Dan Palmer Mon Apr 7 11:57:37 1997
As far as we can determine he was born in Canada according to a Utah 1851 census he said he was from Canada. It was rumored that he either went to the California Gold fields or returned to Canada. We believe his parents were George and Hannah Palmer from Cramahe, Ontario, Canada. We also know that Isaac received/bought some land in Canaada from a George palmer, who we think is either his father or his brother George Palmer Jr. who got land for military service. We also know that George, Jr.'s wife Phoebe, sent their daughter Rhoda to live with Isaac Palmer and his wife, Ann Elizabeth while she accompanied the Mormon Battalion after Georges's death. Rhoda lived with Isaac and Ann Elizabeth for quite a while and the named a daughter Rhoda after this young woman. We know Isaac left Ann Elizabeth while there were in Utah and she later went up to Bear Lake County, Idaho. We also know that Isaac joined the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saings and went to Iowa. We need substanciating information. We believe he was borned in late 1700 or early 1800 (Utah census of 1851 had him as an adult and born in Canada as I said before.) We could use any help possible. I have looked at the indexes for Family Tree Makers and they have George and Hannah Palmer listed in four suspected volumes, but I'm out of work and am hard pressed to purchase these volumes (1500 - 1990 Pedigrees CD, 1607-1776 England to USA, Canadian Genealogy 1600-1900, and world families 1600-1699. I am also sending this message to my Sister and Brother so that they may be aware of this message. I would greatly appreciate any help you might have in this regards. Thanks in advance.

George Kostmayer Sat Jun 21 07:59:19 1997
The following information is all I have on these two people. I obtained the information from the California voters register for the upcoming 1872 election. John Kostmayer - 35 in 1867 Born in Baden 30703 Valentine Kostmeyer - 31 in 1866 Born in Germany 30704 I think the numbers 30703 & 30704 are probably the numbers on the voter's sign in book when they voted in 1872. If (35 in 1867) is referring to John's age, he would have been born in 1831 or 1832, and Valentine in 1834 or 1835. John Kostmayer - 35 in 1867 Born in Baden 30703
