On the subject of Wallin, I have a Per Wallin, who was Swedish. I believe he was in the U.S. (Boston area) around 1890. I don't know that Per Wallin came west, but he might have. He was my grandfather's brother. Others in the family used the Hendrickson or Safgren surname. No connection with your Wallin/Wallings most likely.

Can someone tell me if there is a city directory for Seattle, Wa. for the year 1923, 1924? If so I would like to check it for my dad and his first wife. Lucky me I even have an address for them. Thanks

Tell me about your Walling Branch. My husbands branch goes to Joseph Wallin and Susan Cook. They came to america in 1840, My husbands line was John T Wallin, who married Tempie Carter. There eldest was John Carter Wallin, who changed it to Walling about 1900. They lived in Napa Ca. Moved to Seattle Washington about that time, he was a musican, and opened a piano store down town . There were other Wallin(g)s that came north also, Richard I think went to Portland. But he also returned to Ca. He was know as Will Walling the actor. I have alot of stuff on them unti Joseph, and I have never found Joseph and Susan. Only John T (fought in Civel war from Iowa) death obit mentions them. donna potts walling

Hi, I am a new member to this list. I live in SW Portland, Oregon and am researching the following lines. Melvin, Walling, De Moss, Aydelotte, Townsend, Quinn, Reichner, Massey, Earnest, Bernash, Beitz, Russell. My main line starts back in Maryland with William Melvin and Leah Robertson. And then their son Rev Avra Melvin and Catherine Justice Bailey, Next their son Samuel Douglas Melvin and his first wife Elizabeth Broughton. His second wife Sarah Virginia Aydelotte had 7 children. One of their sons Jay Royden Melvin died in 1926 in Seattle, King County, Washington. His wife Sabina Helena EINSTOSS-HOHENTSEIN died in June 1956 in Seattle, King County, Washington. My line continues with Samuel Douglas Melvin and his first wife Elizabeth Broughton. Their son Edgar Nicols Melvin died on 28 Nov 1936 in Rolling Bay, Kitsap County, Washington. I am planning a trip later on this month to the Seattle area and need some information. I would like to know if there is a bus that goes to the Main Library in Seattle from the train station. While at this library I was hoping to research the Seattle City Directories, the Seattle newspapers for death notices and possibly Washington death and marriages notices. These are things I can look up at the Main Library here in Portland, Oregon. Anyone having any knowledge please email me at Ed_Melvin@msn.com. Thanks, Eugene Melvin SW, Portland, Oregon

Dear List, I was most grateful for the help I got from this list regarding my ancestor: LISA (WISNER) MELVIN PITT. Her death certificate was signed by her grandaughter, Eva Llewellyn. I have recently learned about one ENSLEY MAXWELL LLEWELLYN, Brig. General, deceased, and associated with the military newspaper, STARS AND STRIPES during WWII. I understand that he had an advertising agency after the war and also was very involved with the National Guard. Would like to hear from any folks who may be able to help me to find out how and if he was related to EVA (LOCKWOOD) LLEWELLYN. EVA was the daughter of BEULAH (MELVIN) AND TIMOTHY LOCKWOOD. These families migrated from NY, MI, IO, OR and then on to WA. Thank you, Phoebe in CA

It has been graciously brought to my attention that in my attempt to be brief in posting my inquiry, I actually sounded demanding and did not even express my appreciation for any help that might be offered. For this, I want to say that I am extremely sorry. This was not my intention and I ask that I be forgiven. I have only learned what I know about my forefathers because many people have helped me over the years. Albert Maurer was the 5th child born to Benedict and Elisabeth (Marolf) Maurer, who had immigrated to the United States from Switzerland abt. 1849-1850 with their oldest child, Fredrick (Fred), who was about 2-1/2 years old. They went to Alton, Illinois and decided to move on to what became Wilton (Junction), Muscatine, Iowa. They are included on the 1850 census there. Benedict died in the late 1860s, within months of the birth of their last child, Henry C. Maurer. The child just before him was also named Henry C. Maurer but he had died just a little over one year old. Elizabeth is recorded as the head of the household in the next censuses. The oldest child, Fred, was not listed so, I surmised, that he was taking care of the farm. About 1888-1890, Albert, John B.. Carrie (Karolina W.) and their mother, Elisabeth Maurer moved to Great Falls, MT. Albert and John opened a Cash Store about 1890. January 1895, Elisabeth died. John decided he did not want to be a partner any longer so sold his share to Albert. By Sept 1896, Carried married Edmund Setzepfandt (who lived in Great Falls during this same period) in Wilton, Iowa. Albert, John and Edmund helped in the founding of Trinity (German) Lutheran Church in Gt.Falls during the 1890s. They held offices on the board and Edmund was the church organist. His profession was giving music lessons and teaching several languages. Albert (b.25 Apr 1868 in Wilton, d.July 1924 in Seattle, WA) kept his Cash Store until 1917, when he evidently sold it and went to Seattle, WA. There seems to be no reason for going to Seattle, i.e., no ties. John had returned to Montana with his wife, from PA, and son, Roy Sigbert, born in Pueblo, CO in 1904. Albert, Carrie and Edmund witnessed Roy's baptism. Albert hired John for a period of time to work in the store but soon John left, moving to a property he purchased which became a Sheep Ranch. Thank you for any information you can give about Albert's years in Seattle. John did go to Washington to accompany Albert's body back to Wilton, Iowa for burial. I've not been able to find any information at all about his stay in Washington (1917-1924 est.) Mariel (Maurer) Cummins mrc@mt.net

Want info re ALBERT MAURER, particularly while living in Seattle, WA area. Albert Maurer was in Seattle area from 1917-18 until his death (there) in June or July 1924. Albert Maurer was b.25 Apr 1868, Wilton, IA to Benedict Maurer (wife: Elisabeth Marolf). Albert never married. Albert, with John B (Johannes), Carrie W. (Karolina), and mother, Elizabeth Maurer, came to Great Falls, MT abt. 1889-1890. Originally Albert and John owned a Cash Store in Great Falls, but John sold out about 1897. Albert sold his store in 1917-8 and went to Seattle, WA. He (evidently) remained there until his death in July 1924. At that time, John went to Seattle to accompany Albert's body back to Wilton, IA for burial. Carrie married Edmund Setzepfandt in Sep 1897, in Wilton, IA. Edmund had come to Gt.Falls in 1890. He was a musician and teacher of foreign languages. Mariel (Maurer) Cummins mrc@mt.net

Hi Everyone, I am new to this list and would like to let you know who I am researching: My relative was Sarah LITTLE (b. 1893 in Walkerton, Ontario, died 2 Nov. 1980 in Spokane, Wash.) who married John Raymond STEINKE (b. 1889 in Indiana, died Dec.1971 in Spokane, Wash.) The only information that I have on J. R. Steinke is his US SS Death reg.. They had together: Helen L., Charles Eric, Eleanor P., John C. Sarah also had Dorothy G. (Little, Steinke?) when she entered her marriage to J.R. Steinke. I believe that she married J.R. Steinke between 1920-1922. I understand that she was briefly married to a Jack HASLIP (also of Spokane?) but he died a very short time after they married. I have no dates for this marriage, or his death. She then married a Clarence L. BUTLER, but I don't have any information on him, either. Someone sent me a newspaper funeral announcement from a Spokane newspaper (I don't have the name of the paper, though) for Sarah BUTLER. REQUESTS: 1) Would anyone be able to find a marriage reg. or newspaper announcement for ANY of her three marriages? 2) I would like to know where Sarah and her three husbands are buried. (They should all be in the Spokane area, I think) 3) Any newspaper announcements of birth announcements, etc. would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks very kindly, Bonnie Hoyer Alberta, Canada

I, too, am a newbie to this list. I'm looking for Two Branches of my Family that i believe were in Washington in the 1870-1900 period. Anyone have info on the DYE or GOODMAN Families?
