My great-great-grandfather JAMES EZEKIAL JONES, born 27 Sept. 1848, was apparently married 14 Nov. 1866, at Lehigh, Webster Co., Nebraska, to Catherine Mariah Bullington, who is buried in the Sterling Cemetery. James Ezekiel Jones died 26 Feb. 1895 at Lehigh, Webster Co., Nebraska. I am looking for more information about the Jones family.

Related family lines from Ohio are Steffy, Feather, Mills, Dickerson; and other lines found in neighboring Gage, Lancaster, and Otoe Counties include these prior plus Coyne, Edwards, and Wilson. I have several generations on some lines; not so much on others. Feel free to ask. I can be contacted at: Richard D. Wilson, P.O. Box 961921, Riverdale, GA 30296.

KOSTROSKY, PETERS, WADEMANN posted by Richard Moore on Thursday, April 8, 1999

I have information correcting my spellings of my family Surnames. The correct spellings from the death certificates are: WADEMANN PETERS KOSTROSKY Information from those certificates state conflicts in country of origins fields, and census records in 1900 provide further conflict. Census says GERMANY for birthplace of siblings and parents alike, for WADEMANN and KOSTROSKY, and Poland for PETERS. Newspaper articles report JOSEPH JOHN AND CAROLINE [PETERS] WADEMANN came to the USA in 1890,settling first in Woodland, California, and moved to Blue Hill, NE in 1891-2, with my GGGrandParents WILHELM AND CAROLINE [PETERS] WADEMANN, with my GrandFather JOHN WADEMANN and a brother and sister. Stories told report that the WILHELM WADEMANN FAMILY emigrated to Luseland, Saskatchewan in 1908, with ROBERT KOSTROSKY, who had arrived in time, from Germany, to travel with the WADEMANN FAMILY, and join his KOSTROSKY FAMILY in Luseland, Saskatchewan. I need information on these fine homestead families. Please contact me, it is very important.

I am looking for information on George and Dora Vittato(e)/Vetteto. I know they were living in Blue Hill(s), Nebraska in the first half of this century. George Vittatoe was a half-brother to my great grandfather, Frances Marion Kessinger. George was born in the last half of the 1800's ( 1870-1890 range). If there are any census records, land records, birth or death records, etc., I would greatly appreciate any leads I can get. Frances Marion was born in Kentucky, 1863-1868. George was either born in Kentucky or possibly Indiana. This is all the information I have at the present. Hope to hear from you soon.
