Surnames: Gumieny, Gumienna Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JGB.2ACI/680 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on the family of Joseph Gumieny/Gumienna. Catherine G. Gumieny was my husband's great grandmother. I have census info. showing they came to the US 1883 and have census records showing them in Stronach Twp. from 1910 - 1930. I would love to connect with someone who could check records in Manistee Cty. for any birth, death and marriage records there. I know from rootsweb indexes that several of this family were married and died there. Would appreciate hearing from anyone related to any Gumienys or anyone who could help me with lookups. Thanks!

I have a family from Manistee I wonder if anyone can help me out with George Washington Jones b jan 1846 d. 6 Dec 1903 in Stronach Co. George was married to Susannah Walling and had 8 children. Before the last one or two were born he was having children with Sarah Walling. Susannah eventually divorced George and the rumor is that he never married Sarah but they did have 8 children. Then I have heard of a marriage date of July 1880 but no information as to where and we have found nothing on that. Anyway one of George and Sarahs children Helen Mae b. 17 April 1886 was a housekeeper somewhere in Manistee and she became pregnant and had Roy in 1907. She stayed with the family? she was with until the baby was few months old and then went back home. She married Ole Oleson who changed his name to Ole Lindahl. They were married in 1909. The question I have is who is Roys real father??? If anyone has any information at all that can help me I would be grateful. I can find no birth record for Roy. I don't know what the name of the family she lived with was. In the 1900 census Helen is listed with her family so I don't know how long she worked for this other family or if there might be any city census that would be from other years. Thanks for your time.
