Prosper or Prosser?

Will — 13 Jun 2006 11:03:47 GMT

For info, my family name of Prossor was often misspelt as Prosper on various documents when they were transcribed for the web, etc. Probably something to do with the "ss" being handwritten as "sf" up to the 1860s. This snippet may provide a break for some people who've hit a genealogical brick wall.

NEED HELP !

My family is : PROSPER PECK , b. abt. 1789 bp. New Jersey . I think his father possibly could be a Abraham Peck due to Prosper Peck first child is named Abraham . And the Abraham is far from Prosper in the census.

I dont know if Prosper had any siblings yet. Still doing research. But, anyhelp on this would be appreciated. I figured with a name like PROSPER it has to be someone maiden name. Maybe his mother or something.. Suggestions are welcome

PROSPER DIT DESGROSEILLIERS

Paul — 29 Oct 2002 2:44:27 GMT

My mother was a Prosper and I have been very active in trying to find out my family tree. My mom descends from the Amable Prosper and Caroline Archambault family. One of their son's John Herve Prosper, born in NY (another direct ancestor) married a woman named Eliza. I would like to know the identity of Eliza. Also the farthest Prosper dit Desgroseillier family member I found through people's help was Joseph Bouchard dit Dorval Desgroseilers Prosper. I would like to go further back, if anyone has the information. My email address is AniPar73@aol.com if anyone wants to help. Thank you!

Hi I am looking for information on my mother's side of the family, which was the Prosper side. My grandfather was Paul Henry Prosper, born 1931 in Pawtucket, RI. He married Ruth Foster in East Providence in 1953. Paul's father was George Prosper who was born most likely in Rhode Island in the year 1902. He married many women, one being Marion Vera, who was born 1906. George moved to Clifton, New Jersey and died there in 1972. I know that George's mother's name was Mary Ellen McGill. If anyone has ANY information please send me it at my screen name AniPar73@aol.com or post it. Thank you very much!

Prospers in Arizona

Candice Sebring Kelber — 15 Aug 2000 5:00:34 GMT

Help!! I am looking for my great-grandmother's family and it is a huge mystery. Her name was Elsie Elizabeth Prosper born around 1890. She married my great-grandfather Richard Lee Sebring around 1907. I know she had a sister named Nellie who married a Tom Wimbish and I think she also had a brother named Joe (presumably Joseph). I do not know her parents names. Unfortunately something went wrong with her and she was committed to Arizona State Hospital around 1915 and her husband Richard told their children (my grandfather and his sister) that she was dead. He died a few years later and the children had to go live with an aunt and uncle.
I have her death certificate, she died in 1960 and no one even knew she was living to begin with so there were no family to attend to her death.
They lived in the Globe, Arizona area. If anyone has any info I would love to hear from them. This is driving me crazy!
Thanks, Candice

"Tex" Prosper

My mother's madien name is Prosper. All I know about her birth father is that he went by the nickname of "Tex". He was married to my grandmother and she was born in 1918...so I'm guessing he was born around that time also. They lived in New Orleans, LA.Thanks for any help you may be able to give.
