Triciay65 — 2013-05-17 12:01:46Z

Looking for info on Betty Godfrey. She was born in MI, possibly Oceana County ca 1929. She may still be living and I am unsure if she ever married. She grew up in the Shelby, MI area. Her parents are Walton and Johanne Anderson Godfrey. She had a brother named, Forrest, whom I think resides in California.
Thanks, Tricia

I have been getting error messages while trying to access this board.

I was lucky enough to get photo copies of the Peace Lutheran Church records from a fellow researcher I met online. I will be happy to email you the images I have with your ancestor on them if you will send your email address to me at VDavey7806@aol.com

Re: Catherine Freund, Claybanks

swestbrook143 — 2013-05-13 12:37:31Z

Hello. Yes, I am very interested in any of the information you might have regarding these births and baptisms. Are these records available online or did you get copies from the church?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Re: Catherine Freund, Claybanks

VDavey7806 — 2013-05-12 13:50:42Z

I don't know if this is helpful, but on the church records for the baptisms of the Freund/Schmiedeknect marriage the names that appear are August Pankow, Rebecca Eibers, August and Doris Fuchs, William Meier, and Carl and Rose Kuhlmann. Sometimes these people were family. Sometimes just close friends. I have access to the names, birth and baptismal records for some of these children.

I see one of your relatives married a Rose Pickle. I am searching for a Rose Pickle from Oklahoma. She was the daughter of Rebecca and G.W. Pickle. My understanding she was a servant at age 16 and was bitten by a bear and lost one of her hands. Would this be your Rose Pickle?

Contact the Oceana County Historical Society in Hart. They also have a website. They have an extensive list of obituaries in their files, and also microfilm of old newspapers. The newspapers at that time included the Oceana Herald, which was a weekly.
I believe the Houseman family might have attended St. Stephen's Lutheran Church in Benona.

Thank you for all that information I will keep that for my records, but it is the Glover family I need to contact. It was said that the Abrahamsons adopted Dorothy from the Glover family and Dorothy knew my grandfather was her father. She and my mother before 2004 talked and she admitted she was my mothers half sister. I wanted to confirm that with the Glover family and find out who was her real mother and if my grandfather knew of her adoption from the beginning or who told Dorothy?

as far as I know - NO

I ordered several death certs for my family tree with no problems.

Maybe that was/is the policy of Mason cty.

As far as I know there are no restrictions on ordering a Mich death cert. You will need to know the date of death.

I need to find a relative of the Glover family that knows their ancestry from the early 1900's. I was told there was a girl born that was put up for adoption in about 1918-1919 that was adopted by the Abrahamson family in Ludington, Michigan. Her name is Dorothy May and married William A Karlsen 1-20-40 she died 4-25-2004. I was told that the father of this woman was Carl Earl Johnson, who was married at least 2 maybe 3 times. It is very important that I know this information.

I am looking for an obituary for Martha Coleson BRADLEY who died March 12, 1943. She is buried in Hart Cemetery and last we knew in 1940 was living Mears, Golden Township.

Is there an index for this area of obituaries? If not, a library or local newspaper?

Re: Wolf, Strait

melodique — 2013-01-27 13:21:35Z

Just reading through all the comments here, and figure I'd add what I know. Glen Strait probably was not Indian, as he was not a Strait by blood. He was Nellie Gray's child, not Peter D. Strait's. There was some issue with his birth certificate or social security card and he was not able to find it from the county listed under Glen Strait. My grandmother (Pansy Walker Strait) was aware that he was not a Strait and informed him of this. He went back and found it under Glen Gray.

Nora Mae Cartwright Gilbert was born May 7, 1884 to Merrick F. Cartwright and Cordelia Louise Duke Cartwright. She was probably born in Oceana Co. MI as that is were the family lived prior to moving to Delta Co. MI.
She is buried in Fernwood Cemetery on a bluff near Gladstone, Delta Co. Michigan. The same stone has the names of Cordelia L. Cartwright, Nora M. Gilbert and August McKinley Cartwright (a brother who died at 1 year of age). I have quite an extensive file on the Cartwright family.

His father was Adelbert E. Cartwright, b. Aug.21, 1852 and d. Jan 13, 1935, The info I have on this line of family is very limited. His mother was Augusta (Wires) Cartwright, b. Feb. 28, 1857 and d. Sept. 5, 1935. They were m. in 1871 or 1872. Adelberts brothers were Mack and Thomas. Thomas had a son, Clarence. Any info on this line of the family would be great. The W.W.

Children are Adelbert born abt1851 in NY, Merrick born abt 1855 in NY Thomas born abt 1864 in WI and Mary born abt 1856 in WI. Merrick married Cordelia Louise Duke Jan 29, 1877 In Grant, Oceana Co She died in Gladstone, Delta Co. MI Aug 21, 1909.

I live 3 hours away from there but i know the area well from being there often. I have been to the Lever Cemetary a dozen times and i, like you, was looking for info on your Great grandmother. For some reason her name stood out to me, so i googled it. and thats when i found you. so if you are still looking for it, can tell you about it and right where it is.

My Great-Grandfather Jens Svanholm Jensen and his wife Elisabeth (nee Werner) Jensen both lived in Pentwater. Elisabeth's brother lived in Racine, WI, his name was Christian Werner. They all came from Denmark. Elisabeth died in 1900, after birthing a 5th child. She was only 30 years old when she died. Jens Svanholm Jensen was a shoemaker.

Thanks, Diana. I saw that on Findagrave, and saw the grave (Susanna's) in person when I was up there this summer. There are a few other Straits in Round Lake Cemetery, as well. I think most of them are on the findagrave website.

I have found no trace of Richard Buckmaster nor Richard Strait. My brother is convinced that they were 2 separate people, but I can't find proof either way. Anyone else have info on them?

Lincicum / Dipert families

I am interested in any information on the Lincicum and Dipert families who moved to Oceana County from Ohio.

I have not found Lucinda's death record but I believe it would have been in Oceana county, Michigan where I last found her on the 1880 census in Benona township. I have looked for Susanna's death but have not found it. Is this the sister to Lucinda that you found? Did you find one for Richard Buckmaster? Are you willing to share where you found her grave? I will share what I have if there is anything you need.
My line is through Jasper who married Rachel Ann Wolf.
