Hi!
My g grandmother is Dorothy (Nelson) Riemel 1st h. Behnke 2nd h.She is the daughter of Elizabeth (Kallis) Nelson 1864-1909.Elizabeth is the daughter of Frank and Elizabeth (Selinger) Kallis.Dorothy grew up in Wilmington, Ill.She spent a lot of time w/ her aunt Emma,
who is the sister of Elizabeth.I've been told the family had something to do w/ gypsies.Many Victorian pics are from Wilmington, Braidwood, joliet, and Coal City, Ill. and S. Dakota, Minnesota, Oregon.I am planning to go to Wilmington this Spring or Summer to find Franks grave.I believe he may be burried in Little Bohemian CemeteryDorothy stayed in touch w/ her cousin Pheobe Powell until maybe the 60s or the 70s Ihave a funeral card for Mary Powell 1862-1905. Is that your great grandma? I dont have much info beyond Frank and Elizabeth (Selinger), but I am trying to research that side of my family, as I am the 6th gen in an all female line to the Elizabeth (Selinger).ANY INFO on that side would be GREAT, siblings, children, parents etc.PLEASE email at [email protected]
