MULHOLLAND posted by Jim Buckley on Friday, March 2, 2001

In the obituary of my ancestor, Isaac MULHOLLAND (Malvern IA, 1905), it states that he had a brother living in Nebraska. In the 1900 census, the only MULHOLLANDs that I could find lived in Valparaiso Village in Saunders County. If anyone has researched this family, I would appreciate knowing if Roland MULHOLLAND is that brother. Thank you.

HAPKE, MANTAI, NITZ posted by Sigrid Perry on Thursday, March 29, 2001

Augusta (nee Mantai) Nitz b. 26 Nov 1872 and died Sept. 1973 in Wahoo, Nebraska (Saunders county). I believe her nephew was Gustav Hapke (b. 1 Dec 1883 in Poland and died in Wahoo, 29 Nov 1964). Since she was over 100 years old when she died, I am hoping there is an article or longer obituary on her. I would like to know when she emigrated, her husband's name, any other vitals, any children's names, and where she considered her birthplace to be. She is my maternal great-great-aunt. Thank you for any assistance you can give me.--Sigrid Perry
