| John Paul Zielke 1357 Dickens Dr. Salinas,CA 93901 408-449-3440 | Hi, I'm from Coloma, MI.My father's lines [ZIELKE, KASISCHKE, TONN, etc. quickly find their roots in Prussia].We have no info. onthe TONN line, which we believe came from Russia.My maternal grandmother's lines also come from Germany [GEIK, WERNER].No headway on those at all.Most of my success has been on my maternal grandfather's lines [CARTER, McKEE, BOYER, WETMORE, REDDING, ROGERS, HILDRETH, OSBORN, SWAIN, etc.]It's amazing how many of these lines came to Berrien Co. Michigan from Jefferson Co. NY.That's where I've dead-ended on most of them.Vital records in the early 1800's are non-existant.Most of the county didn't get settled until 1800 - 1820.Getting back to the preceeding generation is tough!HELP!!!!For example:I'm searching for information about:Isaac L. & Hannah CARTER-Jeff. Co., NY[children = Isaac, Hannah, Elkanah, Jerry, John, Boen][Isaac L. = b. 1788 in Mass ... but where?]Joshua & Fanny ROGERS-Jeff. Co., NY[Joshua = b. 6 Apr 1795 in RI ... but where?][he died young-murdered in 1828]Justin, son of Peter BOYER-Jeff. Co., NY |
