The oldest relatives in this line Frederick J. Riever born 18 Jul 1854 in Germany. All I have is "Germany", no town or providence. His mother was Wilhelmina Schmidt, but no father's first name. Wilhelmia probably would have been born about 1830. His wife was Willamina Lindo b. 24 Jan 1855 in "Germany" daughter of Frederick Lindo. We may be able to connect some day back in Germany. What providence or township were your family from? LeAnn Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Dan went on to living a clean life and in January had celebrated 19 years of sobriety. During that time he was instrumental in leading others to sobriety. He started his own construction business "Building Your Dreams Into Reality". That is how he lived his life and encouraged others to do the same. Dan became a loving caregiver for his mother during her battle with Alzheimer's disease. During this time Dan! also remarried and became a step-father to Andrew, Ashleigh, Allison and Andrea. He was very involved in their lives and a loving father figure for them. His face would light up whenever he spoke of them. He was very proud of each of them. After a second marriage failed, Dan decided to move back to Florida. He loved to be by the ocean and enjoyed everything about it, especially sailing and the beach. He was currently working at an air force base on a construction contract. On Good Friday, Dan was stricken with a heart attack. His family and friends will miss him dearly but his memory will live on with them forever in their hearts. He was also preceded in death by his loving mother, Mary K. Swanchara; beloved aunt, Lottie Kujawa and close brother-in-law, Paul Nuelken. He is survived by two sisters, Nancy (Jack) Weber and Mary (Phillip) Allen; two brothers, David (Elizabeth) Swanchara and Anthony (Virginia) Swanchara; 12 beloved nieces and nephews and 12 great-nieces and nep! hews.

The reason that the date is listed as 01 Jan 1903 is that the Barry County on line records do not give the actural date of the marriage. You would need to write to the county clerks office for a copy of the marriage record. Would it be okay if we added your email address to the record as a reference for other researchers?
