I don't have the information here but will reply tomorrow or Wednesday. I can tell you immediately the following---1) Maria Nolan Oryall died circa 1858 according to two obituaries of Joseph Oryall that I have from Green Bay & Stevens Point, Wisc. Their son Alfred also died about the same time because he disappears of the census. 2) Elias Mitchell Oryall died and is buried in Shevlin, Minnesota next to his second wife Pernella (Nelly) Enstaal Johanson Oryall. Paryzade and Elias divorced after 1 son & 2 daughters. He had two sons and one daughter by Nelly. Children were: Eli Joseph (mygrandfather 1870-1932), Viola Mae Oryall, Cora Etta Deal Oryall Van Patten then Maie Bertha Oryall Dickinson McLaughlin, Melvin Oryall and Norman Oryall. I am in contact with families of all except Maie Bertha. Melvin never married as well as Viola but she had a son Floyd. My grandfather Eli Joseph had 13 children in Nebraska and Missouri. Only 2 are left. My dad died in 1999. 3) I have Paryzade Tatro Oryall Doty birth at home but it occured in Blackwolf, Wisconsin.
