You might want to try the spelling Shelifoe. There's a lot of them listed the Baraga county censuses. I have family in those censuses so I've spent a lot of time scanning the original documents. Some vowels are often changed due to the person preferring that spelling or transcript errors.

Re: RE:Julia Allie

pegger172 — 2009-04-07 00:38:25Z

regarding the Allie family. I think they may be related to the Foshey family (faushie) from the Detroit area. There was a Joseph and a Peter. My grandmother was their sister -- her name was Virginia. There was a mention of a Pat and Mary Allie and boys but that is all I have.

We have a Doreen Zagar at 5 Katherine St. L'Anse, Mich. 49946 and phone # is 1-906-524-7564.

She was a Homier. Maybe she can help you. She went to school with my husband's sister Barbara. Hope this helps.

Francois Homier(omier) born Aug. 14, 1871 in Quebec, died May 14, 1952 in Montana.. he married Mary Ellen Campbell born about 1879 and died 1939 in Montana, they maried in 1899. 2 children listed were Willard and Roy Omyer.
Treffle was born May 1828 in Canada, died July 03, 1900 in Pequaming Michigan. He married Rose Delima Andre-LaFontaine, she was born September 20, 1834 in Quebec and died February 18, 1936 in Sault Ste. Marie, Canada.
Looks like Treffle and Rose had 10 children.... according to this info Treffle had 15 brothers and sisters. Some of this family tree goes back to the 1600's.

Re: relatives born in Pequaming

jtollefs1 — 2009-03-05 16:24:31Z

The 1900 Census of L'Anse has:
Terffle Omier born May 1828, married 47 years, himself and parents born in Canada...Immigrated 1900.
Hazama?? wife, born December 1834, married 47 years, had 12 children, 9 surviving in 1900. Herself and parents born in Canada. Immigrated 1895.
Terffle, son, born 1854 in Canada, single, Immigrated 1886.
Geneva, daughter, single, born June 1880 in Canada, Immigrated 1895.
Hazama, grand daughter, born April 1899 in Michigan.
William, nephew, born June 1875 in Canada. Immigrated 1898.
There is a Frank and Mary Omier...both born 1870's in Canada, did not live in the same house as Terffle and family.
This was just a quick check, let me know who you are looking for and I will try to help you. Jim Tollefson

My brother in-law is named Kurt O'Myer, after talking to him this is the information I have...His father Lyle O'Myer was born in Whitefish Montana in 1931 to Willard and Isabel O'myer. His father Willard was born somewhere in Michigan. Willards father was Frank O'Myer...brothers are Ely and Treply. At sometime they changed there name to O'Myer from Homier...the story is that they wanted to Americanize the name. Kurt has been told that his father is French-Canadian. Does this help? If you have more information I would appreciate a return. Thank you.

Re: 4 sisters?Ethel Hoffman, Ida Potter, Martha Longley, Ebba Bergh.

BarbaraHanshaw1940 — 2009-02-07 04:49:11Z

Thank you. I work with Baraga Co. Hist. Museum as a volunteer. We contacted Finlandia because at one time Finland was a part of Sweden. They are the ones that helped us with the Swedish colleges. The museum in Baraga does not have room for more books. We really wanted these books to go to the descendants of these 4 sisters as they are 100 + years old.
I have feeling they will hit the burn pile if we don't get a lead on this. We really don't know who else to contact.
Thank you for your suggestions. Your work is much appreciated by many.

Re: 4 sisters?Ethel Hoffman, Ida Potter, Martha Longley, Ebba Bergh.

AliciaKMarshall — 2009-02-06 15:37:48Z

If these sisters were Ohman's , it looks like there are no Ohman's left in Baraga county. The historical society might want them if they have genealogy information on them in Baraga. The Finlandia University is Finnish not Swedish by the way. It was previously called Suomi college.

Looking for descendents of these 4 sisters. Have many, many Swedish books that should go to their descendants. They were from Skanee, Michigan.

Re: Info on the Southwind and Pennock Families

paulson141 — 2009-02-01 01:00:12Z

I have been working on the ancestry of David Pennock who married Julia Southwind. Father of David was Elihu Pennock born 1791. Mother was Elizabeth Fort. David was born 1825 in Washington Cty New York. His brother Homer married Annie Hardcastle and had two children, Homer and Jerome. Interestingly, this Pennock family is well researched and so Davids ancestry can be traced back to Yorkshire England to about 1580. Elihu was the son of Samuel Pennock. One of David's daughters Mary Emma who married TC Thomas named her son John Elihu Thomas; Elihu Pennock was her grandfather. The Pennock family history is very interesting. Elihu was a drummer in the war of 1812. I am happy to share.

Hi Alicia,
Eino was my husband's grandfather and he died suddenly in his early 30's in 1939 before his own son was born so we don't know much about him. I would think he would show up on the 1930 census as being married to Sadie Kerranen (m.1929) but I haven't been able to find anything. Thanks for your help!

She is the daughter of Dan Newman who also homesteaded in Skanee, Mi. I have been told that he had seven children.

I am a descendent of August Paulson who returned to his birthplace, Gotland, Sweden and brought my grandmother, Ida Jakobson to America. She was much younger. Her daughter was Marie, who was my mother.

I am looking forward to learning more about your family and sharing what I have that belonged to your ancestors. Marilyn

I am unable to tell you that as I cannot find any of them in the 1930 census. I did give you Nels children from his first marriage.

Re: Ilmonen, Picture

AliciaKMarshall — 2008-12-16 15:53:44Z

Why don't your donate it to the Finlandia University archives in Hancock Mi . Rev. Ilmonen was well know and wrote several books on the early immigrants of Finns to America.
He died in California and they also have a Finnish Historical site.

I can find Nels in the census up to 1920 but after that I am unable to find him or Anna whom he married.

Re: Ilmonen, Picture

It would appear from the 1930 census that she was the only child of Pastor/Reverand Solomon Ilmonen. They lived in California in 1930.

Solomon Ilmonen Emma A Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA abt 1871 Finland Head

Emma A Ilmonen Solomon Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA abt 1888 Wife

Adeline E Ilmonen Solomon,
Emma A Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA abt 1925 Daughter
hope this helps you place it.
