BURCHELL, HOWARD, SHANAHAN posted by Patrick O'Brien on Tuesday, August 8, 2000

My g-grandparents lived in the area around Colon. They were Mortimer Howard & Elenora (Elsie) Burchell Howard. Their family moved to Saunders county about 1870. I found their graves at the Holy Rosary Cemerary (5 miles west of Colon) but I have been unsuccessful in obtaining records from the Catholic church in Colon (St. Joseph). My grandfather Samuel B Howard married Bridget Shanahan from Wisconsin, but they lived in Holt County when they were married in 1884. However, Bridget's brother Malik is also buried at the Holy Rosary cemetary. How did he get to Saunders? Was he also married to a Howard? Another Howard (Bartholomew) was married to a Johanna Burchell. There is some documentation that Bartholomew also lived in Saunders county. I am trying to find out if Bartholomew was related to Mortimer and how Johanna is related to Elsie? Do you have any suggestions as to how I might find more information about these folks?
