Surnames: Iffland Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/mFB.2ACE/2646 Message Board Post: My great grandmother was Nellie Lucille Iffland, born in Port Townsend, Washington in 1887. I am looking for any information on her family. Her father was August Wilhelm (changed to John when he came to the US in 1881) and her mother was Lisette Lenz Iffland. She had 5 sisters named Louise (born in Germany), Johanna (born in Germany), Frieda (born in Ohio), Katherine (born in Washington) and Ruby (born in Washington). She had 1 brother William (born and died in Germany). If anyone has any information on any of these people, please help.

A check of the work, Gravestones of Lenawee County, done by Adrian DAR and Harriet Bowen in the 1930 to 40 era finds: Jesse Russell, born May 24, 1797 died April 3, 1885 Catherine, wife of Jesse, born October 11, 1881 (obvious error here) died. May 30, 1895. Infant Children of J & C: Manerva & Esther All buried in Cambridge as you indicate. There may be additional information the headstones, but usually Harriet did record maiden names found. A trip to the cemetery may turn up more info, but it is snow covered at this time and a bit chilly out there! >G>G>G>G> I did not find Catherine's name in the Death INdex for vital records of Lenawee, I looked in deate of death column as well as names. An obit was found in the Wed. June 5, 1895 issue of the Michigan Messenger: Mrs. Catherine Russell, a venerable lady living at the home of her son, Jacob Russell, at Onsted, was found dead in bed Friday. She had been an invalid for several years. Mrs. Russell was born October 11, 1800, being in her 95th year. She was the mother of Rev. John Russell, the well known prohibitionist. Five children survive her, Rev. John and Rev. Jesse, Jacob, Isaac, residing in Alma and Mrs. Silas Aldrich, of Cambridge. (This transcription was found in the work: Marriages, Births, Deaths and Miscellaneous News Items Transcribed from the Michigan Messenger, Vol 11, 1894 - 1895, Housed at Adrian Public Library, Presented by Lenawee County Family Researchers, a Genealogical Society, 2003 If you have not already done so, you might want to search sideways, see what you can find on her children's death notices/records/obits. They might mention her maiden name.

I am researching Vaara, from Norway to Minnesota (late 1800's), to Washington, Oregon and Alaska. Many settled in Washington.

My line of Robinsons are Metis out of Quebec. The first Robinson (also Robertson in Canada) I have is a Mulatto slave out of Scotland who was brought to Quebec and emancipated. He took an Ottawa woman as a wife. These were my original Robinsons. When the name change occured is open to debate.

That census has only age groups. Does not list ladies by name, unless they happen to be a head of household. There is a John Ousterhout in Ridgeway, 2 males 10 to 21. 1 male 45 to 75. 1 female 45 to 75 hope that helps.

I would love to know the age of this John. Someone sent me the lead on the internet that a John Osterhout was in that index. I would appreciate this help so much.
