Surnames: Thomas, Donnenworth, Baker, Beeker/Bueker Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IGB.2ACI/168 Message Board Post: I am searching for family members of ggrandfather, John Thomas, born August 17, 1848 in Mt. Clemens. I'm not sure if his given name was John or Napoleon, however, he was commonly known as John. When he was about 12 years old, he moved to Saginaw County. He married a Josephine Baker in 1874, and later, possibly a Mary Donnenworth. His children include: Robert, Edmond, William A.(Archie?),Napoleon, Nellie, and Minnie. He died in 1936 in Taymouth Township, Saginaw County. I do not know if he had any brothers or sisters, or even what his parents' names were. This is where my brick wall begins. Are there birth records available for these early years? Do any of these names sound familiar? (Napoleon and Robert keep popping up.) If anyone can provide any information or leads, I would be forever grateful. Thanks. Karin
