I'm new to the list and would greatly appreciate a lookup in the Detroit death index. Peter Byrne reportedly died in Detroit about 1959. A relative of his in Ireland has helped me much with my Irish research, and I'd like to return the favor by finding his obituary, but first I understand I need his death date. Thanks much to anyone who can help. Diane in Illinois

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Willard CAMERON which was taken at the John H. Ryder Studio in Cleveland, Ohio. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's or early 1900's with Willard noted as 12 years old at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information in census records: 1900 census of Bedford Township, OH: Willard O. CAMERON, age 44, born Aug 1855, married 15 years, born OH, parents born Germany/NY, a Bookkeeper Jennie D. CAMERON, wife, age 38, born Nov 1861, married 15 years, 2 children/2 living, born NY, parents born NY Jennie J. CAMERON, dau, age 14, born Aug 1885, born OH, at School Willard L. CAMERON, son, age 13, born Oct 1896, born OH, at School 1910 census of Bedford Township, OH: Willard L. CAMERON, age 23, married 3 years, born OH, parents born OH/NY, a Merchant Irene E. CAMERON, wife, age 22, married 3 years, no children, born OH, parents born Austria/OH 1920 census of Detroit, MI: - rooming in the home of Elmer & Elsa SWANSON Willard L. CAMERON, age 33, married, born OH, parents born NY, a Motor Products Toolmaker I am hoping to locate someone from Willard's family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

The brothers probably moved to Detroit by themselves in the late 1940's or early 1950's. They are both mentioned in their father's (1952) and grandmother's (Clara May Webb d. 1953) obituaries as living in Detroit. But the trail ends there.

Found this on www.411.com: Melchior, Judith S Age:60-64 19 W James St River Rouge, MI 48218-1380 (313) 841-2136 This is the only listing for that name in River Rouge so maybe they're related. There are others in Michigan so you may want to search on 411.com for the others.

My family lived in Detroit during World War II. We left there and came back to our native West Virginia in 1947. I've been back to visit a couple of times, but that is all. We lived in two locations there - one on Senator Street or Avenue and the other on Church Street. I started kindergarten at Henry Ford Grade School in 1945. I carry pictures of these places in my mind's eye. I would love to communicate with someone who is familiar with these places. > > Also, I am looking for an obituary for Jane Melchior. She was my mom's best friend during those years and they stayed in touch until my mom died in 1975. At that time, Jane was living in River Rouge, Wayne County. She was married to Don Melchior. They had one daughter. I know when that daughter's birthday is, but will withhold that info for security purposes. From the Social Security death index, I believe Jane Melchior died on 25 Jan 2004. Her last known residence then was River Rouge. And the age was right - so I believe I have the right person. > > Joy Stalnaker > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to MIWAYNE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live: Keep your friends up to date with what you do online. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9691815
