Corrections

Hello. I am Nancy (Thrall) Zupan. Sister of John Franklin Thrall. I have some corrections on the US relatives. How would I send them to you? It will be a week or so before I sort them out with the corrections.

I was very excited when I found your site.

Thank You, Nancy

Hello. I have been trying to find anything on Cap't Preston Thrall.

He was born in Brockville, Canada in the spring of 1844, of American parents. As a young boy, the family moved to Ogdensburg, New York, USA. In 1853 the family moved to Pickett Station, (now just Pickett, ) Wisconsin, USA. Later, they moved to Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Preston became a Captain on the tugboat the, "Grant". Later, he built several steamboats and tugboats in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He died in 1933 aged 90. I can't to find his parents names or any information on them or him.

Can anyone help?
Nancy (Thrall) Zupan
