Could someone see if there was an obit for Anastasia Farquharson. All I have is that she died in 1951. I would like to find if she was connected to my Farquharsons in Muskegan. In fact, any information on any Farquharson after 1930 would be very much appreciated. Barb Smith

The links worked for me. The link that Bill provide was http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~muskegoncounty/Index.htm and I had no problems with it. I know the kind souls who volunteer their time to put this information on line for free work very hard at it. It is a labor of love for them and time consuming. Many of the volunteers have full time jobs. I also found that the link posted for the rootsweb boards work just fine also.

Ray was unmarried in 1920; his age at first marriage (in the 1930 census) is hard to read, but I think it was corrected to say 27 (meaning he was not previously married, considering he married Neva in 1927, at which time he would have been 27). There's just his daughter Wanda and stepdaughter Ruth living with Ray and Neva. I'll attach the census reports that I found on the family. In 1930 they were renting at 521 Jackson Ave. in Muskegon.
