Would like to find their graduation pictures in the HS annual. ------------------------------------------ WINTER...FRIESEN Mary Smith (redhd4str8@aol.com) 14 November 2005 I am wondering if someone can help me. I have a big mystery in my Winter family. Gottlieb and Catharina "Kraut" WINTER were in Marion county Kansas in 1880. Their daughter must have been abt 15 when she had a baby girl named Sarah FRIESEN that was born in Ks abt 1882, the actual census says March 1882. Living down the road was a John FRIESEN, about her age, son of a Gerhard and Maria FRIEGEN/FRIESEN?. However I am told this John is the Johan G FRIESEN that married a Katharina JANZEN. I have also located a Sarah FRIESEN born March 1882 in Marion county Kansas, but she is the apparent daughter of a Jacob A FRIESEN and Katharina EITZEN. This Jacobs first or maybe second wife was a Katherine WINTER. This Sarah married a Henry KRIEGER. I really would like to figure out who the real father of Sarah FRIESEN, Grand-daughter of Gottlieb WINTER was. What Happened to Catherine WINTER, daughter of Gottlieb WINTER?? Can anyone help me out? ------------------------------------------ GOODSEL...REED...JOHNSON Irma Miller (irmamh@tek-web.com) 14 November 2005 The following are family members; Charles GOODSEL Daisy REED John Wilson REED Arthur and Lucretia REED John JOHNSON Because I have started very late in trying to find my husbands family roots every one has past who could tell me anything so am looking for any information available on some of these. Thank you for any help you can give me. ------------------------------------------ WATERMAN...CAMPBELL riverrummer1850@wmconnect.com 29 October 2005 WATERMAN and CAMPBELL from Florence.

I am also interested in finding his first wife Catherine Shaffer HOUSE's death record, also in Canada or Marion Twp, in about 1886. I looked at the State Archives site and was confused as to whether to send to Marion Co. (and if so, who to) or to the state archives. I've got many years of research but find each county has their own way of storing records, some at the courthouse, some at the public library, some at the historical society, etc. so each new county is a whole new experience for me. ------------------------------------------ KLINE J W (lukn4kin@pacbell.net) 4 October 2005 Looking for information on Joseph KLINE and wife, Anna (ALLEN) (MUSICK) (BROWN) KLINE.
