Does anyone have any information if there had ever been any kind of landfill or dump area around the 600 block of Foerster Avenue from the early times? Also, if anyone has any pictures of the area as the street was becoming developed, it would be very much appreciated.

Where is this Foerster Ave located? If in Appleton, I read somewhere once that many of the original ravines were used as dumps until they were finally covered over and built on. marjcrane@aol.com

This is my Great Grandfather- he was one of the first street railway construction foreman in the country. He superintended the crew which installed Appleton's first car tracks. He also was one of the six chartered members of Zion Lutheran Church. He was Born in Carnitz, Germany. He came to America and settled in Appleton in1881. He was living At 622 E. Randall St. when he died June 1st 1930 he was 79. He left a wife, three sons Albert and Louis of Appleton, and William Jr. of Milwaukee, four daughters: Mrs. Anna Dundon, from Ysilanti, Mich, Mrs John Hanway ( my grandmother) and Mrs. Peter Gregory both from Detroit, Mich, and Mrs. William West of Cleveland, Ohio and 15 grandchildren. I am hoping desperately to find a family member. I have never met any of my Grandmothers family and recently found out my Great Grandfathers name. I live in Florida, so I have to do the research from afar. Any help is greatly appreciated. Kitty

"I checked with Craig Nohr of Appleton. He has a family history book, but none of the entries matched up with this William." Thank you for checking. I'm just sorry that it didn't turn out good for me. I'll keep hoping that someone will find something. thanks again- K

Emily's parents: William J. and Willimina Nohr were buried at Riverside Cemetery . William was buried around June 2, 1930. The address of Riverside Cemetery was at that time, 714 N. Owaissa St. Appleton, WI. I live in Florida, I can't make that trip now, but would love for someone to go and take digital pictures of the graves and email (Kitdair@gmail.com) them to me. I never knew my grandmothers parents or siblings. At the time of Williams death sons Albert , Louis, and William Jr. were still alive along with four daughters: Anna Dundon, Mrs Hanway (my grandmother), Mrs. Peter Gregory, and Mrs. William West. Also 15 grandchildren- I have none of their names. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You! KHanwayLoftin

I am researching all NOOYEN branches and attempting to complete family groups. *NICOLAS NOOYEN* born 5 Feb 1802 in Boekel-Milheze, Noord Brabant, Netherlands died 14 Mar 1882 in Outagamie Co. Nic Nooyen (wife Johanna Maria Maas) was widowed when he came to Little Chute to live with his daughter PETRONELLA NOOIJEN/NOOYEN born 30 Oct 1834 in Gemert, Noord Brabant, Netherlands and died 4Nov 1891 as Petronella Nooyen-HORKMAN-VANDER WYST (West). Petronella was married twice, at least. One husband was JOHN FRANCIS HORKMAN and they had a daughter MARIA LOUISE HORKMAN who married CHARLES DE YOUNG. Nicolas, Petronella, Maria Louise and Charles were all buried at the De Young family stone in St. Joseph Cemetery, along with other family members. Information on NOOYEN family in the Fox Valley appreciated! Please contact" Julie Mofle at: <juliemofle@sbcglobal.net>

Would like to contact living Thiel relatives in Mecklenburg. Previous towns of ancestors are: Barkow, Broock, Lubz, Granzin, Kuppentin, and Demen. Contacts today are more likely in larger towns, such as Parchim, Plau, Goldberg, Crivitz, or Schwerin.

Does anyone know where I can find the above yearbook for sale? This was the year my mother, Doris Meyer, graduated, and I think one of my sisters has her book. She played trombone in the school band and she and her sisters Marge and Fritz were the Meyer Sisters trio in the 50's. Any info on where I could buy one would be greatly appreciated! Does anyone out there remember this family? They lived on Lake St. for years. Thanks.

My mother's family, John A./Hazel C. Meyer and children: John, Clyde, Marjorie (Marge), Doris (Toddy), Edythe (Fritz) attended this church and the girls all sang in the choir. I am looking for information/photos on the Meyer Sisters trio from the 1950's. They performed at the VFW and possibly the church, too. Their pianist was Arlene Ohm, and I'm told she still lives in the area. I don't know the name of the church these days, as EUB and Methodist combined in 1968. Thank you. stafford619@msn.com, Nancy.

I would like to say thanks just to be able to see these pictures. Appleton's mayor in 1862-64 William Johnson is the brother of my gggrandfather, James Penrose Johnson. He died in the CA goldfields, 1850 and little is known about the family except what is published about William.
