Note - Record shows Minnie is the mother of 14 kids with 11 living . --- Minnie Nelson died between 1900 and 1910. By the 1910 Census Thomas is listed as a widower living in a boarding house and the kids are all living away from their father. --- I was not able to find Violet married to Mr. Nertel. I am wondering about the spelling of Nertel. Maybe is was Nartal Nertol Nurtil. --- Do you know what year Violet married the second husband Robert Westfall ? Do you know the city where Robert and Violet lived ? Did Robert and Violet have children together ? - Susan Saginaw, Michigan [email protected] Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
