Missing Kaski records #5: Elroy Merrill Stanley Kaski

Howdy In-laws and Out-laws! This post is for you, Jenn, Robb, Nathan & Christina, Stephanie & Nate, Kayla & Kelly, Chuck & Inga and Chuck & Colby, Janice, and Marybeth!

This is the last of a series of posts on the data I'm missing to build a complete descendant tree for my paternal great-grandparents, Mariah Alvina Ecklund and Peter August Kaski. This post focuses on Elroy Kaski, his kids, grandkids, great-grandkids and great-great-grandkids. Elroy is my grandfather on my father's side; so this is filling in all the blanks I have related to my siblings, their spouses, and kids, as well as my spouses and their siblings and spouses and kids.


The ASK

I have some holes for some people in this branch; maybe you hold the key that fits the door to that information. Know the answer to any question below? 
  1. Post a Comment at the bottom of this page. Note: All comments require my approval before becoming visible to others; if a comment contains confidential data about a living person, I will keep the comment private, and update this post to reflect I've received the needed information.
  2. Contact Me using the Contact Me form in the green section on the far right of this page.
  3. Connect with me on Facebook and message me through Facebook.
All three contact methods work well for me; use whatever approach is easiest for you. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Peter August Kaski's journey to America

At the age of 26, Peter August Kaski brought our Kaski branch to the United States. He started the ship portion of his journey with a 40 hour trip on the SS Rollo from Gothenburg, Sweden to Hull, England.  Most emigrants would then take the Paragon Railway train between Hull and Liverpool. From Liverpool, Peter August Kaski then sailed for 10 days on the S.S. Aurania to New York, disembarking on April 24, 1903.  On the ship manifest below, Peter A. Kaski is listed on line 10. He declared having $12 in his pocket and was headed to Bryant, South Dakota. Originally, it was written that he was headed to meet his brother, J. Kaski, but that was then crossed out and replaced with the name Oskar Peterson of Deadwood, South Dakota. There is evidence that his brother, Jakob Krister Kaski was in Bryant by 1911, and is likely the brother referenced in this record. How he made his journey from New York to Bryant has, thus far, been lost to time, but we know he would end up in Bryant, Sout...

The 100 Club

There are some good genes out there, letting some of our ancestors achieve the epic age of 100. Cheers to these centenarians! Maternal line 105 years : L illian (Ahrendt) Galbreath lived to the age of 105. Lillian is a double first cousin 3 times removed who died in June 2004. A "double cousin" means she shares more than one set of grandparents; in her case, Lillian's grandparents were my 3x-great grandparents from both my Ahrendt & Weinreben and my Stroh & Mohr family lines. My software program doesn't display the above visual for both sets of grandparents when there is a double cousin, so below, I'm showing how Lillian's mother, Dorothea Stroh, is related to me. 101 years :   Elizabeth (Guhl) Ahrendt  joined our tree through her marriage to Albert B. Ahrendt, a first cousin three times removed.  100 years & 14 days : Anna Ida (Boldt) Albers  made the centenarian cut-off by 2 weeks. Those Ahrendts sure have some serious longevity.  Anna's an...

Unknown B&W album - likely Colorado

I had the pleasure of digitally archiving the records and pictures held by my Uncle Don Untiedt. The pictures included below were all together in a single album. However, I have no additional notes on who or where these pictures were taken.  Do you have any answers about the subject or location? In one picture there is a sign for "Dirty Woman Creek". When I Google that, there is such a place located in Colorado. However, if there were other "Dirty Women" creeks, it's reasonable that over time they have been changed to something more P.C. However, given the potential Colorado connection, I'm tagging these as part of the Untiedt line for now. [Update: since originally posting this, I was able to read the top of one building which is excerpted below. It reads "Pikes Peak Motor Co". Googling that name there is such a place located in Penrose, Colorado.] Do you recognize any of the buildings? Any of the children? Maybe the horses? Is this Penrose, Color...
