I am Gijs Houbenfron the Netherlands, and I do research on two brothers of my grandfather,

L.H. Thyssen (Leo) born 1863)
L.H. Thyssen (louis) born in 1870
both lived in Larchwood for a number of years

I have found data on naturalization, military service and the census of Leo Thyssen.

Question: is there more information about him, such as his address or the farm where he worked as a farmer.

About Louis Thyssen are in addition to a number of official dates several newspaper articles known.

Question: is there more information about Louis Thyssen, such as his home address and the address of the saloon in Larchwood.

Question: can you please send me the digital photo of Louis Thyssen that I found on your website.
