Ah, obviously not my Andreas Christiansen then. My one's wife was Birthe Olsen and children, Karen Johanne, Olava, Anette, Ole, Kristian, and Carl. All except Carl born in Norway, Carl born in NZ. Thanks to you both.

another way is to do a yellow page search for funeral home in that city, then go to their websites and check for that name....   --- On Mon, 5/4/09, Pat <ddshepherds@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Pat <ddshepherds@yahoo.com> Subject: [MI-GENEALOGY] Nee obit lookup for 2007 To: mi-genealogy-l@rootsweb.com Date: Monday, May 4, 2009, 10:28 PM  just found out that an ex brother in law pasted away in 2007 and I would love to have an obit of his.  I am not even sure there was one.  How would I be able to find out what funeral home or cemetery he may be in.  His name was Leonard Paul DePrez.  I believe the last know residence was in Mt.

Nancy, Wow! Thank you for that information. It's a long shot - but needs to be looked at more closely to see if it is one and the same Andreas. We have searched in Australia and New Zealand for Andreas and only recently discovered his emigration record to Michigan. Many thanks again. Gayle

My Gt Grandfather, Andreas Christiansen b August 29 1849 in Runsevolle under Horteie, Norway left in 1881 on the Germanic, destination Bay City, Michigan, (listed as Andreas Kristensen) His wife came to New Zealand with 5 children. We can find no further record of where Andreas went or what happened to him. Where do I start looking in Michigan? Many thanks. Gayle

I was wandering if anyone can help me.   My great aunt Bertha Bolda b. Aug. 31 1892 married Alexander Measel  they had two daughters Lillian b. Jan 31, 1914  d. Nov. 10, 1979 and Esther b. Dec 1,1917 d. Jan 6, 2004.   What I am looking is mainly the date of death for Beatha and maybe more information on Alexander Measel or when they were married.   Thanks for any help on this one. Pat

Beginning to see a pattern with some of my ancestors who died in Kent County of the flu! After looking at those dates for years; now suddenly since we are able to get the death record I find what actually happened and have a closer understanding of that time frame. **************Join ChristianMingle.com® FREE!

Pat Do you have access to Ancestry? There is a Susanna Sawitzka married to John Jacob Bolda with a child Agnes, born 1903, that I think?might be?your people. However there is no mention of Clara. It is listed under Velasco Family Tree, and has an email to contact the person who posted it. If this is the right family, that would give a couple more bits of info to follow up on.
