Ok, got some more questions. I found the family 1870. I also found immigration papers aboard the Russian ship Energie, out of Antwerp on the 4 June 1867. They were marked bound for michigan, but the next family was marked going to Wisconsin. I also found them in the 1880 Census, Anna was gone, presumably dead. The kids, Katie M 17 Lizzie M 16 Joseph 14 and John 11, only child born in Wisconsin. I think this was the census they were now marked born in Russia. You know how that one goes! Can find John maybe in 1900 census married and moved, but not sure it is him. Living in Sheboygan, John 36, Mary 26 and Mary 2. Can't find the others. I found a Jhn born is Wi, in 192o, but wrong age and wife and kids. I know all that could have changed, but not the age. So what happened to them? So my question is, do you have the name of the person that was in contact and the years they were corresponding? I could probably go through an address list. Especially if I knew the decendents were still in Wisconsin. Let me know. marge ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerome A.
