John Effner b NY and one b Channahon IL

xlindasheldon — 2010-03-07 22:56:42Z

I have a large amount of information on the Effner family, esp the oldest two John Effner, born NJ, and the next one John married to Ida born in IL. The older John Effner was also married to Mrs. Minerva Johnson Henry by whom he had a child, Elizabeth Bedford Effner of Channahon, who married first, George Gates Sheldon by whom she had 6 children (this group goes back to the Mayflower). He died and she remarried Henry Konklin, and is buried next to him in Knox, Indiana. Elizabeth Effner is my great grandmother and I have copies of her photo album, her personal correspondence. The younger John Effner was known as Jack, and known as the Asparagus King of Illinois. My grandfather and my Dad worked for him during the depression. I have photographs and memorabilia.
I can see online on the northeastern counties postings 2 marriages for John Effner b NJ, and there is a third, mentioned above I have additional information about his other marriages as well.

According to Grundy Co Genweb site
1877-1878 Directory

George,res same address

Grundy County Death Index 1877-1930
WICKHAM
Lucinda Bk 1 A p.41 (1878-1904)
means the Grundy County Clerk in Morris,IL has a death certificate for her.
Since she is not in 1880 or 1900 census,she died between 1878-1880 most likely.
Her husband died between 1870-1877 based on above info.
Grundy County Clerk has a website.

Might check the Coal City & Morris Public Libraries also-they have websites.

FYI son George, wife Maria J.(Jane)sons Harry and John listyed in 1870 census Morris near Edward and his family. In 1880 census onlyJane(Maria J.)is listed as DIVORCED with sons Harry and John. Harry gets married in Grundy in 1887 and moves to LaSalle County by 1900 census.

I am a decendant of J.W. Hinch also, but I'm just getting in to my genealogy searches. Recently posted a picture of John W. for you and other decendants to add to your trees. John W. and some of his family are buried in a very small cemetery near me in Grundy Co., IL. Hopefully, I'll soon be able to post pics of the gravestones there. Trying to get my taxes done first! I'd be interested in additional info about the Hinch family that you have from generations further back; if you are still interested. Thank you.

Re: Laase, Walter Adolph

un574419 — 2010-02-11 20:34:38Z

Steve,
My information on Bertha is kind of sketchy. I figure her birth date to be about 1859. I found the same death date that you have, and it is posible that is her. Her children seem to have married in Cook County, so it is reasonable to assume she lived the rest of her life there. I know that she was born in Germany but can't say for sure where. Her brother, William, my ancestor was born in Woltersdorf, Pommern, Germany. Bertha's father, John Frederick was born in Konigreich, Preusen, Germany . Her mother, Louise Summers (Sommers?) was born in Stendal, Konigreich, Preusen, Germany. Their passenger list calls it Prussia.
John Frederick Groth was born 7 Sept 1822 and died 24 July 1885 at Reddick, Ill. He is buried at Round Grove, Ce,, Livingston Co, Ill. beside his mother. Louise Groth was born 20 Sept 1824 and died 7 April 1902. There was not a burial space left beside her husband, so she is buried on John/Marie Both's lot in Goodfarm Cem Near Dwight, Livingston Co, Ill. She was living with them at the time. You can see their tombstones on Find A Grave.
I will help you check on Bertha. I work on one family for awhile and then another one. I got my start years ago when Marie Both's daughter and Anna Laase's daughter were still alive, but they didn't know much about Bertha. I guess that was because she lived in Chicago.
Please ask anything else, and I will try to help you. I live in Aransas Pass, Texas. Where do you live?

You provided me with some great information. Do you know any of the following:

1. Bertha Groth Laase's birth date and location. I'm assuming she was born in Germany, but I don't know the city, parish, etc.
2. When Bertha died and where she was buried. I found the following, but I don't know if it's correct:

LAASE BERTHA F/W UNK 0005926 1945-02-25 COOK CHICAGO

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Thank you so much for your reply. You have provided a treasure trove of information. I would love a copy or JPG scan of that photo. I saw that one name (Biermister?) somewhere. I'll check my files. I would be interested in all the Groth family members you can provide. I have found it to be helpful to others to have a broad family tree. The Internet has been a great aid in genealogy research. Thanks again.

John Frederick Groth and Louise Summers Groth had:
1.Carl Groth-came to US but returned & died in Germany
2.August Groth Married Johannah Biske
3.August's twin-died in Germany
4.Marie Married John Both
5.William Groth mrried Friederike Luer MY ANCESTOR
6.Bertha-married William Laase YOUR ANCESTOR
7.Anna Groth Married Frederick Laase
8.Ida Groth Married Henry Burmister (unsure of spelling)
9.Amelia maried William Baumann
10. Unknown child-died in Germany

I believe that the two Laase men were brothers.

Yes, the passenger list for the Braunschweig landing in Baltimore Oct. 13, 1881 is our family. Notice that Fredericks Groth's mother Christine (age75) is also on that list. She is buried in Round Grove Cemetery in Livingston Co, Ill. There must be an error on the tombstone because it lists her death as Nov. 16, 1864 when she did not arrive in the US until 1881. William Groth had come over aone in 1872 and his sisters Marie and Amelia came later that year.
The William Groth family left Illinois and finally ended up in Texas in 1907.
I have a wedding picture of Bertha and William Laase. If you don't have one, I will be happy to have a laser copy made and mail it to you.
I have names and dates of Bertha's nieces and nephews if you want to get that far. Happy to share.

Re: Cemetery and Naturalization records

kzavada — 2010-02-10 23:45:00Z

It is possible that your ancestors who served in the civil war were naturalized because of their service in that war, many immigrants were.
There is a card index file to naturalizations on the desk of the clerk of the circuit courts office in Grundy County Courrthouse in Morris. A clerk could easily check this for you. The actual records are disorganized,might ask the clerks.
See if there is a volunteer on Grundy County genealogy trails or genweb
also try www.raogk.com
random acts of genealogy kindness
maybe the Will Grundy Genealogy society may know of someone who could do an actual search.
Do you have copies of the IL State Archives Civil war muster rolls for your ancestors?
http://www.ilsos.gov/genealogy/
they have different info than the national archives files.
Hope these help,
Kathy

Re: Cemetery and Naturalization records

2ndEngineers — 2010-02-10 21:29:00Z

Kathy,

I had two (and perhaps more) direct ancestors that were living in Morris, Illinois when they were naturalized. The two were brothers and both served Illinois in the Civil War. Can you suggest a way that I could obtain copies of their naturalization records and records of intent? As you have stated that the records are unorganized, I am assuming that this is not a service the courthouse offers.

Thanks for any suggestions.

This is all I have so far for the children of William Laase and Bertha Groth of N. Marshfield Avenue, in Chicago.

Walter August Laase 13 Feb 1884 – 1962
Ewald Laase 1890
Bertha F. Laase 1893
Edna Laase 1896
Leonard C Laase 1900

I'd love any information you have on the Groth's. Do you know if Bertha had a sister that also married a Laase? Do you know when the came to the US. I saw a ship's manifest from I believe 1881 that listed a group of Groth's and Bertha listed that as the year she came.

I also have to track down a relative on my wife's side that is a daughter of Edna Laase.

If you are still looking, check in with Michelle Micetich at the Carbon Hill Museum. I think she knows everything about that area.

Re: PLANETA

Hello Sue,

After a long vacation from my genealogy searches, I just returned to the site for Coal City genealogy and saw your response to one of my queries. We are definitely in the same family. My grandmother, Barbara Planeta Tatro was a sister to your grandmother, Mary. I remember visiting Mary and her husband "Bunny" at their home in Coal City as a child. Ironically I just decided to type in the Planeta name into the computer in Coal City and the obituary for your grandfather came up. I had actually forgot that I had posted the query. I have been concentrating on my father's side of the family for the past couple of years, but I am re-energized for the Planeta hunt. I don't know what information you have, but I would be happy to share. I have the information about the immigration of our great grandfather, the date, the ship, and who came with him. I do remember some of the brothers of our grandmothers. Muxie's real name was actually William. He married a woman by the name of Edna and they both eventually died in Florida. I am not in the right program right now, but I have more information about the rest of the family. I am especially interested in obtaining a photo of out great grandparents Frank and Barbara Planeta. My grandmother had no photos of her family. Please let me hear from you.

I am looking for the birthdate of Edith Gertrude Webb, her parents were Vernon Witt Webb and Minnie Roberta Elam. they were married in 1910 and moved to Grundy Co. Ill. They had 5 children, Manford, Rachael, Edith, Fern, Aubrey.
The paperwork I have says Edith was born in Grundy, I am not sure about the rest of them. The family did move back to TN before the 1930 census.

Also after she left Vernon Redell Cook she moved back to Verona, Ill to live. That would have been in about 1959 she had 2 boys with her as the others were older. I don't know if she remarried again or not. The post in Rootsweb says that she married and Mr. Johnson. But that is all.

Few questions...

Does anyone have or know where I can find info on Evergreen Cemetery and how the cemetery is laid out? I have a location for a grave, but I have no idea where it is located within the cemetry. Any maps avalable?

Naturalization papers (petitions ect...) Were all these pre1930 found in the grundy county court house? If so is there an index availbale to check and see if my family members are located thier (I have some family members that are boarderline Grundy/Will county)
If someone has access to the indexs if the exits could you please let me know if these names show up?

John Jacklich (arrived around 1901)

Kendra:

Have you made any progress regarding Anna Maria (BURKHARDT) BURGER's place of burial? I have a renewed interest in this information.

As to your issue about Barbara BURGER's DOB and mother, I would take the marriage record over the census and what someone remembered for a biographical sketch any day of week.

Yes I did see this on the Grundy Co.site. No I did not realize that it was partial list. I hope that someone will follow up and contact me if it is found.
Thanks Bob S.

If you used the transcription that is up on Grundy County genweb site, it states it is only a partial one done by Mark HAHN in July 2008 ..maybe he missed it or?? Might check with genweb site co-ordinator Deb Haines or ask Deb how to contact Mark Hahn

I was just checking thru the Braceville/Gardner cemetery.I have several family buried here. The new cemetery listings did not have a listing for my GG Grandmother. I have seen her grave several times as it was close to my grandparents grave.
Would this be an overlooked listing. Her death was 1918

Abraham Jewett's father was Robert Jewett who married Mary Jane thompson 3-10-1877 in Yorkshire England. They were divorced in Grundy county Illinois in March 1885. She remarried in 1886 to A McRoberts and moved to many mining towns in the west. Abraham went by his stepfather's name until he came back to Illinois and married Catherine Perino.
