My HOLMAN ancestors immigrated from Cornwall, England to Ishpeming, MI
about April-August of 1891 and lived there until they moved to Montana in
1898. The parents were William and Ellen(nee CARPENTER) HOLMAN. Their
children were Emily, Elizabeth, William, Pitho, Barcy, Wilfred, Meapris.
The most perplexing problem I've had is this: Did William the father come
to the U.S or stay in England or die on the boat or what? ANYTHING will
be a tremendous help!!! Thanks!

JOHN LA BLANC, searching for any information on him! He was my
grandfather.
I know he had a gravel pit operation on Star Route, just outside of
Marquette, MI.
He also was a fisherman for many years. He was Catholic.
He passed away about 1975. His first wife was Nellie Porter, they
divorced. His second
wife was Gertie ?. She may still be in the Marquette area as I believe
she taught
nursing at the University there.
My mother is his only daughter, Jacquiline LaBlanc.
I have NO clue as to his family history. I thought he was born in Gould
City, Mackinaw Co., Michigan.
Any information, greatly appreciated.

Looking for any information on the FRANCIS NICHOLS family. Francis
emigrated to Michigan sometime before 1900 from Penzance, England.
He had a family in Ishpeming: Frank, Gordon, Baden, Gladys, Alice,

his children in Michigan. He had a common law wife in British
Columbia, Canada. They had four children: Alec, Annie, William
and Albert.
We are having great difficulty finding any information on Francis.
He was born in 1861 (we think in Wales). We have also heard
that he was a police officer in Michigan, as was his son
Frank.
Looking forward to hearing from anyone with pertinent information.

Looking for information on LaBlanc White from Marquette:
Here is what I know...to date:
I am trying to find information on my grandfather, John LaBlanc. He has
passed away, and I know very little about him.
John LaBlanc was either 1/2 or 1/4 Michigan Chippewa Indian from his
mothers side. His father (unknown name - was French)
Looking for birth certificate, death certificate, any info on him or his
family.
I thought he was the same John LaBlanc, who was born in Gould City,
Mackinaw Co., Michigan, but now I think he was a cousin of this John
LaBlanc. I had thought he was born April 9, 1897..now not sure.
I was in contact with a brother of the John LaBlanc from Gould City,
Mackinaw Co., Michigan, and he said MY JOHN LABLANC wasn't his brother,
but he remebered him- thought he was a cousin or 2nd cousin. This man I
contacted said he send info and never did. His name is Louie LaBlanc from
Cheboygan, MI.
John LaBlanc lived at 550 Star Route in a log cabin, in Marquette and
died about 1975, was Catholic...but not practicing, I don't think. I
believe he should be buried up in Marquette.
He was married once to a Nellie Brown/Dodge, divorced about 1930-35. had
one daughter - Jacqueline Hope LaBlanc (my mother- also now dead)
She, Jacqueline Hope LaBlanc (my mother) lived with her father (John
LaBlanc) off and on as a child. She went to elementry school there at one
time.
My mother (Jacqueline Hope LaBlanc) divorced my father, Norman Arthur
Howell in 1972 in California, and remarried a Kenneth Montagna from
Marquette abt. 1974-5, then divorced him abt 1982. I know Ken Montagna is
also dead now...
John LaBlanc was sometimes known as Jack. I believe LaBlanc could have
earlier been spelled LeBlanc and I know it does mean White.
John LaBlanc was a fisherman and had his own boat. He also had a gravel
business on his land at 550 Star Rt. in Marquette.
John LaBlanc remarried about 1955, to a woman named Gertie. I do not know
her maiden name. She studied nursing at the university, and later taught
it I believe. I have tried and can't find her in phone book.
She was quite a bit younger than my grandfather, so she may still be
alive. I would guess her to be about 75.
I live in Key West, FL so a trip up north is not really possible at this
time.
