My great-grandfather Fred Henry Prentice was born on March 23, 1888 in Iowa. The little information I have is that his parents, Joseph Prentice and Mary Lee died before his 12th birthday. His father died in an accident and his mother died a year later. Fred had 2 brothers, Joseph and Charles, and 2 sisters, Clara and Nellie. Fred was placed in an orphanage in Omaha, Nebraska - possibly with his 2 sisters but Fred was later placed with a family from Nebraska. This is all I have to go on, I would like to be able to find our "missing link" before Fred's 2 remaining children are gone. Does this story sound familiar to anyone?

Sorry,I placed my original query in your guest book area.
I am wondering if anyone has any information about my connections prior to my great-grandfather, Levi Prentice. He was b.03/14/1855 d.01/08/1929, in Ontario, Canada.

I've been helping Pat Shipman in tracing the ancestry of Adam Prentice in the Dutch East Indies. Following is her latest E-mail: "I am making a little progress on tracking down my Prentice in the Dutch East Indies; maybe you
could post an update for me. If you remember, I was looking for information about Adam Prentice, born ca. 1857, in Java in the 1890's as a planter. I now know he married Jane (de) Clonie MacLennan on Jan. 16 1890 in Pasoerean, East Java; on May 21, 189
2, they had a son,
Gerard (or Gerardus) Alexander Prentice-MacLennan. I still have no info about Adam's parents, which I would dearly love to find.
I have a suspicion that Jane is the sister of Th. C. MacLennan (also spelled Mac.lennan, with a period in the middle!) , who was the second husband of Isabella Mary Boyd. Th. (Theo?) and Isabella married on June 12 1889 in Toeloeng Agoeng (now spelled T
ulungagung) East Java. Isabella is the daughter of Robert Boyd, who I was also searching for and who is now "found." Robert Boyd was born Feb. 2, 1828 in Batavia (Jakarta) Java; Isabella was his fifth child & second daughter. Robert himself was the son
of a Robert Boyd from Aberdeenshire, Scotland, born ca. 1795, died Dec. 11, 1865, emigrated to Soerabaya, Java.
Further speculations: Clonie, de Clonie, Cluny, Cloony, MacCluny etc. etc. are all variants of Scots names. There is even a Cluny Parish in Aberdeenshire. I know that the Boyds came to Java from Aberdeenshire early in the 1800s, probably when Java was u
nder British control; it may be that
the Clonie MacLennans and the Prentices did too. So if you or anyone else has a Prentice in Aberdeenshire who disappears" in the early 1800s and/or with family names of Adam, Alexander, Gerald/Gerard, I'd be interested!
