Question: Elaine Brennan asked:
Hi, I have some information on Orrin P. and Mary E. Berry. I will forward that info to you in a day or two. I am still checking on some things. In the meantime I have another question. One of Orrin and Mary's children, Phineas W. b. 1891 is said to have some kind of mental disease. I'm not sure if it was insanity or something else. Do you have any idea where I might look for information on this?
Answer: Elaine:
We have no info on the mental health of PhineasW. His death record might have something, but we do not know when he d. He m. 1913 Oct 1 Clara Maude (Burton). She had a daughter Nellie b. ca 1909 from her previous m. to Sidney Stockman. We do not know if they divorced, but she m. 3rd 1926 Mar 3 Lewis Brooks. If they divorced, the divorce record might give the reason for the divorce. We don't have a d. record prior to 1926. He was in Kennebunkport in 1920.
Sorry we couldn't help,

I am trying to find out who James Adolph Merrill,Sr. born 1893 decends from. Any info you may have or know about and can share I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you
Answer: Jennifer:
The only James Adolph we have in our file is James Adolph (9), b. 1892 June 12 in St. Paul MN and d. 1937 July 15 in Portland OR. We think this is probably the one ypou refer to, His lineage is James E (8), Ira (7), Eli (6), Ichabod (5), Noah (4), Isaac (3), John (2), immigrant Nathaniel (1). More details are available.
We are Howard and Jean Merrill. For twenty five years we have been trying to database the Merrill/Merrell surname nationwide from the original immigrants right down to the present day for all the immigrant lines. So far we have info on over 60,000 Merrill males, plus their wives and daughters in our database, but we estimate that there are well over 100,000 so we have a long way to go, and we need and appreciate all the help we can get, particularly with the later generations. We use this database strictly to try and help folks trace their Merrill roots. Be assured that no info on living individuals will become internet accessible. We would be very interested in the descendants of James Adolph down to the present day.
We will be glad to try to help with any Merrill/Merrell genealogical problems you may have, or fill in any blanks in your lineage. While our database is not internet searchable, we will be glad to search it for anybody and share what we find at no cost. All that we ask is that folks share their Merrill data with us, so we can expand the database, and do a better job of helping solve Merrill lineage problems.
