Hi list, I was wondering if anyone would know if the Allen County Genealogical Society would have pictures from 1872-1880? I am specifically looking for pictures from the Fred Michael Barber Shop around the time of 1872, The Washington House which was located at 121 and 123 Calhoun at the corner of Calhoun and Washington streets around the time of 1875, The Custer House located at 16 and 18 w. Main St. around the time of 1877-1880. My Great Great Grandfather Fredrick Michael owned the Barber shop and The Custer house and was a partner in the Washington house. If anyone has any information I would apreciate it. Thank you Dawn <br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at <a href="http://explorer.msn.com">http://explorer.msn.com</a><br></p>

Terry, Can you access birth records from Ft. Wayne on the Internet? Thanks, Mimi <Memo4Mimi@cs.com>

Located Roux and Perlet family on the 1880 census- George Roux 29, butcher, France Louisa Perlet Roux 29, France Charles, 8, France Michllisae?, 5, Indiana Fred 3, Indiana Anderson, 2, Indiana George 9/12 Sep, Indiana Perlet, Eunnala? 16, sister to Louisa, France Charles is listed as George's son, but George Roux was married to Louisa Perlet in 1874 in Fort Wayne, IN, while Charles was born in 1871 in Alsace. George possibly could have been widowed, but the oral history passed down by Charles's daughters was that Charles came over with his mother, not his father.....the more I discover, the more confused I get!

I must correct myself -- Herbert and "A" divorced before 1923, when he married his second wife, Emma Louise Roth, in Madison County, Indiana. Herbert and "A" Myers' son, Oscar A. Myers, married Dorothy Mae Flanders in 1922. He and Dorothy split up when the depression hit in 1929. Oscar moved to North Carolina, where he married for a second time and apparently had more children. Any information would be appreciated!

Searching for information about a lady whose name we don't know. All we know is that her first name begins with an "A." She married Herbert B. Myers right around 1900. They had one child, Oscar A. Myers. Herbert and "A" divorced after the depression hit in 1929. "A" married a Mr. Dupler after she and Oscar divorced. In 1940, "A" was living in San Francisco, California. I don't know whether she moved there before or after marrying Mr. Dupler. Any help sure would be appreciated! Karen

Can anyone tell me where R.R. 6 in Allen County, Perry Township, would have been (or still is) in 1900? Thanks, Karen

My maiden name was Hoevel and I am related to the Hoevel's who settled in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1837. I am looking for other Hoevel's who might have info from Germany where the Hoevels' originated. I am also looking for anyone who has info. regarding the Kamp, Austermann, McFarland, Welling and Thalman families. Please contact me at mtc@unidial.com. Pat

Hi! If anybody is familiar with the names Cyrus & Elizabeth (Taylor) Hall, please e-mail me. I just found out that they are somehow related to my family! Thank You! L-A

Karen and Gene Thie is from Dutch Ridge Reformed Church Record Book Enoch Garman born Jan 28, 182 Died Mar 27, 1895 Mary (Warmer) Garman Born Aug 1, 182 Died Oct 5, 1906 Enoch Garman Burial Lot No. 13 Salem Reformed Cemetey Hope this helps. Judy

Gene, Another researcher has Jerry Garman's name as Jeremiah Garman. He was born in 1870 and died in 1963. His parents were Enoch Garman and Mary Ellen ("Polly") Warner. I recognize these names from the Dutch Ridge area, which is where my Myers family lived. Karen > This may be helpful to you.

Karen, Thursday I will finish coping the pages in the book. I will send you a list of all the family names and you can tell which ones you would like information on. Here are a few of the first names of the Myers. William, Anna, David, Ed, Charles, Nora, Alpha, Milton, Solomon, Harriett, Mary, Perry and more. It will take me a couple of days to send them to you., Judy

Judy, I would sure love a list of the Myers, Garman, Reinhold, Fredrick and Warners. My Myers line ties in to each of those other names. Any Gloyds?

Karen, The "Dutch Ridge Reformed Church Record Book" has a Jerry Garman listed as an Elder on Dec. 3, 1933. Could this be the Jerry Garman you are looking for. Some of the names in the book are Garman, Reinhold, Myers, Fredrick, Warner, Snyder-Schneider, and others. The earliest date is in 1893. If you want a list of the Myers or any others let me know. My g grandparents Jacob Frank & Ida (Harwood) Snyder and gg grandparents Corolus & Lovina (Kistler) Schneider changed to Snyder and other family members are buried at Dutch Ridge Cemetery. If anyone connects with these families I would like to exchange information with them. Judy

Karen, This may be helpful to you. My family was originally named Garvelmann, changed it to Garbelmann, then to Garman, then to German. They lived in State Center and Marshalltown. Then went to St. John's Lutheran. Referring to Jerry Garman, do you have an approximate birthdate? It could be that he is one of the lost Germans, as there was a Jerald German born about 1890 that we know nothing about.

I have been in touch with another Myers researcher who has added more surnames to my ever-growing list! Does anyone on the list have the following people in their databases? Jerry Garman (married Lilly Myers) William Fredrickson (married Evalena Myers) Mr. Ditmars (married Evalena Myers after William Fredrickson died) Oscar Myers (son of Herbert B. Myers) Ward Reinhold/Rinehold (married to Lilly Garman's daughter -- name unknown) These folks probably lived in Perry Township, as did my Myers ancestors. Thanks! Karen
