Susan M. Udell and William H. Smith - Flint, Genesee, Michigan

UDELLMS — 1 Dec 2008 2:24:43 GMT

I am looking for information to "fill in the blanks" about my great-grandaunt Susan M. Udell and her husband, William H. Smith. Below is what I have been able to find to date.

Susan M. Udell was was born on 20 Jul 1878 in Sanilac County, Michigan to John and Emma Udell. Michigan birth records show her name as Suanna Miria Udell. Her father died in 1879. The 1880 Census shows her living with her mother, and her name appears as Susan M. Udell. Michigan marriage records show that she married William H. Smith, son of James Smith and Jennie Stover, on 25 Oct 1897 at Flint, Genesee County, Michigan. Her name on the marriage record is Susie Udell.

William H. Smith was born circa 1865 at Flint, Genesee County, Michigan. The record of his marriage to Susan shows his occupation as a butcher.

I have searched the censuses of 1900 through 1930 without success, and have not been able to locate any death records, mainly because I have no dates to work from.

Does anyone have any information on these people?

Chippewa Indians

Melissa Velka — 20 Apr 2000 12:00:00 GMT

Genesee County was the home of Native American ancestors between ?? - 1908. They were relocated to Minnesota or Wisconsin around 1908. I am looking for information on how this relocation occurred, and any land records, as I am told that John Adams (aka, Sidney Muchoputch) owned land by the river. John had a sister named Virginia "Jennie" Crane who married ?? Gallagher. My great uncle, Alfred Allenson Gallagher, had to be sent across the river to go to an indian school. I would like to know the name of the river and possibly the name of the indian school (Mount Pleasant is the only one I can find reference to in Michigan).

Any help is appreciated!!

Russell Welch and his wife Fanny

EllenRowley — 6 Oct 2008 3:51:25 GMT

My GGGGrandfather, Russell Welch lived in Genesee County with his wife Fanny along with his sons Alonzo and Philo and daughter Susan. Russell was born in 1794 and died Nov 2, 1881 in Genesee. (Reports of his birth place are generally New York; however, it seems to change from Canada to Pennsylvania with the censuses -- but the same people). Land Grants say he was from Erie County, NY. Fanny was from Canada, but other than her birthdate of 1800, I know nothing else. If anyone has ANY information about this family I would be appreciative. I think their daughter Susan (born 1840) may have married Chester Darby. If anyone has access to any information off of the Death Index, Russell Welch is listed in Vol. I Page 185, Record 26 -- I know no other details than this.

Oh, my GGGrandfather was his son Alonzo (born 16 Oct 1832 in NY)

Neila Cole and Joseph West - of Flint

mdalle — 9 Oct 2008 12:12:05 GMT

I am writing a family history of Neila Cole (daughter of Edward JOhn Cole and Samantha J Hart)and Joseph West (son of Joseph West and Mary Schlegelmilch)

I am looking for official documentation and verification of parents, siblings and children.

Edward's parents were Benjamine Cole and Jane Dibble - I have no other information on these two. The 1880 US Census puts them in Richfield Michigan. I need help with both of these people

Samantha's parents were John Hart and Lydia Fenner - I have the Hart family traced back to a Nathaniel Hard born in New York in November of 1803 but nothing on Lydia Fenner.

Joseph's parents were David West and Isabella ? -
We know that they lived in Bangor Bay Michigan in 1870 but no other info is known. We believe David was born in Ontario.

Mary's parents were Christian Frederick Schelgelmilch and ELizabeth Braun - I have both of these families going back to the early 1800's additional info would be welcome but not needed at this time.

Helen E Clark b. 1906
Eva Clark b. 1907 married a Shannon
Kenneth Clark b. 1908
Leon Clark b.1909
Annabelle Clark married a Fry

Oran is one of 11 children born to Nathan and Margaret (Keillor) Clark of Dunwich Township, Elgin County, Ontario.

John P Fritz & Eunice Parish Ewer Fritz

freeames1 — 21 Jul 2008 12:32:03 GMT

Hello All,

I am looking for more information on this Eunice.

They married on Nov 12, 1868 in Flint, Genesse Co., MI.

It looks like John P Fritz was born on 1796 in PA and died Nov 30, 1880 in Grand Blanc, Genesse Co., MI.

I think Eunice might be a Eunice Parish daughter of Stephen & Lena (Houghtaling) Parish, and widow of Alfred Ewer, and it seems widow of John P Fritz.

Does she sound familiar to anyone?

What hapened to her after John P Friz died?

Thank You,
Debbie Freeman

I am hoping to find a picture of Winnifred Martha Smith. She lived in flint and attended Central High School. She was born in 1922 but did not graduate from high school. She married Roy Smith.

Any help appreciated. I know she died between 1856 - 1859.

Need help with Goodrich, MI obituary

Leslie85223 — 24 May 2008 5:26:21 GMT

My great grandmother, Amy/Amie Estella Hyler was born in Bath, MI in August of 1871. She was married in KS to Arthur E Butts on December 31, 1890. May 28, 1901 Arthur died of pneumonia leaving Amy a widow with two young sons. December 30, 1905 Amy became Mrs. James Benjamin Scully (or Sculley) in LaPeer, MI. On August 23, 1929 Amy was buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Battle Creek, MI. She was laid to rest beside her first husband, Arthur. The cemetery has told me that Amy's residence was given as being in Goodrich, MI.

I'm in hopes that someone from the area in or around Goodrich could check to see if there was ever an obituary for Amy.

I'm a senior citizen living on a small fixed income in AZ with no chance of ever coming to MI to look for that information.

Any assitance would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you,

Looking for death record for James Benjamin "Ben" Scully

Leslie85223 — 1 Jun 2008 11:11:45 GMT

My great grandmothers 2nd husband was James Benjamin "Ben" Scully (or Sculley). Amy Hyler Butts married Ben in 1905 in LaPeer. Amy died in Goodrich, MI in August of 1929 and I believe her husband, Ben, was still living at the time of her death. Amy was buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Battle Creek, MI next to her 1st husband, Arthur.

Ben was born (1873)and married in LaPeer, MI so it's possible he he may have died in that same county, but I'm not sure.

Could certainly use some help finding this needed information. Aways appreicate outside assistance.

POSS. DEATH OF HENRY RICH IN GENESEE COUNTY IN 1890'2?

Myra_Herron — 1 Jun 2008 8:47:32 GMT

Am searching for a possible death in Genesee county of Henry Rich, born about 1860 in Worth Twp, Sanilac county, Michigan. His parents were Henry Sr., born about 1826, Ann, his wife, born about 1832, and siblings George, Mary, and Sarah. I found that much in the 1860 census, in Worth Twp. In 1880, I found Henry working as a farm hand with the Merrill family, in Lexington, Sanilac, Michigan.

Henry married my grandfather's sister, Nancy Middaugh, July 4, 1883, in St. Clair, Michigan. I have a picture of Henry taken in Flint, MI, but do not know when it was taken, but he is an adult in the picture. It was taken by W. C. Foote, 500 Saginaw Street. Maybe someone could find a city directory that might show when that photographer was in business? I know that Henry and Nancy were no longer married when she married John E. Sly in about 1901, since they are seen in the 1910 census in Worth Twp and have been married 9 years. In the 1900 census, Nancy is with her parents also in Worth, as Nancy Rich.

So, some time between the marriage in 1883 and the census in 1900, Henry has disappeared. Only because of the picture am I asking for help to identify if he may have died in Genesee county during those years. Please help!

POW/MIA Korean War Genesee Co. BOOTH, GOULDMAN,WALLACE

powmiadna — 10 Mar 2008 9:25:08 GMT

I am searching for the family of three soldiers who was killed in the Korea War. When they entered service they gave Genesee as their home of record.

Soldier:ROBERT EUGENE BOOTH
Born: 1930
Date of loss: March 15, 1954 POW

Soldier: ALFRED V. GOULDMAN
Born: April 6, 1930 Caucasian
Date of loss: October 13, 1950 MIA

Soldier: PENDLETON W. WALLACE
Born: November 23, 1932 Black
Date of loss; Feb. 28, 1951 POW

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 102 families from Michigan that have not been located. There are Three families from Genesee County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find these families. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating these families.

lynhinkle — 16 Mar 2008 11:40:32 GMT

I recently found my grandfather's WW1 Draft registration card. On that card he stated that he was employed with Stewart Body Works in Flint, MI. He also stated that his job was “Machinest on wood”. Can anyone tell me what Stewart Body Works was and what my grandfather’s duties would have been? My email address is: klynhinkle@aol.com

Albert C.(Bertie) Hope / Wayne A. Hope

munier189 — 11 Mar 2008 5:20:20 GMT

My name is Mary Lou Miller, and I am the gggrandaughter of Alfred Hope, who immigrated from England to Ontario Canada in the mid to late 1800s. I have been able to trace his life in Canada: From his marriage to Mary Ellis, to his family moving to Cheboygan, Michigan, and finally to his death at the home of his son, Albert C. Hope, in Flint. From the research that I have done into the Hope family, it appears that Albert's wife was Laura, and that they had four sons, Ralph, Kenneth, Garrett, and Wayne, and that they lived on Mississippi Ave. in the city of Flint in 1930. I would love to contact anyone from the Hope family, and I would be happy to exchange information with them. I have been trying for years to find out where Alfred's family lived in England, and to find out his parents names, since they are listed differently on his marriage registration in Canada, and his death registration in Michigan.
Many thanks.

I am looking for a full obituary for David Brochu or relation to any Brochu's in the Flint or Grand Blanc Area
David passed away 2/20/2007 and I believe his obit was in the Flint Journal on 2/24/2007, but I am not sure.
I would appreciate any help. I have been doing extensive genealogy research on the Brochu's and I am also looking for any descendents who may like to share information.
My gg uncle Ben Peterson was married to Frances Brochu a twin to Alfred Brochu. I believe David's father was a brother to Frances and Alfred. I am trying to confirm this information.
Thank you in advance for any help.
