I am the grand-daughter of Harry Robison who we believe was born in Clay Center. He had two sisters that we know of and we think his father was a country Doctor. He migrated to California possibly in 1920 or so. We would love to re-connect with other family members. Thank-you.

COMER, LEVICK posted by Lucy Mazer on Friday, June 25, 1999

I am looking for information on William Carl Levick b. in England who married Mercy Comer, b. in Ontario, Canada. They had a daughter named L'Marie Alberta Levick who was born in Fairfield, Clay, NE, Feb. 25, 1890. No birth certificate has been found for her. The Levicks may not have been in the area for very long because a son, Harold VanBuren Levick was born in Sandusky, Ohio in 1895. I do not know where William Carl Levick and Mercy Comer met and/or married. Any help is appreciated. lucymazer@worldnet.att.net
