Comments: I got your site from Judy German (my sister-in-law) and found it so very interesting! My great grandfather is Hubert Braun and the picture you have in here is the only one I've seen of my great-grandmother (Mary Messing). My Grandma Anna never talked about her much.
Another interesting name I discovered was Heinen which is my mother's mother's maiden name. I'm pretty sure that Susanne Heinen was my mom's aunt.
Great Job!!!

The photo of a single man you sent was Otto at the end of his first marriage in 1922 at Wisconsin Dells on a bridge at the picnic area. His parents sent it to Fern or Frank to show him off. But when he divorced; they disowned him and his.
Thanks for your help and your great webpage I am going to make my self one.

My father's family is Braun. His mother Anna "Kraus" Braun put a lot of memories in writing about when she was married, also some of the "grandparent history" so every name you listed was familiar to me.
I enjoyed it very much and will be forwarding the link to other interested family members.

You are from: Oregon
Comments: I have just begun research on my family, my mother was a Veith, Somewhere she has a listing of the children of Ignatz Veith, her grandfather. My grandfather was John Henry Veith, b. 18 June 1892, d. Nov 1958. I do know that Ignatz was married twice, apparently his first wife died and he married a Rosalie ???, who came from Austria, I don't know when though. They had another 5 or 6 children, and moved to California from Nebraska, but I'm not sure when. I am not sure where exactly but the children lived in Tulare, Stockton, and Hollister, my grandfather was a carpenter but I think he started as a farmer but wasn't very good at it, and lived in Oakland CA from the early 1930's until his death in 1958. At least 2 of my grandfather's brothers were farmers, Hap (Harold) ran a walnut ranch in Hollister CA until the 1970's. There was a Charlie and there was a sister Ann, and I think a sister Elizabeth but at the moment I cannot remember the names of the others.
Rosalie died in the 1930's or early 40's, I think in Hollister.
John Henry, my grandfather, married Hazel Mary Bowen in Stockton in the early 1920's. They had 2 children, Robert James and Cora Lee ( my mother). My uncle Bob was married 3 times but had only 1 child with the 2nd wife, Gloria, a daughter Christine. He was a race car driver and raced in the Indy 500 from 1956 through 1970. He also toured for Goodyear lecturing on safe driving through the 50's and 60's.
My Mother Cora Lee married William Burris McCarthy, 18 Jun 1950. and had 4 children, all girls, Patricia Ann, Mary Katherine, Marian Susan, and Margaret Lee.
Thank you for the information that I was able to find from your page, it was very informative. and your page is very attractive.

Your site was great. I am trying to locate information on my grandmother, Mildred Braun. She was born August 21, 1899 and died April 30, 1963. Since she and my grandfather divorced, before I was born, I never really knew her. My grandfather was a Fred L. Sanborn from Pueblo, Co. He moved around a lot. I know he was in Indiana, Pennsylvania and Texas before retiring to Florida and he is deceased. They had 3 sons. One of which was my father Harold A. Sanborn. I also know that Mildred remarried a man named Edward Papke. I have been in contact with the Papke family and they have done a great job on tracing their Papke family history. However, no-one seems to have much on Mildred. They said she was very mysterious about her past. I do have some pictures of her and of a man who may even be her father. She and Ed Papke lived in Gary, Indiana. If you think that you can help me in any way, please drop me a line.

Again, enjoyed your website. You have done a great job.
Thanks,

I found your website while searching for information about the artist of two paintings I unexpectedly acquired. One is a landscape, on the reverse it reads, "Christmas 1950 Mike Czarneck to John Sokol A token of our friendship." The other painting is a portrait of a man and aI believe he is wearing a flight cap with aviator glasses on his head. It is signed MJ Czarneck. If anyone is interested in these or has information about them, you can email me. Your website is interesting and fun. I believe it took a great deal of time and effort. Congratulations!

I have to say how much I love this web site. I have learned so much more about this side of my family than I could ever
have imagined. The photos and the letter that my grandfather
wrote and all the people and names shed a whole new light on this for me.

My Grandfather was Sylvester (Jim) Sandelier and his daughter Rosemary is my mother. I was only 14 years old when my grandfather died but I remember him like it was yesterday.

My grandmother (Rose Sandelier) (Jim's Wife) just passed
away this January 2001.

Just a note to say how wonderful I think your site is for your family and anyone researching your family name. I am not one of your family,I am one of the many Sykes' out there looking for their family roots. I know they came from England but still have a long ways to go and I just stopped by to see if you had any site listed that might help me. You have done a beautiful job and I commend you for that.

Checked your site to see if you had a Louis Braun who came from Bavaria and married a Pauline Kohlhaas and went on the have 10 children. They lived in Larium, Michigan and for a short time when first married lived in Wisconsin where there 1st. child Mary was born.
I had no luck at your site, but I found it to be a great and informative web page.

I only hope when I am ready to do my own I could do it as beautifully as you have done yours. thanks, Jean Braun

I loved the Site. Well Done! My Grandfather Was William Graham Canfield, and My Grandmother was Mary Belle Fondren. His Father was Washington Graham Canfield, and his Wife was Gracie Jackson. Washingtons' Father was Graham Canfield and his Mother was Sarah Ann Shumate. Grahams' Father was Hezekekiah Graham Canfield and his Mother was Mary(Polly)Rowley. Hezekiahs' Father was Silas Canfield, and his Mother Was Judith Graham.Silas' Father was Timothy Canfield and his Mother was Kezia Ferris. Timothy Canfields' Father was Ebenezer Canfield and his Mother was Mary Henry. Ebenezers' Father was Samuel Canfield and his Mother was Sarah Elizabeth Willoughby or Elizabeth Merwin. Samuels' Father was Matthew Canfield and hi Mother was Sarah Treat.
So there might be a connection with the Grahams. I live in Australia but the majority of my family live in and around Missouri.

Greetings from our ranch in the Sandhills of Nebraska. This is a very interesting site, we have our friend Sue Werpetinski to thank for directing us where to go...we have several good friends in Nance Co. at Fullerton. We are getting lots of information from the Genova area about both sets of grandparents, Frank and Bella Moritz Opela.

Aloha from Hawaii. Born in Franklinville with the Sandler/Sandelier clan, I have lived since college in Florida (10 years), California (10 years), Hawaii (8 years), Nevada (2 years), and am now back in Hawaii (3 years for 11 total). Single, I have a 3-year-old Miniature Pinscher named Shetani ("spirit of the wind" in Swahili) and live in Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Island of Oahu. I am a writer/editor currently working as a technical editor for an international architecture/planning firm that has as clients the Army, Navy, Marine Corps., Hawaii National guard, State of Hawaii, City & County of Honolulu, among many others. In past years I was a newspaper reporter and editor in New Jersey (Camden Courier-Post) and Florida (Clearwater Sun). In San Diego I was publisher/editor of newspapers (The New Democrat, Navy News)and magazines (San Diego County Bar Association DICTA and others)and was elected to three two-year terms in San Diego Democratic Central Committee, three terms on State of California Democratic Party, and served on executive committees of both. I was also elected as a Gary Hart delegate to the 1984 Democratic Presidential Convention as well as four state Democratic Party conventions, and was a political consultant for Sen. Gary Hart, Vice President Al Gore, Sen. Diane Feinstein, and several members of the U.S. Congress, California Assembly, Mayors of San Diego, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, and many others. In 1988, after a visit to Hawaii two years earlier, I sold my businesses in San Diego and moved to Hawaii. In 1989, I was founding editor of Island Home magazine, the only Hawaii magazine ever to win a first-place national award ("Best Home Magazine in the Nation")from the magazine industry. In 1990, I published a coffee-table book "Architecture in Hawaii," a best-seller and the most comprehensive bok ever written on the subject to this day. In 1993, my second coffee-table book, "Architecture in Hawaii" debuted in the No. 2 spot of the Hawaii Best Sellers List and finished 8th for 1993. I am currently writing another golf book, "Legends of Hawaii Golf: The First Century." I also have designed several books since 1982, and have served as editor and contributing writer for more than a dozen books and magazines in Hawaii and California. My newest project, and a means for promoting the "Legends" book, is a website magazine (and e-commerce site): "HawaiiGolfJournal.com" which I hope to have up by the end of the year. Part of the profits from e-comerce sales and book sales will benefit Hawaii Junior Golfers through the Hawaii Junior Golf Scholarship Fund, which I founded in 2000. I am a member of the Hawaii Golf Writers Association and the U.S. Golf Association and actually find time for a few holes now and then. My Waikiki condo overlooks the Ala Wai Municipal Golf Course, which is listed in the Guiness Book of Records as the busiest golf course in the world. I hope to find more time to travel. In recent years I have visited Italy (Venice, Florence, Portofino, Milan, and Lago d'Iseo/Brescia/Italian Alps), Paris, Copenhagen and surrounds, London, French Polynesia (Tahiti, Moorea, Huahine, the Tuamotos, the Gambiers), Alaska, Canada (British Columbia, Vancouver Island, the Klondike), the Bahamas, Mexico, and about half of the Mainland U.S. But there are plenty of places I want to see as a travel/food writer (free first class airfare, cruise ship passage, 5-star hotels and restaurants). The more I travel, the more I realize how much of this planet I have not seen. I hope that all of my cousins and other relatives visiting Hawaii will contact me. Twin brother Richard and his wife, Cheryl, visited for the first time on our Millennium year birthday in May. I was reunited with brother Ed and his wife Pat and daughter Kimberley Ann for almost three months in Florida in the summer of 1997. Family ties are important. And although we have scattered to the far corners of the map, it is nice to know we have the World Wide Web to link us. I am trying to get brother Richard and my mother, Gloria Young, to buy their first computers ever (and join the cyber world finally). Your site is an inspiration and you should be congratulated for all the hard work and research. Aloha nui loa.

A beautiful presentation with much valuable information. Thanks for the beautiful pictures of the Brownback church! I am a Benner descendant, not convinced of a relationship to the Brownbacks, but, from what I have seen and heard of them, I should be glad to find that tie. One of my Benner contact "cousins" shared your address with me.

Hi. I'm not sure if I am related to your DeVitis side but my greatgrandmother was Mamie DeVitis. She immigrated from Italy in the early 1900s. She moved to Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. She was survived by 8 or 9 children (I believe) if you feel that this may be a relation to me, I'd appreciate a message back. This is a wonderful page, even if I'm no related! Thanks

Dear Marge and Bruce - I came across your site when searching for Showalters. It is very intriguing since the origins go back to Pennsylvania, where my grandfather's family originated. My father was Charles Hobart Showalter, Jr, born in Akron, Ohio. His parents were Charles Hobart Showalter, Sr., and Mary Frances Baker Showalter. My great grandfather was David Showalter - I don't know his middle initial. I know there is a Jacob in our family tree but I don't know how far back. I have a family geneology book at home I will have to check out. Thanks for putting all this great info together. Mike Showalter

Dear Marge, I was quite bored earlier tonight when I randomly typed in my name in the Yahoo search engine and "found" your website. My name is Dominic Santoleri III. My great-grandfather was one Donato Santoleri, who emigrated to the states early in the 20th century from Abruzzi, italy. My Grandfather (Dominic Sr.) emigrated after the first world war, approx. 1920. He settled just norhteast of Philadelphia, in New Jersey (which is where my father and I both grew up. I moved to Cincinnati to attend school in 1988, and I still live there. I have a wonderful little boy, Dominic IV (we call him Nick). In the last 6 months or so, I was contacted by an Andrew Santoleri who lives not far from here, and I believe he is a distant cousin of mine... 4th cousin, if I'm not mistaken. At any rate, feel free to contact me: [email protected]

At times I miss being down there, but then I think of the crazy traffic and all those people and remember why we stayed in Northern Maine. Thanks, Steve

This site is wonderful. I found out so much information that my mother had gotten wrong in her research. Now I know why we never found any of my fathers side of the family. Your sight put it all into place with a couple of name changes. I was able to add onto the few scrapes of information I had and track back Anna Josephine Braun and Mathias Francis German and beyond. Thank you for the great work and keep it up

Here, I've been able to glimpse some of it and share in the research you have done on the Brownback family. Keep up the good work (and thank's for the e-mail directing me to this site!).

Hi Marge: It was really interesting to see all the migration patterns forNebraska. It was a good question to ask. I was interested to see that Platte and Nance are your counties. They are mine as well. I've seen your name a lot on the internet but I didn't realize you were researching these counties. I was born in Columbus but moved east with my folks when I was a young child. We are in touch with all our Platte County relatives and re-unite every three years all over th country (wherever a host family lives. ) My research is really in its beginning stages (about six or seven months.) A major breakthrough occurred when, by serendipity, I was informed by Sherri Brakenhoff that her husband and I share the same great-grandmother! She has been really helpful along those lines. Those are my Ostfriesland forebears. I will continue to search for my lines in Insel Ruegen, Schleswig- Holstein and Oldenberg. My Nance county people are from Austria-Poland and settled near Genoa. I am in the process of writing letters to my Polish People. I have obtained the marriage and cemetery books of Platte County. They were of enormous help. Also helpful to me on Nance County were Ted and Carol. I imagine you and I have some common history if not common relatives. Sincerely, Judy Martin P. S. I realize this probably should have been an e-mail and not a guest book entry but I'm on my way to work and haven't time to re-write. Your page is great. We are a computer family too--me, my husband, daughter, son, and grandchildren.
