Dear John,
Thank you so much for the treasure trove! I've printed out the 114 pages and have read through about half. At least two of my concerns have already been addressed and my doubts were valid!
A couple of notes regarding my first and second generations: Daddy (Jay Nichlolas) died on Sept. 12, 1999, and is buried in the Butterfield Cem.: Mum (Goldie Marie Crowder) died July 21, 2003, and was cremated. "Rocky" Russell Jay Carpenter was Daddy's first grandson, my sister Barbara Lee's only child, and the light of all our lives!. Her ashes are buried near him as is my sister Sharon Louise. I am actually the seventh born of Jay and Goldie...first was a son named Arnold who died at, I believe, about 16 months of age, and  boy/girl twins born in 1947, between my brother and me. I believe both are buried in the Moddersville Cem. with Grandfather Glen. I'm working with my sister and aunt to put tighter dates on things so the next generations will have some blocks to build on!
Thanks again and in advance for the questions I'm sure I'll have once I've read through the data!
Tami

Sharon was born on 26 Dec 1944 in Michigan and died on 26 May 1990 in Grand Rapids, Kent, MI.

Ivan Wayne Austin was the son of Jim Austin and Ann Doornbos.  He was born on 16 May 1939 in Falmouth, Missaukee, MI and died on 29 Dec 2013 in Kent, Michigan.

I don’t know when Sharon and Ivan divorced but Mr Austin’s obituary indicates that he married his second wife in 1974. The obit lists all his children but it’s unclear if any of them are also Sharon’s.

Before she passed away, she married a man with the last name of Schafer.
