Hi Robert Thank you again for your response. William James Kohler born in 1915 in Hennepin was my uncle. He has one surviving child presently. However this child has no information on the family history. Ruth A born in 1904 and died 1985 is unfortunately unlikely as in 1904 my grandmother would have been seven years of age. :-) I am sure it is there somewhere but gosh knows where. There was a rumour when i grew up that dad's mother has married about 5 times prior her death. However that seems unlikely as young as I think she was when she died. Is there anyway of ordering marriage records by Surname prior marriage?
