    3. I am sorry I have not used this site before. Simon Press was born in Markham Ontario Canada and was married to Mary Ann Rumohr or Remore. The family came to Michigan some time around 1875 and we have his death in Michigan. His wife Mary Ann Rumohr death 5 Jan 1882 Fairgrove Tuscola Michigan . They had 8 children which one of them is my great grandfather Francis W Press birth is 23 May 1873 Ontarion Canada, death 4 March Ellington Tuscola Michigan. Came to USA around 1875 - 1877 and he was married to Mary Bell Benjamin of Almer Twp Tuscola Caro Michigan. Her parents were George Benjamin birth in Geauge Ohio and his death 11 May 1913 in Columbia Tuscola Co Michigan and his wife was Lura Bardwell she was born in New York Nov 1853 and I have no death on her, but found on your site their marriage and some of their childrens marriages. So thank you for having that, I was tickled to find it. Francis and Mary Bell Benjamin had 6 children that we found. And it looks like all were born in Michigan some in Caro Michigan. My grandfather Harry Press being one of their children. I was born in Michigan, but no longer live there so it is hard for me to get some info. I do know that many of the Press family is buried I belive in Caro Michigan, my mother said they would go to the cemetery when they would go to some big fair there. She said they had a section with the graves and gravestones, said it was old. I have alot of info on the Press family and those who married into it, and pictures if any one would be interested. I looked for a place to add some photos to your site but did not see where I could. Also have census and some other data on them. Also have tree on ancestry. Thank You Debbie debbastra@yahoo.com
