Info on Marie Dannette Peek circa 1950

dwpeek12 — 23 Jul 2008 12:36:50 GMT

Respectfully request any assistance anyone can provide with locating any info on my great aunt. Per her mother's obit (Stella Pearl Peek), Marie Dannette was living in Rochester in 1950. It did not indicate a married name but she would have been around 22 years of age. The only other tidbit I have on her is she was possibly a classical pianist. Don't know if her being in Rochester might be related. Her father, William Peek (b 1873, MI)was still alive with Stella Pearl's passing and he may have relocated with her after that.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide

JESCHKE in Buffalo -death location?

Katherine — 13 Jun 2004 7:25:30 GMT

I am trying to find the death location and any other information for my uncle Rev. William Marion JESCHKE. He was born Dec 1893 in Illinois, was pastor at St. Luke's Evangelical and Reformed Church, 335 Richmond Avenue in Buffalo in at least the years 1930-1940. He was listed in his brother's obit as living in Buffalo in May 1968. His wife's name was Vera and his children Marion and Channing.

Unfortunately the SSDI lists his death date, 5 June 1989, but not the location of his death or last residence. It may well have been Buffalo, Erie County, New York, since he lived so many years in that city. I would love to order a death certificate and obituary for William Jeschke, but need that information. Is there a death index for New York - or Erie County, that would list his death?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Katherine

Sorry...I'm a Pest...

kathiestorey1 — 10 Jul 2008 5:25:33 GMT

but i need more help. I've been scouring the fulton history sight looking for my family member...and i honestly can't imagine that they elluded the papers AND the cops forever...they could not have been that could been THAT good.
I found a series of three articles about my great great grandfather, getting arrested for a street fight...back in 1903...but that's it.
My great grand father was Michele DiLorenzo (Michael DiLorenzo, Lorenzo, Lawrence)...he moved around quite a bit. but eventually landed in Buffalo. He grew up in Rochester and most of his family still had lived there (and the decendants still do. I just don't know any of them).
But my grandfather who was born and died in Rochester...but lived all over WNY for parts of his life...by the mid 1930s was living back in Rochester...His name was Wilfred DiLorenzo (Larry DiLorenzo, Lorenzo, Lawrence)...and apparently he was arrested for something that his father did...but he took the fall...and he ended up in Elmira...the story in the family that i DO know is it was from mafia-related boot legging or something close to that.
his father (my great grand father) was a shady, lying, two-timing, wife/child abandoning...so and so...and his son (my grand father) idolized him. and they thought they were big shots.
because when my grandfather would come back into town...where his wife and two children were...way down in Dunkirk (and this story comes from my father's 83 year old friend) back in the 1940s...he would be wearing big fancy suits...driving a mafia car...smoking cubian cigars and acting like a big shot.

so anyway...i've emailed and written to the Elmira prison...with no answer...I've tried asking about how to get those records from EVERYONE i could think of...then i thought to look at the fulton site...and nothing...
I even asked a mafia expert in Buffalo to do some diggin' for me...and nothing.

is this just another family lie? or can some one help me dig up the juicy dirt?

Once again I am going to give this query a try; still hoping someone can help solve a Pelton descendant mystery: In the Pelton Genealogy (original one) Eunice Pelton, b 1806, d/o (my) Lemuel Pelton, married first Seymour Pond and second Nathan Wright. She died in Clarkson, Monroe Co. 14 Apr 1855 and had a grand daughter Mrs. Eliza M. Cook who lived in 1879, in North Parma, Monroe, NY (so says the book). However, I have never been able to find Eliza anywhere, even on a census; does anyone have any information on her? Does anyone descend from Eliza? Can anyone tell me about the family on the 1850 census for Clarkson, Monroe County, consisting of: Seymour Cook age 27 born VT; wife Elizabeth age 26 born NY; a dau Frances age 4. I have the death/cemetery listings for the parents & Frances, which still tell me nothing about Elizabeth - who were her parents? Could she be the Eliza M. Cook I have been searching for?

Court Case Decision in Rochester / Buffalo

You guys have turned me on to my own family soap opera. I need to know how it ends - although I know basically John disappears from our lives. I'm looking for resolution of John Klug against Margaret Stone - also known as Margaret Harrison. George Raines is the lawyer and it's being tried in the NY Supreme Court - Equity Term. That is how it's phrased in The Buffalo Express on 6/21/1900.

I can't find a newspaper article showing how it's ended. I did a search on FultonHistory and am now searching a lot of articles under the lawyer name. I just sent an email to the Buffalo Public Library as well. Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance!

(1) Portrait and Biographical Record of Kalamazoo, Allegan, and Van Buren Counties, Michigan (1892), Chicago, Chapman Brothers, p. 715 has a probably self-written profile of Henry L. Gleason.

"He was born in Clarkson, Monroe County, NY, where he resided until attaining the age of seventeen [1868], when he came to Michigan. His parents, Levi and Mary (Ostrom) Gleason, were both natives of the Empire State, having been born in Onondaga County. The father was a son of Urias Gleason, and died when our subject was an infant of one year. Henry was brought to Michigan by his mother and four sisters at the age before mentioned [i.e. 17]."

In fact, his mother remarried. His stepfather was J. C. Blake, who earned his living surveying for the railroad.

Thanks for any help you can provide relative to Levi Gleason or Urias Gleason.

(2) Mary Elizabeth King married John Smith at Parma, Monroe County, NY before 1855.

Mary Elizabeth King was said in a family history to be the daughter of Mangle King and Charlotte Drummond of Parma, Monroe County, NY. The 1860 census has Mangle King on page 756, dwelling 235, family 242. The family history says that he was born February 13, 1800 and died January 22, 1868. I am looking for corroboration of this information.

I am also looking for information about which John Smith it is that Mary Elizabeth King married. The family history says that he was born August 12, 1829 in Monroe County, NY, and died May 8, 1878 in Shelby, Oceana County, MI.

Hi, I am trying to find out more info on my Klug side of the family. I can only get minimal info from census sheets, and there is some disagreement among family on history.

Some time after they opened Pan-American Laundry he returned to Rochester. I'd like to know if they actually divorced - whatever happenned to him - more about his wife - or more about his parents. A lot of questions. Anyone who can help - or who can recommend a researcher would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is anyone able to look in the newspaper index for Rochester and see if there is marriage Announcement for Alonzo Bosley and Mary Bray, 1852? I don't know what month they were married.

There might be a birth announcement for their Children, Flora and Frances Bosley, 27 Jun 1854. They were Twins.

If anyone is able to help i would appreciate it.

Bosley's in Rochester

schultza142 — 26 May 2008 6:15:52 GMT

Hello,

My g-g-grandmother's family lived in Rochester for a number of years. Her name was Flora Bosley, she was born about 1854, her father was Alonzo Bosley, her mother was Mary Bray Bosley. Mary Bray was born in Ireland and I have next to no information about her.

I found them all in the 1860 census, but after that Mary disappears. It's a bit frustrating, I don't know if she died or what happened. In all the census' after 1860 Alonzo marks being married, and not being a widower despite the fact that it is he, his elderly mother, and his children. Not sure what conclusions I should draw. I know where he buried, but there is no marker.

Anyway, if anyone is a Bosley or related and has any information from the middle of the 1800's that would be helpful. The Bosley's themselves I can trace quite far, but this Mary Bray is a dead-end. I can find no records of any kind other than census.

This is the same Bosley Line that Bosley's Mill in Pennsylvania is named after.

Family stories indicate that Mary's mother was Catholic, her father a Protestant. Mary attended Catholic school, and had to walk quite far to reach it, whereas the Protestant (or Public?) school was within 3 blocks of her home. Census records have
been of no help. Can someone help with suggestions or other information?

Looking for information on Drake, Cook, and Gardner families in Monroe County, N.Y.

Redrake11 — 31 Mar 2008 9:20:26 GMT

My grandfather was Raymond Earl Drake born Feb. 13, 1894 in Monroe County, N.Y. He passed away on Jan. 22, 1959 in Gary, Ind. The information I have is that his father was William R. Drake, born in Ohio on June 18, 1872. I have no information on his death. My great grandmother was Ida Flor Gardner born in Monroe County, about 1873.
It seems that William’s parents were Jacob and Margaret Drake, but I have no confirmation that this is so.
The information I have for my great-grandmother’s parents is that they were George A. Gardner, born about Sept. 1844, and Jennie Cook (no information on her birth or decease)
Any information you may have on any of these individuals is greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly.

Ancestry/rootsweb message boards

mfcroots — 25 Jun 2007 10:48:38 GMT

Just an FYI to all those who post messages to this or other message boards. I discovered after my last post that if you click on my username to contact me, a message pops up saying that I've chosen to hide my contact information (I've done no such thing) and that in order to contact me you must subscribe to an ancestry service for a minimum fee. I had to sign into my account and find a marketing preferences page and select a box that allows my e-mail address to be shown to those who wish to contact me regarding a post. This must be a brand new feature. Unfortunately, although it may result in some revenue/subscriptions for ancestry.com, I think it will drive away many who freely share their information with us on these boards.

BIMMLER , KEEN (KEANE), DALHEIM, DOERICH of Rochester & Greece

RanchoVillarreal — 25 Apr 2008 9:55:30 GMT

I am looking for information on the BIMMLER and DOERICH families of Rochester.

1. My Great Great Grandmother is Christina Bimmler (married name DOERICH) born 9 Jan. 1848 in Baden, Wurttemberg, Germany. She immigrated to the US around 1890. She had a sister named Rose, who according to my Grandfather married a man with the last name KEEN or KEAN. She supposedly immigrated before Christine and was instrumental in helping Christine come to the US. She is said to have lived in Rochester, or maybe Greece. I don't know Rose's birthdate or any other information about her. I do not find her on census records. I find the KEAN family, but no connection.

2. Charles DALHEIM born 17 Sep 1891 in Monroe Co., NY is said to be a cousin of my Great Grandmother, Christina Sophia Doerich (born 28 Dec 1886 - Germany), daughter of Christina Bimmler. I found him on the 1910 census as a child living with his parents in Parma, Monroe, NY. His parents are John C. DALHEIM and Sophia. I haven't been able to establish a relation to the Bimmler or Doerich families. I am trying to find his mother's (Sophia) maiden name.

3. I am also interested in info about the BIMMLER and DOERICH families of Rochester prior to their immigration to the US. I have the names of Frederich (Friedrich) Bimmler born abt 1823, of Baden, Germany. Wife's name is unknown. I also have the name of Johann Doerich (Dorich) born abt. 1835 of Baden, Wurttemberg, Germany. His wife's name is Rose (no maiden name).

Thank you.
