Surnames: Sibilsky, Messner Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.houghton/4669.3.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I have a Selma (aka Sarah) Sibilsky born ca 1849 WI to a Christian Sibilsky born Germany/Baden. By 1870 she is living with her husband Christian Messner, born Saxony/Wurtenberg at Eagle River. In 1880 Christian and Selma were living in Houghton Township, Keewenaw county. By 1900 she was a widow living in Osceloa Twp. with her son, and his family. I suspect Selma/Sarah moved to Keweenaw with her parents. Let me know if you think Christian Sibilsky might fit in with your line. Cat Nielsen
