I am confused as to whether the mother of his children was Elizabeth Geiger or Maria K (unk) possibly Wentzel or Sentzel. Elizabeth died about the time of the birth of their last child. Nicholas ( a minister ) died 1892 in Monticello and is buried with Maria K. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

If you have a chance to look for an obit I would really appreciate it. Thanks for the link to the naturalization records. I have written the archives and got a copy. It sadly only had the name and age of Peter. The age was off a few year and no other info. Hard to tell if it is him or not. Thanks for the response!

It is much easier to look for obituaries with a death date in hand. The county library has an obituary index for that time period, but is a work in progress. If you post the death date. i will take a lool to see if one was published. If you look on this link you will see a reference to naturalization records for a Peter Johnson. http://joco-ks.genweb.us/county-records/naturalization/index/i-j.html Visit this link to the Johnson County Archives to see how to get copies of the records. http://rta.jocogov.org/archive-services The cost is usually a nominal cost for coping, on a per page basis.

Kansas did not become a state until 1861. The Olathe paper that may have published then was about 2 pages long and had a few news stories and some advertisements only.

Peter's might have where he was born in Sweden. He died in Johnson County after the 1910 but before the 1920 Census. They were living in Shawnee. Deaths records July 1, 1911 are filed with the Kansas Office Vital Statistics. Between 1885 and 1911 records were filed in the City Clerk's office. The Johnson County Genealogical Society and Library, www.johnsoncountykansasgenealogy.org/ has a every name index of each cemetery within the county. You'll have to contact the St. Joseph Cathlic Church, Shawnee, 913-631-5983, www.parishesonline.com/scripts/ about birth records. I didn't find them in the Kansas Historical Society and they were probably sent to the applicable Arch Dieocese. Successful Searching!

By state law, vital records filed with this office are not open for public inspection and the requestor must meet certain eligibility requirements; which is -- must be named on the record, an immediate family member, or someone who can legally prove the record is necessary for the determination of personal or property rights. We allow post 1940 records to be requested by parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts and uncles. Pre-1940 records must be requested by someone with the relationship of at least a cousin. A request without an exact date can be made if enough other information is provided and the name is not a particularly common one (i.e. "John Smith"). By law, the initial $15.00 fee is a five-year record search fee -- one certified copy is issued if the record is found and if not found, the fee is retained. Up to a five-year span can be searched for the $15.00 fee, but it does help to have the date narrowed down as much as possible. statement source - Kama Maruska Office of Vital Statistics kmaruska@kdheks.gov Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
