Carole, Since you are dealing with a German Russian why not try the German Russian Society in Lincoln, NE? They have so much documentation. I have found many immigration records through their publications. Send an email to them and ask for help. I have a cousin working there plus other friends. Another location you might look is the Messer Website for immigrants from that area. Ray On Jan 6, 2006, at 12:19 PM, carole lubbers wrote: > I am out of ideas and places to search.

Try posting to the Peoria County Rootsweb message board. I posted a request for a death lookup on the board in Sept, and within a day, had a response from one of the people who works with the County courthouse to respond to such requests. She was able to do the lookup and then tell me how to request the record from the courthouse, and then personally resp\onded to the request when it arrived! Good luck!

Hi Carole In Georgia Did any of your LAUBACH family members go by LAUBACHER? I am related to the LAUBACHER families in Carroll and Stark Counties of Ohio. Mary

I am out of ideas and places to search. Johann Phillip Laubach b. 14 March 1856 Alt Messer, Russia, immigrated with wife Katherine Marie, Phillip Jr. b. @1882 and Mollie (Amalia) b. @1885. Per his obit the family immigrated 1885. First went to Peoria, Illinois. Then to Kansas @1890, then to Okla. I have the Okla. information. Am searching for his arrival. Have checked Boston, Baltimore, Castle Garden, NY lists, Philadelphia, Galveston. Searched by first names of all, surname, used wildcards thinking the name is not spelled correctly, dates of birth, place of origin. Nothing! Does someone on the list live in Peoria? Am wondering if he made his Declaration of Intent there and possibly that would have date of arrival and ship name. Would someone mind checking for this information? It would be greatly appreciated. They were Germans to Russia to USA. I have been on the Odessa webpage, have checked other lists relating to the Germans from Russia. Have checked the books at the library on this immigration and never find this family. Does someone on the list live in Finney County, Kansas? Ancestry shows two Henry Laubach names who made their declaration in 1887. There are no details. Clerk of the District Court Office records extracted by a compiler in book form, but I do not have access to this book. Frances Wheeler Embree was the extractor if this is helpful. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions, help, new ideas. Thank you. Carole in Georgia

Billi, Thank you so much for telling me about Garnet. Yes, you and I come from quite a family. Aren't we lucky? I'll contact Ron and give him our regrets. I know that he has taken good care of Garnet and will miss her terribly. You said that she had been suffering from dementia for a while so though she'll be missed terribly perhaps it is easier to let her go knowing that she will be greeted with open arms by all her family and will no longer be confused. I know that when Mom went I knew that it was time for her and that she was going to be so happy to be with her Mom and family that it was easier for me to let her go. Let's talk again soon. Kay

To: Kay Stoughton Butler Dear Kay, It's been a long time since we communicated. Just wanted to let you know Aunt Garnet died early this morning. My mom saw her in September and said it would not be long. Ronnie has been beside her for a couple of days and made sure she was given anything she needed so as not to suffer. Uncle Bill Griffing died last year. Mae, Rose, Olive, Florence and Lawrence are all that is left. Mae just turned 92 and Rose 90. Mom (Olive) is 84 and the twins we 80 in September. Assuming as least one of them lives 8 more years, the Griffing siblings will have spanned a century. What a family I come from! Billi

<"What does the library charge for sending copies of Marriage records or will records?"> It depends on the paper size needed to make the copy. Copies on 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper is $.25 per page, 11 x 17 inch paper is $.50 per page. Paper size is determined by the library. Postage is added to the cost of the copies and then the total is rounded up to the nearest dollar. For example, if the cost of copies and postage comes to $2.01, we will round up to $3.00. If the cost of copies and postage comes to $2.99, we will round up to $3.00. Marriages can be copied on a single piece of 8 1/2 x 11 paper. Wills and estates are tough to estimate. Some can be copied on 8 1/2 x 11 but others need to be done on 11 x 17 paper. Some estates are only a couple of pages and others are 50 or 60 pages. <"I liked the library across from the Post Office (?) It had character and style.

I'm not sure what it is being used for, but it if you're ever back in Canton you can still see it. I hope you will come to the new library also.

Hi Rita, Looks like he went to Central Catholic in Canton, Ohio. Google mentions one or two Paones at Central Catholic attending now. If you find their address through Google, you might write one of the students. I checked my annual (yearbook) and we was not in it as attending McKinley High School, the largest in the city. Gary
