Some of the Arnolds are buried on the highest hill in Greenwood Cemetery in Grand Rapids Michigan. See http://www.rootsweb.com/~mikent/cemeteries/walker/greenwood/a.html for more info on them. The people buried on that hill and surrounding hills were, for the most part, all friends and relatives who came from that area in Bohemia (sometimes Czechoslovakia, sometimes Germany, sometimes Austria) and settled together. Of these and other related families, some, too, lived in Chicago in that larger Bohemian settlement, and others in Grand Traverse & Leelanau counties of Michigan. I have a copy of the Blumrich / Herkner genealogy that tells of come of the collective history and would be happy to share other information privately. Nan Schichtel schichtn@gvsu.edu

Surnames: Mead, Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/kFB.2ACE/1560.1 Message Board Post: Eureka! I think we must be related. My great grandfather Henry Clay Mead (b. 1845, Oakland County, MI) was the son of Ed Waite Mead (DOB 1811) and Rachel Marlatte Mead (both were originally from Ohio). Ed was the son of Lewis Mead (1782-1862) and Abigail Waite (I have her dates as 1787-1867). My Lewis is also descendent of Timothy who fought in Am. Rev., whose parents were Timothy and Phoebe Palmer Mead. Does that jibe with your records? Do you know if Lafayette Mead had an older brother named Ed (DOB 1811) who is my great-great grandfather (in some accounts he is listed as "Er" but I believe that to be an error, as my grandfather Fred L. Mead reported his grandfather's name as "Ed" Waite Mead on the death certificate of my his (Fred's) father, Henry Clay Mead.) Henry Clay Mead's son, Frederick Lamont Mead, my grandfather, was born in Ithica, MI in 1872. Later both my grandfather, FL Mead and his father and mother Henry Clay and Elizabeth Mellinger Mead moved to Merri! ll, Wisconsin and died there. HCM also lived in Houghton County in the U.P. of Michigan, and near Lake Itasca in Minnesota. Do you know if you are related to William Mead, who helped found Pa with Wm Penn and who had been a captain in Cromwell's army before becoming a Quaker? They defended themselves at a famous trial in London in 1761 and came to America in 1682. Have you traced the family back that far? I've only gotten as far as Timothy (DOB 1724) and wife Phoebe Palmer. thanks for any information you might share CMR

Seeking information on the parents of Ada Teitsma (b. 1871) in the Netherlands. Emigrated to US in 1882, eventually settling in MI. Married Jacob DeZeeuw in 1888, probably in or near Prosper. Parents of Ada most likely accompanied her to the US. Am interested in their names and if possible their ancestors in Netherlands. Thanks, Barbara
