I know this is an extraordinary longshot, but thought I'd check it out anyway. My great-grandfather's second wife was Valentyna (unknown maiden name). He died very soon after marrying her, she died in January 1984. All his possessions she kept and were supposed to go to my grandfather when she passed, but did not. I am only interested in old photographs and letters/documents...what not. The house was evidently supposed to go to my grandfather, too. I am particularly interested in a picture that has my great-grandfather and his first wife at their wedding. He is dressed in a military uniform, she has a beautiful long white dress. It was taken in Poland sometime between 1917 and 1920. Valentyma had 2 children, Albin Wroblewski and Olga Papciak (from obituary for my great-grandfather in 1963). Please, if anyone has any suggestions on where I could begin to search for what happened to my great-grandfather's memorablia...by the way his name was Teofil Jackowski. They lived in Hamtramck when he passed in 1963 and she lived there in 1984 when she passed.

We have 3 relatives buried in this cemetery, St. Michael Catholic. I cannot find out anything about who maintains it. It is a Catholic cemetery. Our 3 relatives are August (Gus) Larson, Herman Larson, and Myrtle Larson. We have visited the cemetery and would like to fix up the 3 graves when we return to Michigan. The whole cemetery is in a sad state of repair. Does anyone know about this cemetery? Thanks.

Tried searching the 1920 index but there was nothing on Everett J. WILLIAMS (in 1920 he would be listed as 4 yo since the census was mostly done in January). Do you know his parents' names? That might help me find him. Do you know where he was later than 1920? RC

Could SKS do a 1920 census lookup for; Everett J. Williams born 10 Oct 1915 in Lansing (Ingham County), MI he would be 5 Thanks in advance, Allison

I am looking for help in pinpointing the date of death for Veronica JURKIEWICZ (nee HOFFMAN). I know that she was born 2 Oct 1876 and died Feb 1968 (SSDI). The online Michigan death index starts in 1971, so it does not help me! Any clues? I would rather send for her death cert to get her parents' names than spend the extra money for her SS-5.

He does not appear in a 1910 index. Do you have more identifying info such as date of birth/age at a certain time, where born, relatives, etc? Is there an alternate spelling for Duffield? He might have been in another state but who would know without more ID? RC Yours: Good Afternoon, Might someone be able to look-up this specific name in the l910 Michigan Census? His name was Lawrence Duffield, we found a burial record showing date of death for him 1914 in Marshall, Calhoun County, MI and that was all they had on him. We would like to locate Lawrence in the l910 Michigan census to gain more comprehensive information on him. We searched l910 Marshall, MI census ~ but didn't seem to locate him ~ so he may be elsewhere in l910 within Michigan. Is this possible? If so we would be very grateful.

HMMMMMMMM 1910 that would fit my quest. If someone has access to the 1910 census would you mind trying to find Freeman LePage listed there. I know that he lived in Saulte Ste Marie in 1920. So if he was there would he not be in the 1910 census? I twould rewy appreciate it all. Be safe Twanda
