Re: Daniel and Delila McDonald

RPokorny — 2012-12-27 17:55:08Z

Hello, I am not related. Hope this helps. RP
-------------
The 1900 census shows Delilah Mcdonald having 11 children, but only 3 living. Martha & Hattie would be 2, and John would have been the 3rd child living during the 1900 census. He was listed as single. Delilah also had 3 Mcdonald grandchildren living with her in 1900 7 1905. I would think they were children of either James or Francis, or possibly William, although william would have been about 18 years old when the first child was born.

There is an obit for Daniel in the Kewaunee County newspaper, as well as an obit for Mrs. John Meverden. There is also an obit for a Herbert, 7 years old, who died in July of 1880.

Daniel and Delila McDonald

bartowenwilliams — 2012-11-27 18:16:20Z

I am looking for the obituaries (or any other information that would list the children) of Daniel and Delila (Bristol) McDonald.

Daniel died on 5 April 1898 in Sevastopol. He was born in Canada in 1832. Delila (nee Bristol) was born in March 1834 in Canada and died 3 August 1921 in Door County (likely Sturgeon Bay).

Census records for 1870 and 1880 show 7 children, but I can only trace what happened to 2 of these children. Any information on the other 5 would be great. Perhaps obituaries from William or Delila would list them and their locations.

McDonald Children

James Born 1857

Francis Born 1858

William, 1863

Martha, 1865 (Married John Meverden and died in Algoma in 1949)

John, 1867

Hattie, 1868, married Collin Morgan Smith in 1890 in Door County

Hubert, 1874

I got this on another post
From Chicago Tribune Archives: July 14, 1933
CHICAGOAN IS DROWNED
Emmett Regan, 29 yrs old of 4863 Kenmore was drowned at Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, when a canoe in which he was riding capsized.

Would someone be kind enough to see if there is an obituary for Emmett. Also, would the death certificate be in Wisconsin? The Chicago Vital Stats do not have him listed. And finally, looking to find out where he would be buried.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Check the ancestr from Trondheim at sor Trondelag websites headed by Linda Schwartz who has collected the group in the Dunn county area from sor Trondelag. I also know Erickson and think Knutson, but don't know off hand. Lensvik, brevik and Husby areas. Indergaard and tons of other names in the ancestry.

Re: Marie Matit Soquet

RuthBarth62 — 2012-08-09 02:20:35Z

You have the correct family. Esperance maiden name was HANNON according to another researchers info...not Hannson.
They are pretty close in spelling as you can see.
Elisabeth Soquet did marry a Bibeau man. Elisabeth Soquet-Bibeau's daughter, Anne Alice Bibeau, surely gave you the correct info.
I'll post this here and they e-mail you.

Re: Marie Matit Soquet

SJoynerHandy — 2012-08-07 15:02:36Z

Ruth, I am confused about this info. Jean P Soquet is listed on the marriage info along with an E. Hannson as the mother of Lizzie's marriage to Basil Bibeau in 1879, supposedly 2 years after he went to prison. Do you have any info on the death of Esperance/Esproundis and actual info on the disappearance of the wife Jean P married after he supposedly killed his wife?

Re: Marie Matit Soquet

SJoynerHandy — 2012-08-05 20:24:08Z

Do you have any more info on his killing of his wife and escaping prison?

Re: Marie Matit Soquet

SJoynerHandy — 2012-08-05 20:21:17Z

This seems to be the same line as my great grandmother Elisabeth Soquet b: 3 jan 1863 in Brown her father was Jean P Soquet and mother was Esproundis/Esperance. I have her maiden name as Hannson. Not sure if she had an older sister named Mary. I do know that Elisabeth's daughter (Anne Alice Bibeau) named her daughter Esproundis, my aunt. My grandmother told me her grandparents were from Belgium. This is the only info I have and have been trying to find more on their heritage.

Re: Koheler marriage

HHilpert — 2012-07-07 20:14:56Z

I don't know anything about Jerry Koehler. He could possibly be some relative of mine. My great grandfather Fred M. Hilpert had a half sister, Justina Knipfing who married fred Koehler .They lived in brooklyn ,Ny York, then moved to milwaukee. They were the sponsors for my great grandparents when they came to America in 1882.My great aunt, Sister Mary Generose,S.S.N.D. used to write and sometimes see, her cousins, Henry and Marion Koehler.Do those names ring a bell? I'll have to try the Milwaukee board to see if anything turns up that I can give you.

Charles Arthur Holmes - obit request

I'm looking for an obituary for Charles Arthur Holmes who died on June 16, 1940.
Perhaps someone knows of a website I can access to get this.

Thanks

Re: Willing to look up obits/share info

jrnasman1 — 2012-06-19 14:13:54Z

If you know approximate dates of death, you should be able to order that year from the Door Co. Advocate through your local library (I believe they get it from State Historical Society in Madison) on microfilm/fiche. I believe there was also another paper at that time called the Door County Democrat, if you are unable to find the obits you need in the Advocate.

Re: White Star Church original organizers

Catgrandma — 2012-05-07 16:26:34Z

I know that your posting was some years ago....I am just beginning to search my husband's family. His gggrand-father and gggrandmother were Gaspard Joachim and Felicie LaTour. The information that I have, so far, indicates that Felice immigrated to the U.S. in 1872. If this matches what you have then you and my husband are cousins. Please reply if you want to continue to share.

Re: White Star Church original organizers

luvtodance46 — 2012-05-03 10:33:53Z

Gatgrandma,
Yes, Felice did emigrate in 1972 along with her parents and sibs. Her brother Louis Latour was my great grandfather. Are you located in Wisconsin?
I have a few photos, one of Felicie and Gaspard, and one of her parents, Melchior Latour and Marie Sarton.

The 1920 census indicates that Ambroise Gaspard Joseph Joachim arrived in 1878.

Anton Long 1835-1915 and his first wife Antonia Long 1846-1888. This would give me a start with looking up their children so I can procede from there.

Also, do you know if there is a published list from the library or newspaper of obituaries that can be obtained online?
Thank you for your offer to search obits.
