I am looking for a Janice Bradford who is my sister in law's mother. She would have been born in the early 1920's and I'm told she is dead. She did remarry so the last name could be anything. I did, as you did, and looked at the SSDI for someone named Janice whose birthdate was in the correct date range and Ihave been able to eliminate a couple. I am working on the "jusick" name now. The "Winchell" name-her maiden name is Whitney. I believe the Janice I am looking for also is the daughter of Ralph Bradford and Gladys Sprague in Jackson Mi. I could be wrong but I can't disprove that right now. My father in law was from Detroit and apparently married someone from Michigan. Maybe even though we are talking of 2 different Janices, we can help each other eliminate the wrong ones. hope to hear from you soon, thanks, Jimmie Staley

The best data I have is from the 1920 Census. when my grandfather, Fred Wilcox was living with his sister, Mary Wilcox, at the house of my grandmother: Irene Gladys Wilcox Clark, in Battle Creek. Fred and Mary both state that they were born in MI, and that their parents were both from NY. My late father had an unsure memory that Fred was from the Lansing area, either Ingham or Eaton counties. Fred has been a stumbling block for several years... :-)

I appreciate your telling me about it. Jim, I looked at your posting history and I, too, have the surname Wilcox in my family. I am pretty close to finding the family of my Ann Maria Wilcox, who is on my mother's side. The Clarks were on my father's side, but I have Clarks on both sides. My Ann Maria Wilcox might have been one of twelve children. I know she had a brother Frank who worked on the railroad in Indiana, and the youngest might have been Hess Wilcox, according to someone who recently contacted me and descends from the youngest of the twelve. I have a beautifully written (but too scrolling!) marriage record, and her father's name was spell three different ways on the same beautiful page! The mother's name was only written one time, but it is difficult to decipher. Therefore, I know that her parents were Halobert/Halabuud/Halabund/Halaboo Wilcox and Jennie/Jenine/Jeniue (?). The third witness besides her parents was Jane Wilcox. My great-great-grandparents: Ann Maria Wilcox: b. 26 Feb. 1824, Walkerton, St. Joseph Co., IN; d. 19 March 1874, Chesterton, St. Joseph Co., IN; m. 14 December 1840, St. Mary's Twp., Mercer Co., OH to James Lewis Beaty: b. 20 Nov. 1819, Stark Co., OH (Probably Massillon); d. 17 Oct. 1888, South Bend, St. Joseph Co., IN.

Your father did leave a paper trail. You just have to know how to find it and then be willing to follow it up. First, I take it that you already have a copy of his application for a Social Security card which gave you your grandparents names and your father's birth date. If your father is dead, you should be able to get his birth cert. from PA. Go to the USGenWeb for PA and Detroit, MI and find the local Geneology Group there and also the address of the local library also the court house. Wrtie to the library there and ask them to make a copy of the page or pages of the city directory and phone book for the Hodges that were living there in 1956 or the closest year that they have. Also do some math and figure out what year you dad would have been in Jr or High School in Detroit and ask if someone is willing to look in the year books to see if he was attending school there, and they may have a! picture. This might take some extra time, so you might ask for a volunteer to do this, if possible. You have some nice pictures too, but one of them is so dark you can't see the people. Have someone scan it for you and lighten it up so you can see the people better. Also crop the pictures so you can get a nice closeup of their faces. Someone out there knows some of these people. Now you have to be able to get those pictures in front of the public so someone will reconize them and contact you. You can write to the local geneology group and ask if it is possible to print their pictures in their local newsletter or magazine along with your story. You can do this for both Detroit and PA. You can also check with the local newspapers in those areas to see if they have put in a special section once in a while for pictures. Our paper does and people usually use it for congraduating seniors, 50 wedding anv. annoicements and things like that, but you could use if to post t! hose great pictures you have, with a caption like, If you know these p eople, please contact family member ect. You've proply seen them saying "lordy, lordy, look whose 40. It's just another way to get those pictures out infront of people. Check to see if you dad was ever in jail in MI. The information is at the state achieves and on the web, I believe you have to go to Google and put in Michigan Corrections. I can check if that is wrong. If your grandparents were living in Detroit in 1956 they may have died there. Check the Social Security Death index for those names. You can also ask the library in Detroit if they have a resent death index. If you can find them, then you can get their death certificates, obituaries and just maybe some other information of the other family members. Those are really nice pictures that you have, I left a picture once in the library just on a table with some information on it along with my address. The librarian read it and called me up, another person had just been to the library researching that very ! family and they had left their address. Small world sometimes or maybe we are just getting some extra help now and then. Good luck on your search. You may or may not be able to find them, but at least you will be able to say that you gave it a good try.

Interesting that a George Maute stood up for Sarah and John. George Maute was the name of louisa R. Maute Sager Horning's father. These families are either related in some way, or were close friends that came over from Germany together and settled near each other. As in many cases, their families inter-married over time. I will check and see what I can uncover about your John, if I infact do have anything on him in my files. Interesting! The population of Grass Lake never exceded 1000 souls. Mostly German. Seemed to be a close knit group of farmers, most were farmers. If you learn anything, I would be glad to hear from you and share what I have. Is this Jacob Horning line, yours? Joan

He was born August 1837 in Germany and apparently lived in Manchester, Washtenaw Co., in the 1860's before moving to the Grass Lake area some time after the Civil War. He married Sarah Matilda Davidson in 1868 and George Maute served as a witness to their marriage. There is a Jacob Horning living in Grass Lake in 1900 who was born Sept. 1830 in Germany. Jacob moved from Manchester as well and I suspect he may be an older brother to John Horning. John Horning didn't have any children named William as far as I can tell, however, Jacob Horning had a son named William who was born Jan. 1870. Perhaps this is your William Horning??
