SCHILLER, SCHÜLLER posted by LaVonne Aldag on Friday, May 4, 2001: Looking for a marriage for Joseph Engelbert Schiller (Schüller) & Sarah Anna ca: Jan-Mar. 1884.

EASTMAN posted by Karen Halvorson on Wednesday, May 9, 2001: Am looking for descendants or relatives of a John Russell Eastman and Jeanette M. Eastman. I recently inherited an elderly aunt's pictures and papers. Among the pictures were two Eastmans. My eldest aunt was married to a Kenneth Eastman. The back of the man's picture says -- Dr. John Russell Eastman, Born 8/11/67, Ohio, Died 2/28/28, Evanston, Illinois. In a different ink, above the name was the number (or date) 1914. The picture of the woman shows a lovely young woman. The picture was taken by Stevens Art Studio, McVicker's Theatre Bldg., Chicago. The hand written name on the back is Jeanette M. Eastman. The clothing worn would indicate a late 1800 or very early 1900 picture. I have no blood ties to these people and would like their descendants to have these pictures (which are in excellent condition).

COWAN, MCLAIN, MCLANE, POLLOCK posted by Penny Pollock on Wednesday, May 16, 2001: I am trying to trace my husband's ggrandparents, John Pollock and unk wife, who were both born in PA. They moved to OH at some point because they had several children in OH (William b 1830, Rachel b 1835, Sarah b 1841, Wilson b 1831 and Samuel b 1827). I believe there may have been a son John as John Pollock is listed as Sr when he married a 2nd time in 1844 in IA to Isabell McLain. John and Isabell had children in IA and MO. The children I've listed went with the family to IA but I'm not sure about John Jr. I believe he may have died prior to 1852 as my relative John Cowan Pollock was born in 1852 in MO and I don't think they would have 2 sons named John [but who knows!]. I have looked at census records for John Pollocks in 1820 to 1840 but can't seem to make a connection. Does any have any clues? Thanks.

JEWETT posted by Karl Beckstrand on Saturday, May 19, 2001: I'm seeking documentation on my gggrandfather, Samuel Jewett, (about 1820-1846). He was purportedly "lost at sea." He was married in Iowa and had a family in Ohio. I have a marriage record, but nothing that mentions Samuel's parents. I'm trying to find any record that would link him to a Samuel Walker Jewett from NH, who was the same age and lost at sea about April 1846. The Jewett family in New England doesn't believe their Samuel had any progeny. I am hoping to find records of shipping companies of that era that worked the Great Lakes /Mississippi and that shipped to the east. I am also hoping to find a death notice that mentions any of Samuel's family. Sincerely, Karl Beckstrand 648 W. Wasatch St. Midvale, UT 84047 (800) 311-5618 Karlb@softcom.net

Also, any help on tracing this family would be very useful.

BUCK posted by Mardene Byce- Dalton on Sunday, May 20, 2001: I am searching for any information I can find about the Asa R. and Martha Weed BUCK family. I know they came to Ohio from Ohio sometime before 1857 as they had a child, Chauncy Orlando Buck born there 12-10-1857. They also had a son Winiford born there in 1859. I do not know if other children were born there or not. I know they had an older sister, Mary E. born in New York in 1847. I am trying to find any information possible on the wife, Martha. Her last name may be spelled differently, but that is how it appears on a marriage certificate of the son, Chauncy, in 1892. She was already deceased at that time. Thank you,
