I am looking for information on my Great Grandfather, Julius Gerkie, who was born abt 1867 and died in 1893, Butternut, WI. shortly after the birth of my Grandmother, Elizabeth Gerkie. His wife, Augustie, born 1870 remarried in 1894 to Joseph Rux.

Where would information on the death of Julius Gerkie be located? No certs of birth, marriage or death listed for him in Ashland. He had a farm in Butternut, WI, so is there a land deed for that period of time for him?

My name is Christina Svegbo and I live up in the North of Sweden in a city called Umea.

I am searching information about my mothers grandfather, who arrived to U.S in 1893.

I know that he traveled with a ship called Alaska from Liverpool to N.Y, I also know that he fore a period of time was working and living in �Ryans Camp�, Odanah, Wis.

His name is Anders Gabriel Andersson and his was born 7. September 1864 in Nysatra, Sweden and most likely died 27 Aug 1920 in Clearwater, Min. (via Ancestry.com).

Apart from that I also know that he lived in Cambridge, Isanti, Min. (Ancestry.com,census 1910).

Now I am looking for more information about this man and his whereabouts during the period 1893-1910.

I have a couple of questions;

Where and how can I get some information about �Ryans Camp�, where exactly was it located and was it driven by a Forestry Company (which)?

How can I proceed to get more information about my great grandfather in the period 1893-1910?

I would be most grateful for any help to get on with my search.

I am searching the surnames Hopen, Sorensen, Abrahamson, and Johnson. My great-grandmother was Anna Hopen and she gave birth to my grandfather Henri Olai Sorensen 2-3-1891 in High Bridge, Ashland County, WI. Anna died when he was young and he lived with a family by the name Abrahamson also of High Bridge (I think they took in homeless children). In 1941 he legally changed his name to Henry Oscar Johnson. However, he used the name Johnson many years before legally changing it. If you could add these names to your list I would be most grateful. I don't have first names for Sorensen or Abrahamson.

I have been trying to find out a couple of facts. My grandmother's brother George Nordell was born and died in Mellen,Wi. In November 19, 1948 he married his wife while he was over seas in Germany, Munich. What I was needing to know was if you could find out what her maidname was. Uncle george was born in december of 1900? And he died in december of 1966. Aunt Gert remained in Mellen. She even had a tavern there I think it was called Gerts Place or tavern. I remember that daddy always went there when we would come to spend a couple of weeks during the summer at grandma's house(Martha R. Nordell) Nelson, Adami.I know they never had children. But Aunt Gert's mother married my other uncle Earnest Nordell. I haven't been able to find out anything on him, except birth and death dates. So her maiden name could find out what is left on my family blanks. I sure would be so appreciated of ANY help you can donate. Thanks for any help you can give.

William and his wife, Christina lived in Ashland for many years with their family of twelve. Five of the children were B in Ashland for many years, leaving in late 1885 to early 1886 to Brainerd, Crow Wing CO., MN. where they lived until Christina died in March of 1905. Christina is buried in Brainerd and I have been unable to locate an obit for her.

Apparently William went back to Ashland when his wife and was at their home on 804 Vaughn Avenue when he died. I have a three line obit for him and it states the services were held at his sons ,(Chris's) home and the M.E. church. I have been unable to locate where he was buried.

Could you possibly give me some suggestions and is the old M.E. church still there to write for church records?

I wonder if any one could help me locate relations of Edmund R Walczewski. He is my Mothers' birth father and she would love to full in the blanks on her family history.

He served in the Navy during WWII as a corporal and was killed in action on 20 November 1943. His next-of-kin is listed as Max Walczewski, RT1 Butternut, Ashland. Unfortunately, I do not have Edmund birth date (believe he was 20-22 when he was killed), nor do I know where he was born. I have located a death record for both Max and Edmund but nothing about any other family members.

I would really appreciate if someone could give me a couple of pointers as to where to look next.

SANDSTROM, Edward Martin (baptized Edward Amatus), 1880 - 1956, married on December 14, 1906, to Hilda Sofia NYLUND (changed to NEILUND after arrival in the US), (1885 - 1959). Last residence: 700 18th Avenue West, Ashland.

Hilda Sofia came with her mother Anna Sofia Mattsdotter PETTIL in mid-1892 from K�llby, Peders�re parish, Vasa, Finland, to Metropolitan, MI. where they lived for several. years before moving to Ashland. Hilda Sofia's father was Matts NYLUND (changed to NEILUND after arrival in the US) who came from Finland in early 1892. Anna Sofia died of throat cancer in the early 1930s in Ashland, and Matts died about 1939 in Ashland.

Edward Martin SANDSTROM emigrated from Hango, Finland, to Sault Sainte Marie, MI, in 1902, and moved to Ashland some time later. His father was Adolf Fredrik SANDSTROM (1839 - 1918) and his mother was Engla Agatha WINSTEN (1844 - 1908). Both remained in Finland when Edward emigrated to the US.

Edward and Hilda's children, all born and raised in Ashland, were Edith Aurora (my mother, 1908 - 1992), lived in Ann Arbor, MI, 1949 till her death; Frederick William (1911-1977), lived on 17th Ave. West, Ashland; Mildred Sofia (1914-1958), very active in Saron Lutheran Church in Ashland, married to Lester SEEMUTH, a postal carrier in Ashland, lived on McArthur Avenue; and Arthur Gordon (1917-1981), lived in or near Ann Arbor, MI, from 1953 till his death.

I am researching SANDSTROMS, NYLUNDS (NEILUNDS), PETTILS, GRANHOLMS, SANDSTENS, and SUNDSTROMS.

I retire as of June 30, 2003, and will have a lot more time for researching my family. I already have a great deal of genealogical data, stored in Family Tree Maker 7.0, and would be happy to share with interested parties.

Is there a kind hearted genealogist that would do a death record check for me at the Ashland County Courthouse? Just a one time look up is requested.

Seeking a check for death record of HENRY K. LANHART. He died between 1920 when he & wife, Caroline where living at Chicog in Washburn County and 1930 when his widow, Caroline was living at Mellen with their son, ROY LANHART, in Ashland County. There is no death record found at Washburn County & thus believe he must have died in Ashland County.

Have been searching this lineage for over 10 years and frustrated from lack of records to determine the parents for Henry Lanhart/Lenhart. Henry and his siblings, Mary Ann and George Lanhart/Lenhart are with their mother, Phebe on the 1850 census at Dunn County. Phebe then married a Elisha Brown & moved to MN. I have checked the marriage and death records for Henry, George & Mary Ann Lanhart and come up empty. All their records occurred too early to have parents info on them or no records on file.

This HENRY K (King) LANHART is about the last record that may have the parentage noted. Lanhart is at times spelled as Lenhart.

Thank you so much for any considerations in this request.

I have been doing research for my mother-in-law on her family this past year and have made some great progress.
I do have a have a question though - did the city of Ashland change enumeration district numbers between the 1900 census and the 1910 census? The reason why I ask - her grandparents lived in the same house for 1910 and 1920. They did move from Kansas between 1887 and 1889 (Her grandfather was born on a wagon train 1887-so he said many moons ago- and his sister was born in Wisconsin in 1889. What I also noticed is that the street address was not in the same ED# as 1910 and 1920. We do know that the house was older than 1900.
Any information would be great!!

I am searching for information on my great-great grandfather, Joseph Sicard (sometimes spelled Secord). All I know of him is that he was born in Canada (possibly Quebec) and died sometime around October 1912 after being crushed in a lumber mill accident. He married Caroline (Flageole) Sicard (my great-great grandmother) and had 3 children with her. I have been lead to believe that all the chiildren were born in Cloquet, MN.

I recently came across some information that he and his wife, Caroline, are buried in Asland, WI., even though Caroline died in Duluth, MN. on January 22, 1948. On top of their tombstone reads "Woodman of the World Memorial". I am curious as to why they are both buried there and am wondering if that happens to be the place where they lived.

Can you tell me if there are any people in Ashland who might be related to Stanley Bonk married to Rose "Myrotek" Bonk. My grandmother Francis Bonk was born there. She also had a brother by the name of Jerome Bonk who became a priest at St Anthony of Padue in Indiana. My great grandfather Stanley Edward Bonk came to Ashland in about 1850's and married Rose who I believe was born in Ashland. Thanks for any help.

. I am trying to locate info regarding the O'Connell family in butternut. I know my grandfather is buried there. He was Catholic. So I'm assuming he would have been Baptized in a local church. If you have any info on local Catholic churches or their baptismal records please email me at colleenadkins63@aol Thank You!

Searching for birthplace of Eleanor BRYAN b. 1874, WI. Two known brothers George Adelbert BRYAN and William Clark BRYAN. This family was found in Rockland, MI in 1899 and ASHLAND, WI in 1905. Several children were born to William Clark BRYAN there (he married Florence Watt). Need to find out who parents of Eleanor, William and George were. Any assistance you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for my grandfather, Joseph Hughes, also known as H. J. Hughs, who was working in a logging camp when he went to the post office in Glidden to post his pay home to his family in Casco, Wisconsin. On his way back to camp he died suddenly of unknown causes. That was December of 1902. By family tradition he was murdered in a payroll holdup but apparently that was not true. I have recently come across a short newspaper article published in the Ahnapee (Algoma) Wisconsin newspaper referring to his obituaries published in Northern Wisconsin papers. I have written to the Ashland County Historical Society but the letter was returned undelivered. I also wrote to the Ashland Paper but have had no response. Do you have any suggestions as to how I might trace an obituary that I know was published in 1902? I will appreciate any advice you may be able to furnish me.

Searching for William Clark BRYAN and brother George Adelbert BRYAN who lived in Ashland Co. WI in late 1800's early 1900's. William married Celeste GILBERT and George married Rebecca EARLY. Have found bits and pieces of them in that area but am especially trying to locate County in New York where the 2 BRYAN brothers were born. I have located one death record on an Adelbert BRYAN in Ashland and a birth of a baby in Superior, WI from my line. Am looking for parents of these 2 brothers, who possibly are buried in Ashland. Mother may be Samantha (not proven) and father may have been Adelbert or William. Any assistance you may be able to lend would be greatly appreciated. Cannot trace this family in New York because I don't know who father was or WHERE they were born. Think somehwere in Ashland records there must be listed place of birth for these 2 boys. MANY THANKS!!!!

I am trying to locate a death certificate or cemetery record for a relative. There was a small (few sentences) in the Ashland paper after the death, but nothing more...wife left the area so we are assuming he was buried in Ashland (lived on 11th Ave. West.) Do you have someone who looks up at the ARC or at the court house?

His name was Amasa S. Pickett who died 16 Dec. 1887...about 38 yrs old...don't know parents or exact birth date. He was married to Catherine A. Tallman. I'm not sure in this county how detailed the death records were at this date, but since he was young, his wife should have been able to give all the information since she was still living.

I hope that you can help me. I have searched the various Wisconsin Historical sites, the USGENWEB sites and have not been successful in my quest.

I am trying to locate a Childrens Home/Orphanage in Ashland on Lake Superior where my Grandfather was supposely placed by his father. I do not know the name of the place, but I am trying to trace my Grandfathers history and have been unsuccessful in locating his brother or sister.

Do you know of any places that may have existed back in the early 1900's? My Grandfather (Frank Monian) was born in October 1907. I do not know when he was placed in the home, but my Aunt tells me he was placed with a family/farm, which he ran away from when he was 16. So, that narrows it down from 1907 - 1923.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide in helping me to track down this home/Orphanage.

Sincerely,
Debbi
