No, I believe Frieda's maiden name was Kammann/Kamman and she came from Illinois. That's the Frieda I'm looking for and also her family. She and her husband, Claude, had at least one child, William. He's listed in the 1930 census as being under 2 years of age. Thanks for your response.

Ernestine, Could this Frieda possibly be related to folks from Massachusetts? I have never seen this name used before other than in my files and I have a Freda that was married to a Robert and had the following children: Dorothy (S?) Freda, Walter M and Helen R. I have a last name for them but to protect anyone's identity, I will withhold at this time. If this seems to be a match, please contact me privately for additional info.

Hello, I found Claude and Frieda Rogers in the 1930 census, residing in Ann Arbor. However, I can't make out the name of the street. I would also like to get suggestions as to where I could find obits/death notices for these two individuals. According to the SSDI Frieda died in August 1968 in Ann Arbor. Any other information about them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ernestine Wark, NJ

If you have not sent in your registration for the Eaton County Genealogical Society Seminar on 17 April 2004. Fawne was with us last year and we had many requests to bring her back so that she could share some more of her wonderful information and insight with us. I would ask that you forward this to your friends that might be interested. Seating will be limited so don't miss out. The deadline has been extended until April 10th. After that date you should check for availability. Go to our website at <http://www.rootsweb.com/~miecgs/workshop2004.htm> for further information. This year's annual workshop is sure to be a full day of important information. Both primary records and online sources will be discussed at length. Prepare yourself now for a summer of research by arming yourself with the most up-to-date information. CROWN LAND RECORDS For those who attended last year's workshop and heard Fawne speak on Land Registry Office records you will know the importance of understanding land records. This year Fawne will tell us all about crown land records - those lands that brought immigrants to a new world in search of free government land! For those who did not attend last year but have those ancestors that you cannot find before they come to Michigan, they may well have spent time in Ontario working for a grant of crown land to no avail before coming here. Many thousands of early settlers in the province inhabited crown lands through renting, leasing, squatting, government grants and sales. However, hundreds and even thousands of these early settlers never received the actual patent to the land from the government. Fortunately, records of the initial request for land, or attempts to settle crown land were still generated. In some instances, these records represent the only evidence of a settler's existence in the province before they died or moved on to other areas of Canada or the US. This discussion will provide researchers with a sound understanding of the land granting process, the availability of a variety of crown land records and resources. This is an important source of records for anyone doing Ontario research. USING MAPS IN FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH Maps are critical research tools for family history research. Maps both old and new are important resources to help researchers track down facts about their families; offer the names of individual landowners or residents; show the location of a home on a specific lot; illustrate the relationship of settlers to local institutions; reveal changing place names and; even show changes in the boundaries of nations, provinces, counties, administrative areas (important to early record keeping). An understanding of geographic locations and the relationships illustrated with maps will help family historians locate potential sources of records about their families. This lecture will both explain and visually illustrate the importance of maps for family history research. By attending this year's workshop you will also have an opportunity to see copies of rare Ontario maps. ONLINE SOURCES FOR FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH Are you trying to do your research online? This session will provide an overview of helpful online resources for researching your family history. Particular attention is given to finding primary sources online and information for those searching in the ancestral homelands of England, Ireland, Scotland and Europe. What tools are there to help you? What obstacles will you encounter? What pitfalls should you watch for? Discover how to connect your primary research with online resources and information. Due to the popularity of this lecture, it has been expanded beyond the 1 hour allotted during the workshop which means participants will receive even more valuable information than originally planned. It also means the schedule for the day could run a little bit over. Don't miss this important information to help you search online effectively! FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH IN THE 21ST CENTURY Today we stand as participants and witnesses to the infant years of a new century and a new millennium. In the same way that technology has revolutionized the way we live, the hobby (or should we say "obsession") of family history is also in the throws of revolutionary change. But what does this mean to the way in which we conduct our research? More importantly, what will be the legacy of modern family historians for future generations? This session is designed to help researchers identify and balance the information and resources available both online and in traditional institutions in order to make the most of them and ensure that our family history research is a lasting legacy for future generations

Hello, I am looking for information on Dimon Roberts : Nov. 01, 1866 Greene Chenango Co. NY and his wife Grace Edna Weichard. They were last known to live at 43 So. Summit St., Ypsilanti, Mich. sometime around 1918 - 1921 according to Amherst College information. Dimon was a member of the Preparedness Board Washtenaw Co., Mich during WWI. My guess is that Dimon, and possibly Grace were involved with education in the area as well since he was a well trained teacher and administrator having been a principle in Pueblo Colorado and superintendant at Winona Normal School in Wininona Minn. prior to going to Ypsilanti. I have no clue if they had children or if they relocated after the last known address. Also, any chance there are photos of the home listed above? Thanks in advance, John Stark

Kenny, Ann Arbor, MI is in Washtenaw Co.

Dexter researchers, Back in 1851, two ancestors from different lines, happened to be in George Hayes Dry Goods store on the same day. Does anyone have any more information about that store? I already have found the account books; that is how I found they visited on the same day. Does anyone know anything about the proprietor? Is there a photograph anywhere? Where was it in Dexter? In town? How long was it in business? That sort of thing. Any help you can provide, I would certainly appreciate. --Ed Day __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
