP in Wash. Co. He and his sister were orphaned at a young age and guardianship papers were taken out by Georg and Klara Hundelt. I found him on the 1880 census with a son of Georg and Klara listed as laborer. I believe George to have been acquainted with my great grandfather as they were both from Laer, Kingdom of Hannover at the time of emigration. Jerry Timmons Russell D.

I'd like to discuss stuff like marriage, baptismal, funeral practices, history of the area, topography and geography. > > Russell D. James > Milton, Florida > [email protected]
