I checked Newspapers.com, which does have some Everett newspapers. but none that published after 1922, and there was nothing--for Holte, Hill, or Davey. I rechecked the Genealogy Bank 1900-1920 articles for Emma Hill in Seattle and none were your Emma. Marian On Tue, May 19, 2015 at 12:10 AM, Lars E.

Dear Marian and other Listers! Thank you very much, Marian, for your efforts trying to find further references to my Erick and Emma Hill! I regret very much that they just seem to "hide" extremely well, but sooner or later... I have a feeling we need to concentrate further research in the Everett/Stanwood area of Snohomish Co., WA. Maybe they also have a Historical or Genealogical Society? Or maybe land records at the Snohomish Co. courthouse may contain some interesting facts? By the way, Emma's father: * Jacob HOLTE, died at Stanwood, WA May 3, 1899 Emma's brother: * Gotfred HOLTE, died at Stanwood, WA in 1907, but date is missing. Obituaries and or probate records for these two would probably tell us where Emma was "hiding" at that time!? Thanks again to all of you for the wonderful assistance you are giving me in order to solve this "enigma"! Very sincerely yours, Lars E.
