Ch: Lillian b ? Hazel b ? Mary b ? Thomas b ? I am not related to nor have any additional information on these surnames. R/S MAK http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwood +++++ I had relatives who lived in Centralia & Nasonville. It would be GG-Grandfather Russell Roberts his wife Helen and 6 children Jane, my G- Grandfather Alfred , Franklin , Mary , William & Etna. I think Jane died in 1870 maybe not sure. I have a picture in the corner is written O. Kaufin I think that is right Grand Rapids , Wis. I was wondering if you could tell me when Grand Rapids & Centralia combined to become Wisconsin Rapids. It was still Grand Rapids in a 1901 Atlas. If I can find out when O. Kaufin was in business I may be able to date the picture. Thank you for your time. Don Hoffner <hoffnerdj@cbpu.com>
