FRANCISCO posted by Linda Schreiber on Monday, June 20, 2005

I am trying to track down any information on a brother of my great-grandmother. He was named Aller [occasionally Oller} Gritman Francisco. He was born in NY in 1833, as far as I know. He would have moved with his family to northeast OH at around the age of 7 or 8. The next I hear of him is from his sister's obituary in OH in 1903.... At her death, he was the last of the siblings still living, and was in Albion. [Or at least somewhere in the area of Albion. You know how geographical descriptions can be, at long distance. They mention the largest town, or the county seat.] I am new to Nebraska genealogy. Would appreciate any info on Franciscos in the area, or any advice on what resources are available for finding info on him and his family. Linda Schreiber

TURMO, XAVIER posted by John Xavier on Monday, December 19, 2005

Inquiring on anyone having information on my grandfather, Rev. Karl Xavier, or his family, including wife, Bina (Kamrud)Xavier, and 10 children: Karen (Magdalene), Peter, Paul, Valborg, Anna, Bjarne, Karl (my father), Valdemar, Mabel and Borghild, and adopted cousin, Mabel Holtan. Also any of the Turmo men who were pastors at Immanuel Church. Rev. Xavier lived in Bradish/Newman Grove area from 1910-1919 as pastor of the Immanuel Lutheran Church (Now Immanuel-Zion.) I have both centennial and 125th anniversary books of I-Z, but am seeking more information. This is both for family history and a Master's project, either at U of Minnesota or U of Nebraska-Lincoln. I am also going to share with I-Z church and the Boone County Historical Society the items I develop. Example: My family has an original hand-written funeral sermon from 1918 for a young sailor from Boone County. All this will be written up, explained, and illustrated with pictures and footnotes for all to share.
