Dear Cousins and Such -
I am pleased to announce that several updates have been made to my genealogy web pages:
Thanks to Nancy and Bill Ziemer, Jennifer McInnis, and the late Tom Burke for their
messages from the North Side Ziemer Family of Willie Ziemer. Look for a summary in
"The Ziemers in Chicago" at
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ziemer/ZIEMER/ziemer.htm
A number of new photographs have been provided by Nancy and Jennifer, too. Check out the
"Ziemer Photo Album" at
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ziemer/ZIEMER/ziemeralbum.html
Thanks also to Keith Vanselow, lately of Burbank,IL, for the photos taken of the guests
at a 1916 birthday party for his great-grandfather August Post. Among them are Frank C.
Ziemer and Bertha, and Herman Ziemer with his wife Minnie Post Ziemer. Minnie's
sister married a Vanselow and the families remained close. In fact, I met Keith when he
represented his family at the wake of Joe Norway a few months ago. (Ruth Olson Norway is
the grandchild of Herman and Minna through their daughter Ella.) The photos were taken at
the H. Ziemers' lot at 7735 s. May St.
Condolences to cousin Darlene Ziemer Prendergast and her family on the loss of her husband
Richard V. Prendergast 2/14/04.
