The
Ovat/Ovatt's settled in Republic, Warrior, and
Brookside areas of Alabama.
John and Mary are buried at
a Catholic Church in Brookside, Alabama called St. Micheals.. They
are buried in the part of the cemetary where the Slovensky familiy is
buried... I know they had
some close friends of the last name
"Harvella" and "Shima" .Maybe if there are anyone in those families who
know anything? They were coal miners and were Austrian, or
Slovak ?? We are not sure.. I have found no Immigration for the
last name that ties with my family... I need help...PLEASE
I think
that they immigrated in between 1897 & 1905 maybe even through
Canada,
or the south..... I know that John and Mary were maybe
married before they came to America, and the oldest son Mike was born
there also.. I believe....

Matthew Kerr came from Ayrshire, Scotland to Blossburg, Jefferson, Alabama.
He died March 6, 1894. I am looking for his burial location. His son, Thomas Brown Kerr and his wife Catherine Omiston Wyllie moved to Bay City, Bay County, Michigan. Any Kerr family information would be greatly appreciated. Contact: amidd67@chartermi.net
