I am looking for info on an old aunt called Johanna Hendricka BERGHEGER (nick name Anna) who married Doctor Emil Franz WILLEMS from Rummen Belgium, in June 1891 in Little Chute.

Apparently they were accompanied by a niece called Anna Bergheger as well, who later married Henry BROUWERS in Kimberley. When and where did he and his wife die, where were they buried. either in Green Bay or Bay settlement. Did his wife Bergheger perhaps return to Europe .....? Any info would help

I am looking for any information regarding Lewis James WILLIAMS born 8/27/1887 in Green Bay WI. I believe his father was John Williams. Here is Lewis's obituary from Toledo Ohio. Lew Williams, former Toledo newspaperman, poet and author of several books on juvenile work died today at home, Suder Ave. and Benore Rd., after a long illness he was 72. Known as the Buckeye Poet, Mr. Williams wrote several volumes of verse, including "Fifty Years Ago, Homespun,Nuggets and Down the road." For years, his verse appeared in the old Toledo News-Bee. His text book, "Junior Journalism," was published by the International Boys Club Press Association of which he was president, and for years was used in Journalism classes of Boys Clubs in the United States and Canada. Mr. Williams was born in Green Bay, Wis., and reared in New Your City, but spent most of his life in Toledo. He spent 10 years in social service work as superintendent of the Boys Detention Home in New York and of the Allen County Vocational School for Boys in Fort Wayne, Ind., and as director of the Toledo Newsboys Association. He was a member of the advisory board of the Lucas County Juvenile Court under the late Judge O'Brien O'Donnell. He spent a number of years Toledo in newspaper writing, as a feature writer for the News Bee business editor ofthe Toledo Times managing editor of the West Toledo Standard and editor of small fraternal and other newspapers. A lecturer as well as a writer, he was engaged in speaking and entertainment programs before schools, churches, lodges andclubs for more than 40 years. During one engagement in Washington D.C., he and Mrs. Williams were guests of President Harding in the White House. He also spent nine years on the dramatic stage and a number of years in radio work. For yearshe was Santa Claus in Toledo Downtown department stores and his radio SantaClaus was a Christmas feature for more than a decade.

FAFEREKS, FONFEREK posted by Bill Fonferek on Wednesday, February 20, 2002

We have traced the family name back to Poland. The name was spelled in Polish Fa~ferek. (The a had a tail on the end). The a~ is pronounced "on". When they came to the US it was changed to the phonetic version. In Germany, that is the spelling that is used. I have found FONFEREK /FAFEREKS in Poland, Germany, France, Canada and the Netherlands. You can view the family history back to 1755 in the town of Pianowka, Poznan, Poland. My website is located at http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/f/o/n/William-J-Fonferek/index.html. The family farm in DePere has been purchased by Brown County and is now called Fonferek Glen Recreation Area.
