Looking for information on a girl who was said to be Grace Pearl Shamblin, unk further except the picture may have been taken in Omaha in 1920's or 1930's, she was about the age of 1ish or just a little bit more but less than (2) yrs. old. Was said on the photo on back Cousin of Martha Ann (Scott) Smith wife of Temple Smith of Frontier, McPherson, and then Lincoln Co's of NE in the 1880's.

Just to keep folks aware of how things are progressing with Family Search indexing. Several of us have started getting Dawes county in the 1900 census pages to index the last day or two, and fewer from Custer county (maybe it's done now). If you can spare an hour or two, come do a couple pages. It'll help make more records available for everybody to use (and most of the material will be free as the indexing is completed. There will be some record repositories that want to retain ownership rights & sell the copies of things like certificates, and such, but the kind of indexes we're doing are going to be such a great help!!!) Just as anybody is going to be able to use the indexes when they're done & access records, anybody can do the indexing. Membership in the Mormon Church isn't required. All you need is a computer with internet access and the willingness to come help. Some of the folks at the Greater Omaha Genealogical Society meeting the other night reported that they've each done a lot of pages to help make more records available so that we can all find more ancestors. And it is exciting to see the progress. Karen ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Maybe someone can help me figure this out: For several years, I have been searching for informaton on CHARLES NELSON THOMPSON, birth date unknown - ca 1810 - 1840, death date believed to be between 1890 and 1895. I have checked out all the Charles Thompson's in St. Louis Mo and a few in NE and none match up. I don't have a marriage date for Charles and his wife EVA. I have searched everywhere, Eva lived in St. Louis, Mo and was there in the mid 1880's and was divorced from a previous husband. I think possibly, she was in Omaha shortly after 1885. She was born in 1854 and fudged on her age in everything I have found. I always thought if a woman was listed in the City directory as MRS, then she was probably a widow, but maybe not! I am basing the Omaha info. on the fact that Eva is listed in 1890/91 Business Directory for Omaha Nebraska State Gazetteer: Mrs. Eva C. Thompson, prop. Thompson Spa. 1021-1022 NYLIF bldg. Omaha Nebraska 1890 - Eva C. Thompson is listed as living at 1528 N. 19th in Omaha City Directory in 1890. No other family members appear. Eva is working at Festner Ptg. company as a folder in 1890. 1892 - Eva Thompson appears before Notory on May 15 1892 for her mother , who is living with her for Pension paperwork. Address Omaha, NE 1894 - Eva's Sister married in June 1894 in Omaha and Eva was there as Eva Thompson, witness. Charles Thompson was not the other witness June 1 1895 - EVa's mother (also from St. Louis) is still in Omaha NEB, probably living with Eva Aug 14 1895 - Pension papers are sent to the mother at: 1601 Olive St. St. Louis, Mo. which is also now the address of Mrs. Eva Thompson. Thereafter in the St. Louis directories, she is listed as Eva C. Thompson, widow of Charles N. Thompson. I just found a obit in the St. Louis post for a CHARLES N. THOMAS, who died at St. Joseph's Hospital in Omaha Nebraska on April 6 1894 and was buried at Sts Peter and Paul Cemetery in St. Louis MO. Eva is not buried there. ( I lost her after 1905 - she may have remarried) I don't know if this is a coincidence with the names or if the Obit had the name spelled wrong, which I think would be unlikely. Of course there is no other information in this obit, only that he was 71, which meant it was born abt 1823, which would fit the time frame. Would any death record be available in Omaha or the State of NE for a death record for April 6 1894? Thanks Pat

For those who are interested in Family Search Indexing the 1900 census for Nebraska: it was put up today. I just downloaded a page from Custer county. They ask only that you do a page a week, and you can do as many as you want. Each page is done twice, and checked by an arbitrator, so it'll be as good an index as humans can make it (they figure they have about a 99.7% accuracy to what the census taker wrote down--if the census taker didn't get it right, that's not their fault.) To access Nebraska pages once you get on the indexing site, you have to click on the right hand button that allows you to select the project you are willing to work on. Come help! The censuses will be available for free when the indexing is done. Much of the rest will be, though some of the record owners are asking that they retain jurisdiction over their records and may charge a small fee to get copies. We'll soon all be finding more ancestors.

I did find information from a directory that Julius was a shoemaker in 1890,in South Omaha,but this was the last bit information I have found.He would have been about 66 years old in 1890. I am continuing my search in hopes of getting more info for my mother-in-law,as she also continues hers,we just seem to have hit a roadblock!

Finding the obituary would be easier if you know an exact date of death and/or burial--and the name under which she died. Since you know the cemetery where she's buried, I would suggest you contact the cemetery for this information and then pursue the obituary. ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <NEDOUGLA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 10:18 PM Subject: [NEDOUGLA] obituary look-up for Matilda Maccagnan > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: stacyrenee4 > Surnames: Brauner, Linhart, Wilson, Maccagnan, Lemm > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.nebraska.counties.douglas/4795/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > I was wondering if while anyone is at the downtown library they could look > up an obituary for Matilda Maccagnan for me?

I'm wondering if you know when and where Minna and Herman were married? I ask because Herman is the only passenger on the List with the surname Geiler, but there is a female passenger named Minna Gorner. There are four others of the Gorner surname on this voyage, the eldest male, Julius, age 47; eldest female, Juliane, age 43; 2 female children; and Minna. A brief search for Julius Gorner indicates he was from Saxony and that he and his family lived in Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska.
