Muffenbiers!

I got an Ancestry.com subscription!  However, I don't have the international version subscription.   So my work kind of stops here in the states.

Tonight I worked on the family married to Thelma Marie Millican - now Thelma Marie Muffenbier.  She is the daughter of William and Marie Millican. Apparently, still living out in Boring, Oregon (as in boring a hole, not boring lack of entertainment). 

I remembered that I have a picture of her being married in the 1940's to a Philip Muffenbier - don't ask me how I remember this.  I have no idea how I remember this.  But I do. The clue was she is in my genealogy as Thelma Marie Muffenbier rather than Millican, so I just had to remember the first name.  So I did some searches to confirm what I thought I remembered and VOILA!  I was right.  

So she married a Philip R Muffenbier, though I don't remember the date.  I do know it was in the second world war though because Philip was in his uniform. I believe they got married at St. Agatha's church in Portland.


So here's a few screen shots of my info that I've gotten, including Philip's father Joseph Muffenbier:


 At present I'm unable to locate, according to the 1930 census from Milwaukie, Oregon, for the Muffenbier Family, where their birth took place in North Dakota (according to the census).  I'm finding unofficial records of a wedding in Saskethawan, and saw a hint at a crossing from Canada into the US, but other things I'm finding are saying that Joseph was from Odessa, Russia - so - not sure if he came to Canada and then to the U.S. to Oregon.
