Shelly, I have recently made contact with a BRODERICK cousin who has shared photographs taken of our family by the "Boston Photo Company", Holland, Michigan. The photographs were taken in the 1890's. I realized that a little water has gone under the bridge since then, but I was hoping that someone had some information about the company. My ggrandfather, Marcus BRODERICK, was in Hudsonville and Holland for sure between 1886-1893. A daughter, Mary (b.1873), married Bert OLIN and a son, Marcus, Jr. (b.1868), married Anna JOSCELYN. I believe Marcus, Sr. died in Ottawa County about 1891-2. His widow, Aurelia (Armitage) BRODERICK, moved the family to Kenosha, WI, about 1893-5. Any information on these families, BRODERICK, JOSCELYN, and OLIN, would be greatly appreciated.

C & D Anderson, Yes, I do believe Herrick Library has the Holland City News on microfilm. Although I have never tried to access it, I am certain they have most all issues filmed and are probably indexed. The Holland City News had a limited publication in terms of years and I do not recall if it was a weekly or daily paper. -- Shalom in Messiah Yeshua/Jesus, Shelly Low Arnold Holland, MI, USA Researching: ARNOLD, ATWELL, BENNETT, DEWAR, EAS(s)ON, ELDER, GROENMIEJER, LAPO, LOW, NEISH, NETHAWAY, OVERKAMP, PACKER, PLUISTER, ROSENBERG/ROSENBERGER, SCOTT, SOULE, WILCOX (& all early spellings), WHITTEMORE and looking for a connection of ELDER, SCOTT &/or LOW with DUNCAN.

Tom, I have lived here 14 years and never heard of that name. I called Lakewood Photo Co. which has been a staple business in the area for a long time and a person there (who has been in the area a long time) had never heard of them either. What type of photo work do they do? -- Shalom in Messiah Yeshua/Jesus, Shelly Low Arnold Holland, MI, USA (on the Allegan & Ottawa County line bordering beautiful Lake Michigan) Researching: ARNOLD, ATWELL, BENNETT, DEWAR, EAS(s)ON, ELDER, GROENMIEJER, LAPO, LOW, NEISH, NETHAWAY, OVERKAMP, PACKER, PLUISTER, ROSENBERG/ROSENBERGER, SCOTT, SOULE, WILCOX (& all early spellings), WHITTEMORE and looking for a connection of ELDER, SCOTT &/or LOW with DUNCAN.

Does anyone on the list know if the Herrick Library has the Holland City News on microfilm or if some other source may have same. Have found a reference in USGenWeb Archives for an obit for an "Eva Swanson" in the 9/21/1911 issue. This may be the same Eva Swanson who was my gr gr grandmother and a resident of Holland TWP, Ottawa Co. in 1880, living with her daughter and husband, Hans & Emma Anderson. I have been unable to determine her death and it is known that she did not migrate to Montana in 1895 with the Anderson family. No records exist in our family history about this ancestor. Thanks Cliff Anderson [email protected]

Is anyone on the list familiar with a Boston Photo Company in Holland, MI? They don't have a current phone listing. Maybe the company has changed names. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Tom Sisolak

There is a link on the Ottawa County page to the "Ottawa County Township Index for Adult Heads of House 1892-3". Can someone tell me if this is a different census from the 1894 State Census that recorded 'Individual and Agricultural' censuses. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tom Sisolak Fort Worth, TX

Hi everyone! Some of the members of this list (MiOttawa) were planning to attend the MacNet user group meeting back in February. It was cancelled due to the severe weather and rescheduled for THIS FRIDAY EVENING, March 24th, at Davenport College in Holland, Michigan from 7-9 pm. I'll be talking about Genealogy On The Internet. I'm sure many of you could give the talk as well as I, so feel free to come on down and share some info. I'd be pleased to meet you! -- Craig Rich [email protected] (home) http://www.macatawa.org/~crich/ Advertising Sales Consultant, Grand Rapids Business Journal City Council Member/Mayor ProTem - Holland, MI/USA Board Member, Macatawa Area Community Network Board Member, Southwest Michigan Underwater Preserve Scuba Diver, Wreck Searcher, Researcher Genealogist, Listowner: MAYFLOWER-L and RICH-L
