Dear lister, I have tried to search for Mabel and Ken Zinn on this list earlier (mid-May this year), and received quite a few good responses. Thank you all who responded. However, none that led me to my target. I have recently been informed that the Zinn's were living in Lakewood, New Jersey, at least in 1987, probably the entire period from her retirement in 1976 until 1992. I am searching for Mable and Ken Zinn, and their daughter Laurie Zinn, about whom I have this information: Mabel Zinn was born appr. 1910 in Wadena, Saskatchewan, Canada. Her maiden name was Faust, being the daughter of John Faust (from Sweden) and Lena (maiden surname Varpe from Bremanger in Norway). Mabel had an older sister Anna, born appr. 1904, died in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1987. Mabel and Anna are my father's first cousins. Mabel was a nurse and worked in Angola 1936-1941, and in Brazil until 1946. She married Ken Zinn in Feb. 1946 and lived in New York. Their daughter Laurie was born in July 1947. Later they worked in Washington State, and in 1966 they returned east where Mabel worked in a hospital in South Bronx. She retired in 1976. In 1992 Ken and Mabel Zinn lived in their home in a retirement community in South Central New Jersey, according to her own story told in a Wadena history book in 1992. In her sister Anna's obituary in 1987, Mabel was said to live in Lakewood, New Jersey. Laurie Zinn was reportedly living in the Boston, Mass. area in 1986. She was not married, according to Anna Faust, her aunt. Are there anybody on the list that knows Mable and Ken Zinn or their daughter Laurie Zinn, and can tell me anything further of their whereabouts? Anybody with access to obituaries, phone directories, or any other information, that can take me any further? Awaiting responses in anticipation. Mr. Frode Igland Bergen, Norway (not New Jersey ;-)
