I am looking for any and all info on my Milliken family in Nebraska.

dedicated to him. Also a Milliken school. My uncle Thomas still
resides there in Fremont. I'm very interested in David Milliken,
who "got off the boat" from Ireland in 1867. He was born 12
Nov 1826 in Londonderry Ireland. Also connected too O'Neal, Landis,
Cusack and Kastle. Please e-mail me with any info and as I have many

In your Dodge Co. Business list for 1890-1891, you show Thomas Cronland
as Marshal of North Bend. He is a lost ancestor of mine. Since he was a
Town Marshal, I was wondering if a photo was ever made of him? Like in
a newspaper, town record? He was involved in a gunfight in 1895. I obtained
a copy of the shooting from the North Bend Library.
Thanks in advance for any info.

I am completely at a loss. I can't seem to get past the name Reinhart
Kurtz. I know he was either 1st or 2nd generation American but I can't
seem to get anywhere with that name. The other thing I have heard
is Dodge NE but there again it leads nowhere do you have any ideas' for
me?

Mon, 5 Nov 2001 21:12
Last summer I made a trip to Dodge, NE looking for the grave of my
great grandfather, John Bauer. I visited several cemeteries, but
was unable to locate his grave. I have recently learned (from your
fine web site) that he is in St. Joseph's Cemetery south of Dodge.
I am certain that I visited St. Joseph's Cemetery last summer, but I apparently
overlooked his marker. I want to make another trip to Dodge this
coming summer to visit his grave. Since I live in Reston, Virginia,
I want to confirm that his grave is in St. Joseph's before I undertake
another trip. Can you give me the e-mail address of some kind person in
Dodge who would consider driving out to St. Joseph's cemetery and confirming
that his grave is there?
Thank you.

I am looking for any information on the Hasebroock family that immigrated
to the United States from Germany and settled in Dodge Co, Nebraska.
My great grandfather Henry Hasebroock was born in a dug out in Dodge Co.
by Crowell, Nebraska (the Dead Timber area) and 10 years ago there was
a report to my grandfather that someone had found the dug out. This
person who discovered the dug out has died and we are now trying to locate
the dug out, which has members of my family burried outside of it. If anyone
could help me on any of this needed information I would be greatful.

I am looking for information on four families: Frahms, Farnsworths,
Palmers and Bahms of Dodge county. Emma Bahm was
born in Malmo, Nebraska - Saunders County, NE - 31 May 1893 and married
Harvey Frahm. Ida Bahm married Bill Palmer & were raising a family
in the 1930's.
My grandfather's family (Frederick [Fritz] Christian Bahm and Eva Christine
Zeller) were married in Fremont in 1877, lived in Wahoo, died in Malmo,
buried in Wahoo in Union cemetery. They had a large family who spread out
to other towns and
counties. My grandfather, Gustaf Bahm b. Jan. 28,1891,
said they attended the Lutheran church.
My grandmother, Elizabeth Joe Hancock b. Nov. 23, 1890, was born
in Papillion, Sarpy county, lived in Colon, Saunders
County. I have been searching for birth certificates, deeds,
land grants, naturalization papers, letter of intent, newpaper articles
etc. My great grandfather was a printer (Morris H. Hancock, wife: Laura
Bell Clegg) who moved around a bit, but kept his land in Colon--still
in the family today. I have been hoping that perhaps there would be some
newpaper articles about them in old newspapers. They were very active
in the Presbyterian church (1890-1920) and are buried there.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

I am interested in information of Arthur Gibson. Born 25 July 1844
died 12 Aug 1902 Ridge Cemetery Sergeant 3rd. Colorado Cavary
Aug 15,1864-Dec 28,1864. Owned a bookstore in Fremont at 6th & F street,
may also be 106 W 6th. I am researching an Indian battle he was in.
It was in eastern Colorado on Nov 29th 1864. I have been told he
took white women scalps from one of the teepees. His daughter told
stories that they were kept in a safe in the back of the bookstore and
she was always scared to go near the safe. It sounds as if it was
a walk-in safe. Can anyone document anything about this for me?
