For most of her life Lorraine was a homemaker. She enjoyed shopping, spending time with her family, and cooking for family and friends. You never left Lorraine's house hungry; her kitchen was always open no matter what time you stopped by. In her younger years she enjoyed gardening and was happy to share her harvest with family and neighbors. Lorraine also had a love of growing beautiful colorful flowers in her garden every spring and amazingly those flowers still remain.

Hello, I am looking for information about Nicholas Fischer and his wife Magdalena Scheller. He lived in Manhatten, NY and had 5 sons - Nicholas, Anton, Leo, Charles and Raymond. He was my 2nd great grandfather. I have very little information about him.
I am looking for a girl I knew in the 1960's. Her name was Jane Fischer and she lived in Broomfield, CO. She spent summers in Whitefish, MT with her grandmother, Mrs. Neville. We had so much fun together those summers and I've always wondered what happened to her and would like to find her. If you know how I can contact her, email me at [contact link]. Faith Meyers Adams
