How do I locate the DUVAL family who resided in Nasonville, RI during the year 1913, this is confirmed because my Father Ernest W. Duval was born in Nasonville, RI on May 16,1913, Father Alfred Ernest Duval, Mother Marie Delia ALLARD. One of their children was my father, (Adrien Walter)>Ernest Walter DUVAL, born in Nasonville, RI, on 16/5/1913. Alfred Ernest DUVAL is buried in St. Charles Cemetary, Blackstone, MA. Alfred had siblings, do not know their names. I cannot verify any other information concerning the Alfred Ernest DUVAL line. Are you able to help point me in the right direction? Also, I have a name DUVAL, Medora, can you help me out? Trying to get information, she was a opera singer, I believe she had roots in the Providence County area. If anyone has information on Medora it would help also. Is there any information on Medora you might supply me with? If anyone can help I'll be very grateful. Especially if it is a long lost cousin. Thank You rchasse@cybercom.net

John SHAW and wife Hannah came to the state's from England in ca 1828. I only know one son's name and that was Samuel, and he was about 14. They settled in Providence,Rhode Island. There were other children but I do not have the name's. Samuel SHAW moved to Illinois in about 1838-9. They must have lived close to the James HARRINGTON family who also moved to Illinois. Samuel married Ann Eliza Harrington in 1841 in Illinois. I would like to find the rest of the SHAW children's name's and where they lived. Can any one help me please. olla@eot.com

My great grandparents and their children, including my grandfather were reported to have resided in Providence for just over a year after their arrival in the U.S. This would have been from March 1869 and September 1869 (two separate sailings) until about August or September 1870, when they moved to Grant County, Wisconsin. Here are the names: Heinrich Ferdinand NOBIS (arrived in March 1869 Edith (Ida) Pauline KRAUSSE NOBIS (arrived Sept 1869) Max Ludwig NOBIS (arrived March 1869) Henry (Heinrich) Anton NOBIS (arrived Sept 1869) Gustave C. NOBIS (arrived Sept 1869) Martha Q. NOBIS (arrived Sept 1869) Infant NOBIS (age 3 mo) (arrived Sept 1869) The source of my information on the short residency in Providence was a short newspaper article that was publish some time after they arrived in Wisconsin. Do you know of any sources in RI that I might search to document that my great grandparents and their children resided in Rhode Island. For example, is there a census index for the 1870 census that might list the NOBIS family? Also I believe the 3 month old infant Nobis, may have died in Providence, as he/she does not show up on any records in Wisconsin. Are there cemetery or death Indexes that I might search?
