Possible relative

Samuel Henry Seem

Lola Seem's 1909 Ohio birth certificate names her father as Samuel Henry Seem, age 38, born in Sandusky County, and living in Freedom Township near Bradner. A public family page states that Samuel Henry Seem was born on 19 May 1870 in Ohio, died on 4 June 1962 in Bowling Green, Ohio, married Minnie Eva Darrow, and was a child of Herman Seem and Mary Jane Myers. Treat Samuel as Lola Louise Seem's father lead pending user review and stronger image-backed corroboration.

Why this is not settled yet

1870 –

  • Can a marriage record for Samuel Henry Seem and Minnie Eva Darrow confirm the couple and their parents?
  • Can Samuel's death certificate, obituary, cemetery record, or probate record confirm his birth date, death date, spouse, and parents?
  • Do 1900-1940 census records place Samuel with Minnie and children including Lola or Lois in Michigan and Wood County, Ohio?
