[or-roots] FREYDIG Family

[Bob & Nancy Noble]

Happy Holidays, Rooters!  I'm searching for someone from the FREYDIG family.  A friend found an old tin box at a second-hand store containing Freydig family documents (including marriage, birth and naturalization documents), photos, letters, etc. etc.  Because he couldn't stand to see it just sitting there, he bought it and we are now trying to locate descendants of the family so we can re-unite these wonderful old things with a family member.

So far, we have been able to find out a bit about the family.  Jakob Karl Freydig and Bertha Constance Escher Freydig had a son, Paul E. and daughters Virginia, Francis H., Helen and Marguerite.   They came to Oregon from Platte County, NE sometime between 1906 and 1910, when they lived in Sutherlin.  By 1920 they were living in Portland.  Jakob died there in 1924, and Bertha in 1949.

Paul (b. 4 Apr 1893) married Eleanor Edmonds.  They lived in Seattle and San Diego; they had daughters Barbara and Constance.  Paul was a Lt. Colonel in the Air Force.

Virginia never married, was b. abt. 1897 and d. 12 May 1959 in Portland.

Marguerite (b. Feb 1898) married Homer P. RUSH, a physician.  They lived and died in Portland, he d. 18 Sep 1970 and she d. 5 Jan 1974.  They had son, Homer P. Jr. and one other child who must still be alive, but we cannot locate either.

Frances H. was b. 9 Jun 1904 and d. 20 Jan 1988 in Portland; she was single.
 
Helen married Gordon A. REMMEL after 1930, and they both died in Los Angeles, she on 29 Apr 1994 and he on 26 Dec 1974.  We haven't found if they had children.

If anyone out there can help us find descendants of any of these folks, we would be so grateful!
