Hi, I finally found this census record and I believe it to be a family I have been searching for forever. We know that in the 1905 directory Matthew and his wife (married in 1902) and child lived on Lake Linden Avenue. 1900 - Houghton Co., Michigan (Florida Addition) {Lake Linden Ave} Kramer, August? - Head - b. June 1857 - age 42 - Widowed - b. Ger - Father b. Ger Mother b. Ger - Occupation: Locomotive (unreadable) - Owned home - Imm. 1878 - in US for 22 years - Naturalized. Kramer, Matthew - Son - b. May 1882 - age 18 - Single - b. MI - Occ. Mine Laborer Kramer, Leo - Son - b. Sept 1888 - age 11 - Single - b. MI - At School I am hoping that someone else may have looked into this particular family before and may have some input as to the elder Kramer's first name. "August" is a close approximation to the almost illegible handwriting. Appreciate any help! Nora
