Hoping to make a connection with the Melvile John Close family b 1868.
He married Lydia Anna Oprecht abt 1894 (b 2 AUG 1874 d 11 JUL 1963).
They had several children:
Earl Close 18996 - 1965,
Vera Close 1898 - ,
Floyd/Frank Close 1899 - ,
Wilford Close 1908 - ,
Ruth A Close 1909 - 1997, [may have married a Mr Grich b1908]
Robert Theodore Close 1911 - 2000,
John M Close 1913 - ,
Donna Marie Close 1915 - 1985 [may have married a Mr Schenck b 1912] &
Kenneth Merril Close 1919 - 1972 Santa Clara CA.
In 1920, Lidia's mother Anna Oprecht (age 67) lived with them on Rockford Road in Robbinsdale, MN according to the 1920 Federal Census. I am searching for more information on the Oprecht/Babler side of the family as I am a descendant of Lidia (Oprecht) Close's younger sister Dora (Oprecht) Harris.
I am hoping this family has any information on the Oprecht family and it would be wonderful to make a connection to someone of this family as I currently have no connection other than my father who's mother Anna (niece of Lidia) died when he was just 7 years old.

Hi Shelagh
My family (Close) also come from Ham Street, Baltonsborough but I am unable to
trace my great great grandads brothers or sisters - I know that there must have
been some as there seem to be a few Close families all living in and around
Baltonsborough, Lottisham, West Pennard etc, all at the same time
It would be great if we can link our Close connections!
BTW I think I may have contacted you a while back but ive changed my email so
had to re-register
