There  were no more Formazins in Labischin parish up to 1862 when parish records end.

Later, in the civil registry of Rynarschewo, I found no birth, marriage nor death records up to 1881.So, they moved out.

Louise Bonau: First Wife of Friedrich Formazin

Today I am writing about the marriage of Friedrich Formazin [Fermazin] and Louise Bonau.  Fredrich married Louise Boanau in Ruhden, Posen, Prussia. He was single and the marriage papers stated his father was deceased.

In researching our family history in Posen, Prussia, [present day Poland] we found Friedrich Formazin was the son of Daniel Formaezyn born about 1785 and Mariana Soblinska. 
FHL # 245334, p.118 marriage 1806

We pick Friedrich Vormazin up in Labischin, Kreis Schubin in 1840 as a 21 year old lad getting married to Louise Bonau. Friedrich Vormazin Formazin married Louise Bonau (possibly Huguenaut name) in Labischin on Dec.6,1840.Per his marriage records he was single, age 21, and resided in Ruhden, his father was deceased at time of marriage, while Louise is also listed as single 24 years and 5 months. Their children were:

Entry # 120/1852  pages 6,7

Henriette Formazin daughter of Friedrich and Louise Bonau died at the age of 8 years and 11 months on Sep. 27,1852 in Rynarzewo

Entry #  223/1852 pages: 6,7

I know quite a bit about August Fermazin so will write a post about him and his family. One member of his family came to Chicago to see her Grandpa Friedrich Fermazin and stayed on to get married in Michigan. Then of course we lose her in the records. [Friedrich Fermazin came to the USA in 1879 with his third wife, Caroline Hartwig. I am getting ahead of myself. 


I am trying to do more research on Louise Bonau. I think the Bonau name is Huguenaut.  Looking for birth and family records for Louise. I am hoping by finding more out about the Bonau's I might find where the Fermazin's were living before Posen. [Possibly The Netherlands or Alsace Lorraine]


Louise Bonau is not my direct line.  After her death Friedrich married twice more. I am descended from the second family: Friedrich Formazin and Justine Brauer.

On the Boardwalk

On the Boardwalk

Looks like summer fun is here.

Swim suit weather is upon us. I have been looking through my collection of old photos for swim suits. Isn't it funny that I don't have any pictures of myself in a swim suit growing up.  Hmmmnn. We spent many a summer on Lake Geneva swimming.  We also used to go to my Great-Uncle and Aunt's:  Carl and Margaret Fermazin's cabin in southern Wisconsin and swim at the lake. We played with inner tubes, snorkled, built sand castles, fished, dived,  etc. 

I did find some pictures of family through out the years that I'd like to share with you.

  I found this picture of my Grandma Fermazin and Aunt Lola and Aunt Margaret having fun along the Fox River in Aurora, Illinois. What a shocker. I could never imagine Grandma in a bathing suit.  I always knew Grandma in a flowered dress with an apron making Apple pies and Strawberry pies in the kitchen and baking cookies at Christmas time.

Here they are!  Margaret Steil Fermazin sister-in-law to Mary Linden Fermazin my grandma.  Aunt Lola, my dad's sister looks to be about 13 years old here so this must be a picture from about 1927. The picture of my Grandma Mary, Aunt Margaret, and Aunt Lola looks like it was taken at the same place as the vintage post card below.

However, I could never picture Grandma as a young woman in a bathing suit. What a treasure to find this picture.

Fox River

Aurora, Illinois

The Fox River runs north and south in Illinois.  Dad spent many a summer fishing along the banks At one time he even owned an island in the Fox River.  When we were kids growing up he took us every night to fish with him while mom worked.

I dabble in scrapbooking: Digital; Hybrid; Classic.
I want to share two pages I made using my Grandma's Swim pictures.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I did making them.

                                      I just know they were having a great time!

Grace Worthing age 12; Charlie Worthing age 46, Ed Castor, Rose Castor, Maxine Worthing 

Here is a picture of my mom, Grace Worthing and her dad Charlie Worthing visiting from Truro, Iowa in Sandusky, Ohio with his niece and nephew Ed and Rose Castor (parents of Annie Castor Glenn) and Maxine Worthing daugher of Walter Worthing who was son of Charlie Worthing. What a CATCH! Great day fishing.  Maxine Worthing grew up in New Concord, Ohio to become a registered nurse. She was raised by Eppa and Guy Mossholder of New Concord, Ohio.

Aren't they happy girls.  Oh those are the good ole days.

Summer fun at 251 Hillside Avenue, Aurora, Illinois. Mary Fermazin and her best friend Judy Mindar enjoying "getting a tan".  I remember this year. My sister Mary got a really bad 3rd degree sunburn from too much sun.

Now we move on to 2010 with bikinis and speedos. Here is a picture of my grandson, Peter on the high school swim team and he even plays water polo in the Fall. He is really a handsome young man.  I bet the girls say, "What a hunk!". Pete, I am so proud of you. Mom and dad have done a great job.  You are indeed my pride and joy.
