I am researching the THATCHER family. Great grandfather Isaac C. THATCHER lived in Raymond and his first wife, Sarah Jane Mitchell is buried in the Oak Creek Cemetery as well as his son Austin and his daughter, Mary Rachel THATCHER STEIN, my grandmother. Isaac married a second time and is buried in Wyuka. He died in the Soldier's Home located in Milford at that time.
There are other THATCHER children of Isaac and Sarah `that I have lost track of and would appreciate help if anyone knows of their history. Children of Isaac and Sarah: Charles M. THATCHER married Anna DENSBERGER, Minnie THATCHER married Lewis SHATTUCK, Rose M. THATCHER married Charlie FRITZ, and John Norcross THATCHER married but I don't have the name. I would greatly appreciate any information about any of these ancestors.

Thanks for all the tremendous work you've done! I've found out so much about my mother's family here, and hope to learn more...
On my mom's mother's side, I'm related to Thomas Coppinger and Sophia Drummond (also written as Drummer, Drummers, Dummer, Drummell, etc.)who lived in Raymond, NE from about 1860's or so until Gggrandmother Sophia died in 1929. Thomas and Sophia's daughter, Maude, married into the Brightenburg family (other lines are Perkins, Meyers, Fletta and Pisarczak).
On my mother's father's side, from the Centerville area are:
Spellman, Krull, Schmutte, Treddemeyer, Reller, Turo, Wosterhof, Boname, Siek and Rust.
I'd love to hear from any relatives. I'd also love to hear from anyone who knew my family (especially my gggrandmother, Sophia Coppinger). My grandmother was Edith Marie Brightenburg, my grandpa was Donald Frank Spellman, and their daughter, Donna Marie Spellman, is my mom.
Thanks again for all your good work on this web site.

Hilda took the boat over to Ellis Island in 1920 and then traveled across country to Jules. I am now looking for any information on their daughter Eliza M. Farrington born in 1922 in Neb. Also could use Jules mothers given and maiden name. Regards, Joyce Cubley

I have just returned from Firth, Nebraska searching for my ancestors. My question is how big a town was Firth in the 1860's - 1870's? The people my sister and I talked to didn't know where we might find any history of the town. We stopped in the Post office and the bank, the lady at the bank was helpful but said she knew of no place where there was any history. I wish I had gone back and interviewed her. We did find the ancestor we were searching for in the cemetery, his infant son and granddaughter. But we had been told that this ancestor was a carpenter and built most of the homes in the town and ran the lumber yard. We were disappointed not to find information on him. Do you know of anyplace where there could be some information? Thanks so much. Elsie

Three of my ancestors, who emmigrated from Silesia ( former Germany, now Poland) came to Nebraska. Since my genealogy researches ( started in December 2001) I found some of their traces. My great aunt PAULINE TINGELHOFF (maiden SCHOLZ) ( 1886 - 1967)lived between 1920 and 1930 ( census records) in Lincoln, Lancaster County. She is buried at Wyuka Cemetery, Lincoln, together with her husband FRANK
TINGELHOFF.Her brother GUSTAV SCHOLZ lived at Seward,NE and died in 1913 through a Tornado. His descendants still live in Nebraska , Illinois and Minnesota. If anyone has some further infos or a connection to the families SCHOLZ, TINGELHOFF, GERDES, HAINKE( of Kansas) I would be glad about an email.Thank you, Angelika

I visited Fairview Cemetery on July 5, 2004, looking for Gillispie. After walking 2/3rds of the cemetery, finally found them. Call the cemetery first before visiting as it is fairly large. The cemetery entrance sign does not mention it was formerly the Havelock Cemetery. Thanks for updating the cemetery address.
