    1. [MIHOUGHT] Re: James LANG and Laura ERMATINGER
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: LANG LAWLER LAWLOR ERMATINGER MCCORMACK Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2FB.2ACI/1893.1.1 Message Board Post: James is with his family in Calumet, ED 9, page 50 in 1880. His father was also James and his grandfather was Patrick. I can trace Patrick and the rest of the family back to 1850 in New York, after they immigrated from County Kerry, Ireland. I didn't look at the LDS census records for 1880, since I already had the information, but many times the name is incorrectly indexed as "Long." The whole family and the censuses are on my website: http://myheritagesite.com under the LANG section. James was my mother's uncle, and she always knew him as a bachelor. There was a rumor that he had married once. The only census where I can't find him is the 1910 census, just at the time when he would have been married to Laura ERMATINGER. In 1900, he is with his parents, and in 1920, he is back with them and listed as single. His Calumet/Hecla employment record from 1916 says "wife's name, if living" and Laura is listed; however, there is also a check above "widowed," so I'm guessing she died before he was back with his parents in 1920? I sure would love to find James and Laura in 1910, and, hopefully, find out more about her.
