Anyway, I am a Kortas from Toledo, OH. My gr gr grandparents were from Tuchola, Poland. Names were Jan (John) and Anna Kortas. We also had a name change to Curtis, but since it was not legally done, they had to change back. This was done in the 1920s. There was also a spelling change of one brother- Joseph, who went with Kordas. Not sure why. I know that the church records in Toledo spelled our name Kordas a lot. Maybe he got tired of correcting them??!! Contact me at kj_mohr at yahoo for more info. as this is actually my husband's account so I may not get your message right away.

I have a Jan (John) and Anna Kortas that were from Tuchola, Poland, and emigrated to Toledo, OH in 1866. Do you know if your Kortas' were from this area of Poland as well? Funny, we had a name change to Curtis as well. In the early 1900s, the American-born children began using Curtis so that they would have more of an American name. Since they never legally changed it, they had to go back to using Kortas when my grandfather and his brother joined the military. I for one am glad :) I can be contacted at kj_mohr at yahoo, as this is actually my husband's account.

I don't know if they have stones or not, and we've got snow on the ground right now so won't be going out for awhile to check. There are other Robinson's. If you are talking about the book the cemetery put out, it is by no means comprehensive as to the people who are in the cemetery. They just did something to give some history of some of what they considered some of the more interesting people. If you're looking for anyone else, let me know. I have the data base on my computer.

She did not know that they were related to her, so I am guessing her grandfather was not much for family. I think I mentioned that when my great grandmother Josephine died, Valentine Paul left Omaha and remarried in Arkansas. I have a picture of his 2nd wife. Also my Mom remembers going to Arkansas to visit him, so does her cousin. I do know several of my Reis relatives here in town. However I am finding that many of the more distant relatives have passed away. William Reis Sr had a son that was in WWII and somewhere I have newspaper articles about him. I would like to share info with you. My Mom would like to know that I have found something on her famiy. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

We now have over 67,000 names in the marriage index for people who married in Douglas county (_www.omahamarriages.wordpress.com_ (http://www.omahamarriages.wordpress.com) ). They aren't all Douglas county residents and come from surrounding counties, and sometimes much further away. It's still a drop in the bucket compared to the names that will come, as we get help. The names that we have are in the index by both bride and groom's names (at the time of marriage), so that if you are looking for sisters in a family, they're easier to find than just looking for a groom's surname list and hoping to find the sisters by a "find" under every letter of the alphabet. Women who were previously married usually show up under their most recent married name, and only sometimes do the marriage records indicate the maiden name. If the maiden name is given as part of the bride's name, it'll be in the index with her name so a "control find" feature would help locate her. If it isn't given as part of her name, even if parents were listed in the marriage application or signed license, it won't be in the index. Parent's names are not always given on the licenses & applications, but some years are a goldmine for information (such as birth place and current residence) in addition to the expected marriage date & the couple's names. We include names of people who got a license but did not marry (or at least didn't return the license indicating they actually married.). If it happens to be a family member's name, it will at least place them in a time and place, and sometimes give other information, even though they may not have actually married the other party on the license. Happy hunting. The microfilm for marriages are at the W. Dale Clark Library in downtown Omaha from the beginning through about 2002...but later years aren't indexed yet on our site. We need more helpers, or more hours in the day. If you can come help, let me know. If you don't live in Omaha and can't make it in to get copies of your licenses, you can contact G.O.G.S. for assistance in getting copies of the licenses you need. How long it takes depends on how many requests have come in before your request. (_www.gogsmembers.wordpress.com_ (http://www.gogsmembers.wordpress.com) has research information such as address & fees. Any fees beyond actual expenses buy more materials for the genealogy department so it's a win-win situation for everyone in the long run.) We'll also be updating the obit web site in the next few days and some are pre-1900 this week. That time period takes longer for fewer names, but we do seem to get lots of deaths reported for Council Bluffs. Early death notices show up everywhere in the paper, including gossip columns. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have SOMETHING, and have the death date narrowed down to usually within a few days of the death than have nothing at all. That's why in the obit site we include obituaries, cards of thanks, death certificate notices, lodge notices, and bits in the gossip columns (even occasionally a probate notice) that indicate someone died.

I am researching J.B. Jardine (AKA James Burns Jardine) and his family. He was born Dec, 1819 in Glasserton Parish, Wigotwnshire, Scotland.? One source has it that he moved to Yorkshire, England in 1838, and then immigrated to Bucks County, Pennsylvania in 1842.? In Pennsylvania he married Mary Ann Flinton and they had 3 children: James W., Thomas F., and Walter S. The family moved to Omaha, Nebraska in 1868.? James B. Jardine died in Omaha in May, 1896.? His wife died in 1904, also in Omaha.? They are buried in the Forest Lawn Cemetery.? His son Walter founded the Jardine Express Company and was later associated with the Omaha Merchants & Transfer Company. ??? Can anyone claim J.B. Jardine as one of their research interests??
