Good morning everyone. [12:22 am in Las Vegas, NV] I guess I'm going to try a new 'angle' today. My GG Grand-father supposedly owned a hotel & bar in Whittemore and Turner, Michigan. Is there anyone out there that can do a look up for me? His name was Philip Jacob KLOPP. Philip was married to Ada Mae Viele ca. 1888. Philip died in Turner ca. March 1928. Thank you in advance. Bonnie-Jo Leavitt, OCDS

Try the U.S. Railroad Retirement Board at: www.rrb.gov/geneal.html This Board administers the federal retirement benefit program covering the nation's RR workers. They will provide information from their records on deceased persons for the purpose of genealogical research. They will not release info on persons who are still living without the written consent of that person. In the year 200, the fee for searching their records was $21. Don't know what it is now. You can get further info from: http://www.familytreemagazine.com/nowwhatonline/railroad.html Good luck.

Hi all! I've got an email from a gentleman who says there used to be a text file out there with Alpena County obits through 1990, and the file was named something like nec_A_~1.txt His computer crashed and he no longer has the file and can't find the link to replace it. I can't find anything, but thought I'd put a call out and see if anyone had scurried away the link. Thanks!

She was b. 2/22/1878 and died in June, 1951, and lived on a farm in Spring Grove, IA, until later they sold it. After she d., my gfather lived first with his son (my dad, Harold Raymond Dixon), and then his daughter, Cynthia Gross of E. Moline, IL. William's other children beside Mary, are Susan, William, Jr., and John H.. William Henry Cornall Sr. d. 6/29/1921. Any help on these will be appreciated, or directions to go to get the info. Thanks, George W. Dixon

I did a search for Darling and couldn't find it again. Must be the spelling is off. I would check the Mason Co. area though, I know there are Darlings here and it was very big with trains up until several years ago.

I was searching through the 1900 Census for Michigan, Mason Co. and I think I seen a Joseph Darling the other day. Not for sure, but seems like it was that name. I was sorting through the 1900 page by page. Maybe check that out. Ludington was a huge train hub as we have the Carferries here that took trains back and forth to Wisconsin.
