My name is Edward Felstead and I have joined your list from here in England (UK). I would like to correspond with any FELSTEAD's or ancestors of FELSTEAD's. My basic problem is that I have an ancestor who was BORN in AMERICA circa 1839 but RETURNED to the UK where the family line continued. I believe my ancestors parents may have lived in INDIANA and also in your county. Below are brief details of the family I THINK may be involved. WILLIAM (JOHN) FELSTEAD m SARAH GREEN 19/NOV/1811 HERTFORSHIRE,ENGLAND They had TWO sons - EDWARD FELSTEAD b 1815 HERTFORDSHIRE,ENGLAND WILLIAM FELSTEAD b 1819 HERTFORDSHIRE,ENGLAND I believe WILLIAM (JOHN) FELSTEAD and his son WILLIAM FELSTEAD emmigrated to AMERICA but EDWARD did not. I am not sure if SARAH FELSTEAD emmigrated or stayed behind in ENGLAND with EDWARD. There is a record suggesting a JOHN FELSTEAD and a WILLIAM FELSTEAD being NATURALIZED in 1848 in INDIANA - possibly VANDERBURGH COUNTY or ALLEN COUNTY. I believe the son WILLIAM b 1819 in ENGLAND (whose occupation may have been a WEAVER) may have MARRIED or at least had a son in AMERICA - born in 1839. The son's name (yes you've guessed it) was WILLIAM!!! Thus in summary I need to track down a WIILIAM FELSTEAD - born AMERICA 1839. One IMPORTANT POINT - On his MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE,when back in ENGLAND WILLIAM states the following "Born AMERICA (BRITISH SUBJECT). This marriage took place in 1860 in CHESTER,CHESHIRE,ENGLAND. Thus WILLIAM b 1839 in AMERICA never actually became an AMERICAN!! Finally I think there may be a connection with the FELSTEAD's of DETROIT,MICHIGAN but this is a bit tenuous at the moment. Any help you can give me will be most gratefully received. Thank you Edward Felstead West Lancashire England --------------CFBD4E767BF141EE17B4233F--

Brian, I have been following the postings on this cemetery and was wondering what the earliest date was. My Mary MALONE died in this area sometime between 1839 and 1849. If I could find a stone I hopefully would have a date and be able to clear up a lot of questions.

Can anyone tell me where Enumeration District #19 was in 1910? I'm trying to figure out exactly where my great-grandfather was living. His name is Israel Myers. He is listed on the 1910 census in E.D. #19, page 16A. This is Perry Township, but I don't know where exactly in Perry Township. In the 1900 census, he was in E.D. #15. In the 1880 census, he was in E.D. #102. Did the enumeration district numbers change from census year to census year, or was my great-grandfather moving around? He was in Perry Township in all of these censuses. Thanks for your help. Karen

Linda, Could you see if there were any BURNETT OR SHOEMAKER from 1860 - 1865? I am willing to pay for the search. Thank you. Jan JANETSQUAW@aol.com

John, I plan on getting to the cemetery next month sometime to do some clean-up. I don't have a site map of the cemetery so I don't know the basic location but I'll look aroun an get a picture for you . Brian E.

Thank you for the info on Kridler stone. I will look for next time I. Am in Indiana. If you know basic location it would be helpful. John

Barb, The Allen County Public Library does have Fort Wayne City directories. Yours in Christ, Debbie _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Barb, I live in Toledo but have visited ACPL often. They have a great collection of city directories. I am not sure how early they are. Maybe someone else on the list has that info. If you ever get the opportunity to visit Fort Wayne, you should not miss the library. It is a treasure trove. I hope to get there again as soon as tax season is over.

This is the only Kridler on my list list of readable stones of in Hatfield cemetery. It could be that the other Kridlers stones, if they had any, had been knocked down years ago and are now covered up. I've found a few like that by accident :>) as it is illegal in Indiana to probe for stones. I guess the DNR here believes that if you take a stick and push it six inchs into the groud in a cemetery then you are disturbing a gravesite, yet nothing is done to vandals and it's way to easy to move a pioneer cemetery to put a park or parking lot in it's place.

Hello Everyone: When we started reporting on the fraudulent lineages created by Gustave Anjou there were 109 families on the list. As of this posting today that has increased to 305 families with more to come. I urge all of you to look at the pages carefully as some of your lines may need reworking especially if you have traced them back to Europe. The url to access the list is located at. http://www.linkline.com/personal/xymox/fraud/anjousbu.htm There are also other pages located within the Fraud Index located there that will be of great help to you. The very best to all. Harold Oliver Director America's First Families

Hello Everyone! I'm new to researching in Allen County and wonder if someone could let me know if there are City Directories available for Ft. Wayne? Does anyone on the list have access to them? I am specifically interested in the time period of 1921 to 1928, when my missing folks were there. Evidently, between Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, they stopped in Ft. Wayne and had a couple of children. Thank you for your help! Barb "Remember me in the family tree -- my name, my days, my strife; Then I'll ride upon the wings of time and live an endless life."

I am looking for Kridler or Kreidler. I believe these burials took place in 1870 to 1889. Emanuel Kreidler .(unknown but living 1860). Margaret Kridler (perhaps 1889 unknown Women burial) A Chris Kridler was a trustee. However he died in a Milwaukee, WI Veterans hospital in 1907 and is buried there. His son Jesse was buried in Hatfield based on obituary in 1923. An unknown women buried there in 1889. This could have been his mother Margaret. as his wife died in 1875. I did visit site in January 2000.

Forgot to mention before. I also have that listing of tome stone readings here at home, along with before and after pictures of the family sites at Hatfield cemetery that I have cleaned up. I plan on doing a pictural directory of Hatfield cemetery this year. Brian E.

Yes, the cemetery is in real bad shape but not as bad as it used to be thanks to two Cub Scout Packs, one Boy Scout Troop and a Varsity Scout Crew. In Oct. they got about half of the brush, scrub and weeds cleared out. The Varsity Scouts have made a new sign and all these fine young men want to take Hatfield Cemetery on as a yearly project. They will be back this May for more cleaning, along with myself. I was only able to get there once this Winter but was able to clean up one small section and unbury one stone. Hopefully, this Spring and Summer I can do some stone repair and resetting. Their are quite a few that are broken and buried. The Washington township trustee does take care of the lawn but that's about all he has time and money for. Brian E.

I have read all records at the Library. They do not check out in all aspects. Is their another agency that should have records? Given burials as recent as the 1980s indicates somebody does or how could there be new or recent burials. Burial plot records do not agree with listings.

The Hatfield Cemetery is located on Washington Center Road. The cemetery is in real bad shape. The only records are the tomb stone reading done by the Allen County Genealogical Society. See Allen County Look-ups on the Allen Co. GenWeb page. There is a volunteer how will look up what information is available for you.

Hi List, Does anyone have the time to copy a pre 1907 marriage records at the library there in Allen County? I'm researching the STROEDE family line and would like a copy of the marriage record for William STROEDE on July 18, 1893/1895. The indexes list this record for both years being in Book 21, pg. 327. I'm not sure why. But it appears to be the same record. I would of course be happy to reimburse you for your expenses. Very much appreciated, Michelle in Georgia
