LANDAUER:
I am looking for information on Ezekiel/Harry LANDAUER and would like to get in touch with his descendents. He is one of the two sons of Carl Theordore LANDAUER, and was born around 1895 possibly in Canton, Fulton Co., IL or Peoria, Peoria Co., IL. His given name was Ezekiel, but he was known to members of my husband's family as "Great Uncle Harry". My husband is the grandson of Robert Perry LANDAUER, who was Ezekiel's brother. Robert Perry started living with the Allen Kelso GREEN family as a young boy after the death of his mother, Henrietta LANDAUER in 1907. As of the 1910 Peoria City Federal census, I find Ezekiel (15) and Carl Theodore (45) living together, but Robert Perry, who would have been 11 years old then, is not there. Carl Theodore's obituary says that Ezekiel was living in Trenton, Mercer Co., NJ as of 5 Aug 1941. My sister-in-law, Barbara, says she remembers meeting a woman named "Rose" around 1958, who was a daughter of Ezekiel, and she was from New Jersey. I would love to make contact with any of the relatives on this side of the family.

NELSON, McCLAIN, GOMINGER, McCLURE, HARTMAN, PIERSON, PEARSON, CHALE, MONK, HAMFORD:
I am trying to make a connection between my family and the family of Aaron and Nancy PIERSON or PEARSON, of Groveville and later Trenton NJ. I have a 5X7 studio portrait of a WWII soldier labeled Lester PIERSON, that came from my grandmother's house. My one surviving uncle, himself a WWII veteran, remembers going with his mother to visit a large family named PIERSON, but he doesn't know of a blood connection. My NELSON grandparents were 1st cousins (which my brother always says EXPLAINS a lot....) Anyway, their fathers James and Joseph NELSON were brothers, raised in Groveville in the 1850's, both fought in a NJ regiment in the Civil War. 1870 Groveville census. Aaron PEARSON age 39, a ships' caulker. wife Nancy age 27. Next door is my g grandfather James NELSON with his wife Agnes GOMINGER. 1880 Bordentown, Burlington Co. 2nd Ward. Aaron PEARSIN age 51, ships' caulker. Wife Nancy, sons Charles, Joseph, Richard, Edward. No near neighbors are familiar, but Bordentown is only 1 square mile. By 1880, James NELSON & family are here also, in the 3rd Ward. 1885, NJ state census, Chambersburg, Mercer Co: my other great grandparents, Joseph NELSON & Mary McCLAIN. 2 doors away are Aaron PEIRSON, Nancy, and sons Joseph, Richard, Edward, Alfred & Lester. 1886 Trenton city directory. Aaron PEARSON, ships' caulker, is at 420 Jefferson St in Chambersburg. In 1887 he is at 642 N. Willow St, Trenton. I found the Trenton TImes obituary of the Lester PIERSON of my WWII photo, and then used that & the SSDI to find obits. of some of his brothers & sisters. His brothers were (surprise!) Edward & Alfred. Sisters were Anna Pierson CHALE, who died in Hamilton twp age 96 in 1992, and Elizabeth MONK, of Lawrence Twp, who died in 1991. According to the obit for Anna Chale, these were the children of Richard PIERSON and Ella HAMFORD. I'm wondering if Nancy, the wife of Aaron Pierson, might have been born a NELSON, HARTMAN, GOMINGER or McCLAIN. Any info about this family will be appreciated. Any relative who wants a copy of Lester's photo may have one.

ZOLTANSKI, SLABICKA:
I formerly resided in Trenton, New Jersey, and my dad was Naturalized in the Mercer County Court, and it occured prior to the time that the Naturalizations occured in the Federal District Court. My dad arrived here I believe after 1910, and he married my mother, Catherine (aka Katarzyna etc.), and also, the Surname of a lady in Polish is often written with an "a" at the end, instead of an "i". Thus, her surname may be "ZOLTANSKA". I lived at 1804 Chestnut Ave., until I joined the U.S. Navy in 1944. What information is available about my parents, i.e. Naturalization, dates of entry into the U.S., they arrived thru Ellis Island. Also, I was in Poland recently and a family there asked if I could look up something about their relatives who also arrived about the same time as my parents, and her Surname was SLABICKA (I) and the given name was Zofia, and the last address they had was on Coates St., which is now a part of an expressway. The parents of this lady were Slabicki Wojciech and Slabicka Hafia. Also, is there someone there who could look up these public records for me for compensation? Please advise me. Respectfully yours.
