In regards to: << Some "Local Items" from the 12 February 1942 edition of the AltoonaTribune: Mr. and Mrs. Carl Schlewitz, now resideing on Lynn Ave., plan to move into the house formerly occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Livermore on Division St., the first of March. >> I was pleased to see my first cousin twice removed, Carl Schlewitz, in your old news from Altoona. Thanks so much for all your hard work transcibing these articles. This is a good opportunity to post my query. Is anyone on this list researching or have connections to the Schlewitz surname? I only know as far back as Wilhelm F. Schlewitz. His Declaration of Intent says he was born in Germany in 1824 and that he landed at the Port of New York in May 1885, sworn on 27 Oct 1888 [in Eau Claire]. He was married to Wilhelmina (Henke or Fross?) Children: John b. abt 1865 m.

Doris Sundem Louise b. 17 Nov 1916 Paul William b. 28 Nov 1918 m. Ethel Larson I hope someone finds a connection. Nance's post is the first time I've seen the name, Schlewitz, on a list, so I was encouraged. Thanks, Michelle Rene Schettini P.S. I was born and raised in Eau Claire, but now I'm living in the burbs of Washington, D.C. I miss Eau Claire, and I enjoy getting Nance's Old News, and current weather reports. It makes me feel a little closer to "home". -Shell ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
