I am looking for information regarding the family and children of Matilda and Jacob RANBERG - also spelled as RAMBERG. They are listed in the 1910 census with both Holloway and Hathaway surnames. See 1910 Neosho Co, KS city of Chanute, pages 113B and 128. Listed also are the children of Anna C. {RANBERG} W. M. (MELLIN) CLAY. Anna Christine is the daughter of Jacob and Matilda. Matilda and Jacob also had sons named: Edwin H. RANBERG/RAMBERG who married "Julia. There is a step-son Charles McCLOSKEY listed with them in the 1910 census. Jacob N. RANBERG/RAMBERG is listed as "Nicholas J. RAMBERG, with his wife who's named begins with "M", I believe. In the same household are Fred and Allie HATHAWAY; and George GOLDEN. The WW1 Draft Card for a Nicholas RANBERG dated September 1918, has a person listed at his residence (1641 Penn. Kansas City, MO) as "Viola RAMBERG". Carl E. RANBERG/RAMBERG, I have not located any information on Carl E. RAMBERG/RANBERG. Additionally, the census indicates that the father Jacob RANBERG and sons Edwin and Jacob N. RANBERG immigrated in 1881. I do not have access to that sort of information, so I cannot confirm it. If you have any information on this family, including sisters Vinnie and Sadie MELLIN, I would love to hear from you and would appreciate your help. ------------------------------------- FESSLER...BALDWIN Kate McCain (kate.mccain@ischool.drexel.edu) 13 January 2006 My best information is that Harry Baldwin FESSLER was born in Chanute, KS 2 Jun 1896.
