SZCZEPANIAK posted by Tammy L. Szatkowski on Wednesday, February 14, 2001: I've been told that my great-grandmother was born and/or lived in Alabaster, MI (of Iosco County) at some point during the last 1800s. However, I haven't found any concrete information linking her family to the area. I am eager to find out if any one has a link to this family name. My great-grandmother was named Constantine Szczepaniak and she had a number of siblings, including John, Josephine, Francis, Nellie and Julia. I believe her parents were named Valentine and Katherine.
Any information is appreciated!

GRIGGS posted by Joy Savagardner on Monday, April 16, 2001: I am trying to find traces of my grandmother, who may have lived in Iosco County in 1924 thru 1930 or longer. Her name is Frances Griggs. I am almost certain she was from PA. Last seen in New Jersey in 1922.

EVERINGHAM posted by Kevin Everingham on Saturday, May 5, 2001: Looking for all information about the Everingham family of Iosco County, MI. My great grandfather's brother "Robert" died at a young age and was buried in Turner, MI,... he was married at the time (1907) and his widow would have been young. A Mrs. Rachel Everingham was married in Iosco on 5-10-1908 at age 24, was this Robert's widow?

I have not seen the marriage record as I am from a Long ways away, but her marriage record is in Iosco County's marriage book 3, page 148. If anyone could look that up for me, I would pay them for their trouble or copy, etc...

BROKENSHIRE, LEONE, MITCHELL, WHEATON posted by Carole Wolfe on Monday, May 7, 2001: I'm hoping I have the right county, hopefully you will know for certain. I have a copy of an obituary from "The Press" from Oscoda and Au Sable, MI date 1905.

Surnames mentioned are: Mitchell, Brokenshire, Leone, Wheaton.

Obituary is for John Charles Mitchell, died 9-18-1905 in Au Sable at the home of his sister and brother-in-law, W.H. Brookshire. John married Miss Hattie Leone, a sister of Dr. Wheaton, of Syracuse, NY in 1875.

It is also mentioned that he is buried in the north Oscoda Cemetary with his parents, a brother, and a sister. I can find no mention of this particular cemetary. Is it possible it is now named differently?

Any information regarding Mitchell or Brokenshire family would be greatly appreciated.

FLANDERS, MILLER, PFEIFER, SMEADER, YOUNGS posted by Laura L. Miller on Wednesday, May 23, 2001: Looking for information about William Pfeifer (living 1860-1870s) in Tawas and his daughters: Christine, Catherine, Minnie and Anna. He was from Germany and died in 1892. He is buried in Tawas but I don't know much about him or his wife. His daughters married into the families: Youngs, Smeader, Flanders, Miller. Thanks.
