Seeking exact birthplace in Denmark of my grandfather, James P HANSEN, born  August 1853, I believe in Copenhagen but need the name of the parish.  His father's name was Hans J Jorgensen.  According to the 1900 and 1910 census, he was a constable in Fremont and a bailiff at the courthouse. Thank you. I currently have on loan from the LDS Library the 1900 Dodge County Federal Census and will be happy to do lookups.  This will only be on loan from June, July and August 2001.

I find a Henry Schnose listed in the Nebraska State Gazeteer as a farmer in Dodge County in 1890-1891.  I have contacted the Mid-Continent Library in Independence, MO,  seeking a census record,  but they have no listing for him.  Can you give me any information as to how I can follow up and find more information about this person?  My great grandfather,  Ferdinand Schnose,  homesteaded in Dakota Territory in the 1870 time frame,  near the present town of Alcestor, SD.  Since the Schnose name is not very common,  I am quite certain Henry Schnose would be a relative,  but I have not been able to identify him.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Are there members of your genealogy group who can do research for me in Hooper, and through the Sentinal newspaper in Hooper?   I would like to find any record of the birth of Angeline Cleveland there on May 15, 1893.  Her parents were Sylvester Jerome Cleveland and Sarah Patterson. She had older brothers William Carey and John Henry. They may have been Methodist so if there is no county record of birth or mention of the family in the Sentinal, perhaps there would be a record in a local Methodist church. Please advise of research fees and i can remit those in advance if need
be.  Thank you for your help!  Donna Madrid  4702 Alhambra Dr  Fremont, CA 94536

Elisha Oscar Crosby settled in Fremont, Nebraska circa 1869.  His son Edward C. (or O.) Crosby was born in Nebraska on 25 Feb., 1875.  Elisha seems to have been a promenent lawyer in Fremont while there.  He owned $10K in real estate.  He built Shed's Opera House and chaired the first meeting regarding the establishment of the Elkhorn Valley branch of the Souix City and Pacific Railroad.  He had a domestic servant named William Carol or Carrow (the 1870 census is a little murky on this one) with wife Bertha.  I am searching for any further information on his activities in Fremont including land records (though I should be able to find those through the LDS), birth record or newspaper notice of the birth of Edward on 25 Feb. 1875, possible death record for his wife, Frances, court records, evidence of possible divorce or remarriage of Frances, and any information concerning William and Bertha Carol(?) to clarify his name and activities.

Ruby J. Clark - I just inherited an old photo album that belonged to E.C. and Olive Forney) Frease, who moved from Dodge Co. NE to Cashmere, Chelan Co. WA in about 1900. It has a number of mostly unidentified photos of people who must have been family and friends. However, one photo is identified as, "Ruby J. Clark - Age 3 mo 27 days - Born July 13 1901." The frame says, "C.V.Brokenicky - Leading Photog'r - Dodge, Neb."

I am wondering who Ruby Clark was, and what relationship she had to the Long, Frease and Forney families. These families came to Dodge from Walnut, Bureau Co., IL.

 Am looking for some help or information about my husbands great granduncle, who was a member of the J.C. Cleland Hose Co.  He was born in 1853 in Hjorring, Denmark, and in 1886 was killed in a fire in Fremont.  I have a lovely resolution that was given to his family.  Does Fremont have access to old newspapers, and where would I go to look at them?  I am hoping
to find an account of the fire in the paper.  I only have a date of 1886.   Would the Fire Dept have old records?  Any info or direction you could send me would be very appreciated.  I would be happy to share this document with any one that might be interested.  Thank you.

My husband's uncle's name was Swen Peterson.  He was born in Denmark Jan. 9, 1853 and died in Fremont, Ne. Jan 9, 1886 at 33 years of age.  His family received a resolution stating his "sterling  qualities " and value to the J.C. Cleland Hose Co. after his death.  I don't know if his death was in the line of duty.  There is no date on the paper, but from family records his death is listed as Jan.9, 1886.  He was not married, as far as I know.  His brother was Andrew Peter Peterson, my husband's grandfather.   [ My e-mail addr ess refers to my mustard pot collection.]

My name is Joseph Renter (b. Kraft), and I'm trying to build my family tree. Any help that you could give me would be greatly appreciated. n particular, I'm trying to locate information about Frank Madurajski, who farmed near Dodge, and is buried at St. Wenceslaus in Howells, and Anna Madurajski (b. Frei) who died in 1968.  I seem to have hit walls trying to
go farther back than these two (my great-grandfather, and my grandmother). According to one source, Anna Frei's parents were Jiri and Marketa Frei, but my mom seems to recall it was George and Mary Frei (I've found that there are matching tombstones in a cemetary in Dodge with the names Jiri and George, as well as Marketa and Margaret).
Thank you, in advance, for any assistance that you can provide, or any directions that you can point me in.
