Cecelia Schumacher Kluthe

Lois_Goodrich — 2009-11-15 02:35:12Z

I understand that the name of Cecelia Schumacher Kluthe is recorded in a White Lake History book? Something like page 116 pops into my memory bank but I may be wrong. Would like to have a copy of the excerpt sent to my email address goodyrl@att.net
(that is R and a L (for Lois) as some people mistake it for the number one)

Cecelia is my great aunt and was married to Frank K. Kluthe.

Thank you.

Julie Raver Books

JanisKay88 — 2008-11-22 14:09:12Z

I found a photo in my grandmother's album that states "Grandchildren of Christ(Christian)Raver.Julie Books' kids.
I can't find any record of Uncle Christ having a daughter named Julie - only a son named Wavel.
The photo is old- probably before 1900.There are three children-2 girls standing on either side of a baby sitting in a chair.They are outside in front of a log/wooden wall.
Christian is the son of George Raver and Catherine Welty.(My grandmother was his sister-in-law.)

Leonard William Books married Doris Helen Friend. I don't have the location of that marriage yet, or information on Doris. She died of cancer when my father was very young. Leonard had children with both wives. He lived in St. Clair Shores and owned a business called Len's Prop Shop, which one of sons took over after his death. He passed away not to long ago and was cremated, the ashes were spread over Lake St. Clair. Please e-mail me direct at tsaritsa@msn.com and I will send you what information that I have.

George Books

JBooks — 2002-01-09 02:20:21Z

My Great-great grandfather was a George Books who was born in Pennsylvania between 1800-1803 and moved to Ohio and then to Indiana. He would have been living in Indiana in 1855. Do any of these places or dates fit your George Books? George also had a son, George, Jr.

Books Family

JBooks — 2002-01-09 02:20:21Z

I believe that Jean Harner is researching your Books' line. I'll have to find her e-mail address to be sure. Did any of your Books' family end up in Northern Indiana? I know Jean and I have tried to connect our Books' families for some time. I'm sure a good number of Book and Books families are related, we just haven't been able to find the missing links.

Books Family

JBooks — 2002-01-09 02:20:21Z

I will have to find Jean Harner's email address. She is researching the same family which we feel may be connected to our Books' family. They lived so close in Indiana that it seems very feasible that they were descended from the same Books' family in Pennsylvania. As I mentioned before, my George J. Books was born in Pennsylvania between 1800-1803 then moved to Ohio and on to Northern Indiana by 1850. Whitley County is quite close to Miami County, where I believe your Books' family settled.

JBooks — 2002-01-09 02:20:21Z

I sent an email to Jean Harner, who is also researching your Books' family. She has not responded so I don't know if she did not receive it or has changed her email address.

Jean has wanted to hook up with our Books' line for a long time. We have been unable to go back far enough to see if there was a common relative. Our George was born 1800-1803 and your George was born 1818. Our family moved to Ohio from PA and I don't know about yours.

You might do a search in the different databases for Jean's name. I wish I knew another way to get in contact with her. If you look up your George's name in some of the genealogy groups, you will likely run into her.

JBooks — 2002-01-09 02:20:21Z

Debra,

I'm trying to tie my George J. Books to Dauphin County as well. A George Bucks married a Margaret Brandt in Dauphin County in 1827 which may tie in with my George and Margaret Books. Do you know what township your Books are from? I have no firm evidence but I do know a number of Books who use the plural Books (instead of Book) seem to have originated in Dauphin County. Also, the name has been spelled Bucks (Buck) as well.

Sarah Books

JBooks — 2002-01-09 02:20:21Z

Hello Patti,

I do not know if there is a connection or not but I am trying to tie my gggrandfather, George Books, to Dauphin County, PA.

George was born between 1800-1803 in Pennsylvania. I found a record where a George Bucks married a Margaret (Rebecca) Brandt in 1827 in Dauphin County. This could fit in with my George and Margaret because the timeframe is the same and the surnames Books and Bucks are often interchangeable.

George and Margaret Books moved to Montgomery County, Ohio by the 1830s and all their children were born there. By the way, they had a daughter named Sarah, too.

Do you know when Sarah and Jacob Fisher moved from Pennsylvania to Montgomery County, Ohio?

Thank you for your assistance.

Books Family from Wisconsin to Michigan

JBooks — 2002-01-09 02:20:21Z

Hello,

David Daniel Books, son of George and Margaret Books was born June, 1842 in Ohio and died February 8, 1924 in Rock Falls, Dunn County, Wisconsin. He married Lucinda Whitehead Simpson November 8, 1863 in Goshen, Elkhart County, Indiana.

I am a descendant of David's older brother Jacob Books.

William Henry, the oldest son of David and Lucinda, was born January 16, 1865 in Goshen, IN. and died December 17, 1937 in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

William Henry was a farmer and a logger. He married Effie Lenara Coen, daughter of Charles Coen and Mary Pagen. William and Effie had 16 children. Only ten lived to adulthood.

Frederick Douglas Books, the oldest son of William and Effie was born March 11, 1889 in Porters Mills, Eau Claire County, WI and died December 9, 1972 in Mount Clemens, MI.

Frederick married Martha Johanna Schrader (Schroeder) June 1911 in Michigan.

I hope this has been helpful. Perhaps you can fill in some details on Leonard William Books for me.
