A few of the Muskegon-L subscribers are meeting at the Hackley Library on the 24th of this month at 10:00 AM for a day of research, lunch, and fellowship. If anyone on the Ottawa list wants to join us they'd be more than welcome! After the library we are going to lunch nearby and then over to the courthouse. Please e-mail me if you are interested.

Posted on: Ottawa Co., Michigan Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mi/Ottawa?read=627 Surname: Fuller, Alverson ------------------------- Buddy-- I was happy to hear from you and learn that someone else is researching the Alversons and Fullers in Ottawa county. I dont recall exactly what I posted last fall, but I have some information that may help you. At the Herrick Public Library in Holland, there is a card file for Holland City deaths, and I found Simon David Alverson therein (Im a lawyer so please excuse the legalese). His father was given as Alvin Alverson, b. NY, and his mother as Marie Van Brocklin, b. Netherlands. Simon, his wife Frances, and Rev. A.A. Alverson are all buried in Pilgrim Home Cemetery. They are in different plots, which does suggest that Frances remarried, but I found her listed as Alverson. Also buried there is Mrs. A. A. Alverson, d. 1920, and A.A. Alverson, infant, d. 1892. The cemetery book and another of tombstone inscriptions are both at Herrick. Rev. A.A.s dates were listed as 1848-1923, and Rev. S.D.s dates as 1862-1931. The death record on Simon lists his occupation as prison evangelist. This makes me speculate that Simon met Frances at the state prison where her grandfather was incarcerated. I have information on the trial of her grandfather, John, and her father, Melvin. Im still in the process of confirming links through another of Melvins children. Your mothers siblings, at least those that survived her, would likely be listed in her obituary. Do you still live in the Holland area? By the way, what is your fathers full name? I have added you and your siblings to my genealogy program and hope I can get more details in the future. Good luck and kee in touch! Stephanie Martineau

Someone who is on both the Ottawa Co. and Muskegon Co. lists has a virus! Please be careful when opening mail from Charlie Schaefer. I know it's not his fault but I had to quickly delete some e-mail that his computer sent me and probably everyone else in his online address book.

I have only been searching in genealogy for 2 years, and have just begun to ask for help through the internet. I must say, I have had more success from wonderful volunteers, than any of my searches as an individual. Primarily because my family's "recall" is so far off. I realize the obit could possibly be inaccurate, but it could also explain why I've not been able to locate this elusive ggfather. Thank you Debbie for opening new doors.
