Additional information

Adam Baker (20.12.2009)

Buried in cemetery in Pender, Nebraska as Ole Baker. Married Betsy Valder. They had a son Albert Baker, who had a son George Baker, who had a son Alvin Baker, who had a son David Baker, who had a son Adam Baker (me). I found this site through a Google search.  As far as sources go, I viewed Ole, Albert, and George's tombstones myself today (12/19/2009) with my dad. We have a variety of family history documents for support.
