This will contain my father's information as I can find it.


This is my mom (left) and my Dad's mother. Sigrid Kinnamon. To me she was always Grandma Claus. I heard the name Kinnaman however growing up I thought it was a maiden name. I have reason to believe now that it may have been a previous married name. She may have been married to a NOEL Kinnamon. Dates and addresses seem to fit the right times. I am searching this information out tho it may take some time. This same information that let me to Noel, also had a Sigrid with last name of Peterson! So I may also be a Peterson here somewhere.

NEWLY ADDED...1.19/05...

I received an email from a gal who is Noel's Granddaughter. She has verified that he was indeed married to a Sigrid, she being his 3rd wife.

Yet another gal, whose name I am quite familiar with on the genealogy circuit, send me a short genealogy re: the Kinnaman family beginning with Andrew S Kinnaman (june 5 1805-Nov. 17, 1862) up to the same family in 1998....sure enough my Sigrid is in the list married to Noel (may 5, 1873-nov. 16, 1930 *D*) her info: Sigrid Elizabeth Peterson (a entirely different sheet has her uncle being a Oscar Cederquist from sweden Died in chicago..all being from Sweden..seems Sigrid was born in sweden too)

checking on Sigrid's parents...also on same gen as above re: Kinnaman... Father: Otto Peterson Mother: Emma Looking beyond this information is a blank wall. NOTE: My thanks to Mary gill smith, sharon pinio (sharon Kinnaman Smith) and the Illinois KK Board on Genealogy. Old Beatitude who dug up my grandmothers death obit....I THANK YOU ALL!!!!
