Just as an update on the service these folks offer, I prepaid for 4 hours of research back
in January and have yet to hear anything from them.
In the meantime I contacted the First Lutheran Church in Jamestown and found they have a
volunteer genealogist on staff. She found the two brothers and their children in her
files and went to the library and copied obituaries, which have been a goldmine. It then
turned out that one of the brothers had a granddaughter still living and going to that
very church. I contacted her and she blew the doors wide open on two chapters of our
family about which I had very little information.
