As one volunteer to hopefully another one, I wonder if someone could help me with a patron I had yesterday at the library. She is a cancer patient, that is undergoing treatment and carries her oxygen with her.... She has a wish to know where her Great-Great Grandfather died and hopefully is buried. She is a very nice woman. I have given her "homework" of collecting her papers and coming back to see me hopefully next Monday, I plan to bring my lunch so I can stay longer. (I am sure you know what I am talking about!) She had been to the Buffalo Library at one time, and did get to look at the Buffalo City Directories. She found the couple in the 1893 directory and in the 1896 directory the wife is only listed. (sorry I did not copy that address) I figure that is the window the man died. Both individuals would have been in their late 60s then. The family story/documents show the family was in the "Buffalo area" "after arriving in the US " in the 1850s from Germany. They had 3 children (per the 1870 census) in New York and then moved to Michigan and had 2 children: about 1866 and 1869. Sometime after 1880 they moved back to "Buffalo" and then the husband died. I suspect they might have had a married daughter there and were living with that family. My patron did not have full information and could not remember if she knew the married names of female ancestors. She didn't seem to know where the wife, Fredreka is buried. (I suspect Buffalo area) Didn't press her anymore. The individuals: John ROSE (also spelled Roos) Fredrica " Eddie " Anna " Willie " Henry " Lydia " Albert " as seen in the 1870 Census: Michigan-Macomb County-Macomb Twp Page 19 In the 1880 Census: Michigan-Macomb County-Macomb Twp they are listed: John ROOS Fedreka " Emma " William " Henry " Lydia " Berty " Do you have any indexes for death's during the 1890s in Buffalo? Do you have any cemetery readings indexes, for the late 1890s? What are the possibilities of getting a death record of John "Rose" for the late 1890s--at the Buffalo City Hall? Any help you could give me would be helpful. Thank you. Susanne Michigan

I know this isn't what you were looking for, but I think I may have found the family in Amherst, Erie, NY in 1860: Roll: M653_750, Page: 477 Dwelling 1755, family 1716 Ras Family: John, 39, shoemaker, Wurtemburg Fredrica, 34, Saxony Ida, 15, Saxony Amy, 11, Saxony Hermon, 7, Saxony Emma, 5, Saxony Edda, (male) 4, Saxony Anna, 2, Saxony Baby, 3/12, NY (originally there was a " in this column as in the ones above, but it was replaced with NY) I know there's a lot more kids, but it does look like Eddy, Anna, and William at the end. Emma Rose, who isn't with the family in 1870, but is again in 1880, could be this person: Shelby, Macomb, MI Roll: M593_688 Page: 80 Image: 555 Rose, Emma, 15, Domestic, born NY, both parents of foreign birth In household of Nelson Price.
