QRYTEXT: Trying to find information on Jacob FLURY. I show he, his wife and family in the
1900 federal census in Kearney City, Buffalo, Nebraska. His wifes name was Catherine. He
was born in, then it was Prussia now part of Switzerland, in February 1832. He emmigrated
to the U.S. in 1855. His wife is shown in a picture with their oldest son and his family
dated arounf 1910. So I think Jacob died between 1900 and 1910. There is no mention of him
going to either Oregon with his wife or going to Wyoming with two of his other children. I
suspect he gied in Bebraska but not proven. Would really appreciated any assistance on
this
Thank you
Bob

QRYTEXT: Need some helpp/idea's on this one. Trying to tie down a gg-grandfather. His name
was John SOMMERVILLE. He was buried in Kearney cemetery, Kearney Ne. I have a copy of the
Federal government list of grave markers. He died January 27, 1894. That date is too early
for any of the groups I have used before to get death certificates. Can someone tell me
who to contact?
thanks

QRYTEXT: Trying to locate the burial information on a gggrandfather. His name was
Jacob/Jakob FLURY/FLURI. His last known address was in Ravenna, Buffalo, NMebraska. He was
born in Prussia (Switzerland) in 1832. I have one letter that identified his burial in
Ravenna General Cemetery as J.I.FLURI. The birthdate is the same and the fact of serving
in the Civil War is correct, the problem is when I try to look up the cemetery, it states
that the Ravenna General Cemertery is now made of three cemeteries that combined. When I
search on this site it is a negative on finding the record. The question is how can I geta
print of the grave stone or a copy of it. I really would like to include that in my
records.

QRYTEXT: Looking for information on a Louise SOMMERVILLE. She was married in Buffalo
County January 8, 1880 to Stanford PATTERSON. I think this is a daughter of a Sophia ZABLE
and the step-daughter of John SOMMERVILLE. Trying to trackdoen information on Sophia. I
beleive that Louise is a daughter of hers that was known as Augusta. I also think that
Sophia was married before she married John. There is a difference in documents that stated
her maiden name as either ZABLE or DOUGLAS. I think that ZABLE was her true maiden name
and DOUGLAS was the hame of her first husband. Any information would be greatly
appreciatyed.
