********************
I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT WHO THE PARENTS OF THIS JOHN ARE????
John who married Gertrude dies on
Jan. 11, 1892, 8 miles from Mineral Pt., Iowa Co., Wi.
*** His obit simply states*****
John Drees dies Jan. 11,1892 age 44//
***His tombstone states John Trace//
There is no death record for him that I can locate or marriage record??
So I am at a total loss of who his parents are, am looking or hoping for anything.....
??????????
I think the Nicholas that married Margaret Kraus is a brother?, (however his marriage record- civil does not list his parents)because he is around same time,same age frame, and homestead in same area, I am thinking maybe?.
BUT nothing I have proves anything????It is all just unknown...
Any ideas or help would be wonderful... Thanks Vivienne Trace
