I could just squeeze ya both to pieces!!! Thanks SO much for the information you've provided!! Here's a little more info I just got from my grandma - The Kekowskee family (her in-laws) immigrated to the States in 1893 (I just verified this by looking at the 1900 census - using a friend's subscription). In looking at John's death record (which Grandma had and didn't tell me! GRRR), he apparently had Hydrocephalus (like me!!) and Scarlet Fever. That would explain why he spent so much time in the hospital. Do you know of any way to get hospital records from the 1930's? Heaven knows ya have to sell your soul to fill those dumb things out! I'm thinking it would have a TON of info on John! I wish I could read that WW1 registration card better, but beggars can't be choosers, right? Would they have that microfilmed at the Fam. Hist. Center in Salt Lake City? (I ask because I'm only an hour away from there - definitely worth the drive up!) AAAAHHH!!! I'm excited now!! I'm just DYING to find Wilhelm & Wilhelmina's parents!! Anyway! Thanks so much again for your help!! God bless! Melinda J. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
