I am just beginning my search for information on my grandfather, Mathew Kononen. He married my grandmother, Hilda Johnson (Johanson at Ellis Isle) Michigan. My mother was born in Detroit in 1929, and Grandfather died March 5, 1939 in San Francisco, apparently from an accident while on duty with the Border Patrol (but I cannot find anything about that). He is buried at the Presidio. I attached the only picture my mother has of him. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to contact me directly at rcwoodard@energysolutions.com Thanks, Rob Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I am now researching this branch of my family, and wondered if you have found any other info on the other Pichette children, who they married or census info, births or deaths? I did not find a birth record for Zeferina, as I did for her siblings, so this is helpful to know her married name and childrens' names. I am researching her Mother, Elidas' family line (Archambeau/Archambault). Thanks, Sue Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
