HI Bob-
I looked at the death notice for Louisa, it seems Caroline's last name was either Rezmer or Bezmer, I'm leaning more towards Bezmer at this point. I'm guessing Raymond was at Girard in 1910 because she had remarried and her new husband didn't want kids? or she hadn't remarried yet? I'd try to find her on the census in 1910 and see what's up. :)

From talking to the daughter of Raymond she was remarried. Louisa must have taken the step fathers name.

I also found a death notice for a Louisa Merk 4-28-1922, (age 32) who was the daughter of Caroline Kezmer and the late Henry Stohner. She was married to Frederick G. Merk. Her address was 204 Elm St, Camden, NJ. She was buried at New Camden Cemetery, NJ So, I'm guessing Caroline remarried?

I'm looking for some help with my Stohner name. I have them in Philly on the 1900 census. Fathers name is Henry born July 1850. Wifes name is Caroline (don't know her maiden name) born March 1867.3 children....Josephine born Sept. 1883,Louisa Dec. 1889 and Raymond (he's in my line) April 1897. I am looking to find out why Raymond ended up in the Girard College in Philly on the 1910 census. I do know the Girard College was for boys who was an orphan. But his mother was still alive at that time.It might be possible she couldn't take care of him.
His father Henry was a fireman so he may have died in the line of duty....don't know.
If anyone has any ideas or can help let me know.

Caro wrote "Nothing there either Lynette .. Thanks for idea, though! I'd love to contact the authors but I'm not sure how to do that either"

If you know the publisher you can either write to them directly to see if they have any unsold copies in storage, or have them forward your comments on to the authors (if they are still alive).

Publishers should have current contact information for their authors, or at least a place to start.

Thomas
Thank you so much!! I'll check that out!!

Keith
Thanks again! I did check that out and printed stuff from it. I just wanted to see if this book - or whatever it is - had any more information in it.

Thanks again you two! I really appreciate it! I'll be checking everything out now that my internet is working again

Caro, I have a site that you and others may find interesting. It is
http://www.oaister.org. It will find digitized copies of books, genealogies
as long as they are no longer copyrighted. A good many of these can be
copied. It takes a little used to doing but well worth it.
From the initial web page you can go to the search function and that will
lead you to a search screen where you can input your search. I did
"Heilman family" and it gave me the same book under 2 finds. Within each
find there is a URL that you can click on. There is an index to the left and the
last thing you see is "Printing Version", if you click on this you should be
able to download it. Good luck!
