Catherine Johnson or Hosfelt b. 1872

karenellis176 — 18 Nov 2004 12:03:02 GMT

Catherine Hosfelt married my grandfather Amil T. Johnson at Rockford, Ill in 1894. I believe they moved to Minnesota possibly Oshawa. It is reported that Amil and Cathereine had 2 sons. Amil divorced Catherine and remarried Joanna Halbom in Grass Lake Township Minnesota, year of remarriage was 1905. I would appreciate any information regarding Catherine. I believe Catherine lived in the Oshawa area as my grandfather would go visit her whenever he went to the states to buy a new car, and Oshawa was mentioned where he would go see Catherine. It is reported that both boys commited suicide. One son's name may have been Steve.

Hello All,

Kathie was getting too busy and she asked me to give some TLC
to the board and take over the administration.
I was born in Germany a looong time ago and live now in Alabama, USA.

To help all the non- german speaking researchers I started the
Saxonyroots and Saxony Rootsweb Mailinglists and we also joined
the German CompGen group, which is a major provider of
Ancestry research in Germany.

You are all very welcome to visit our Homepage http://www.saxonyroots.com
and you can take a look at our Ships- and Passengerlists databases.

See you there and have a nice weekend,

Wolf Zscheile

Fred Voight

I have signed in to this board -following the directions - typed in a surname VOIGHT, and this message appeared at the heading of the page: "You are not an Administrator on this board."
How does that affect my search for the query I posted 10 Aug. 2004 for FRED VOIGHT's Death Certificate which I obtained from the MN. Historical Society?
I used the subject line: "email address/Kanabec County Genealogical Society".
What did I do wrong? Today's search for VOIGHT produced no results. HELP! Thank you.
