Beverly WALKER
is looking for SEATON surname researchers. She is attempting to learn
more about George K. SEATON who lived in St. Alban's Twp. and then
Chili. Can anyone help her? Lots of luck, Beverly.
Wayne MELANSON has
the surnames SIMMONS in his family roots. Does anyone else? I hope you
find a few off spring, Wayne.
Dean BOMAN is
searching for a specific BOMAN lineage. James BOMAN (b. 1803
Georgia - d. 1894 Plymouth, IL.) & his brother
Ezekiel. Dean reports their surname could also be spelled BOWMAN.
Here's hoping you get some leads, Dean.
Loran Ralph BRAUGHT has
BROUGHT, BRAUGHT, BRAUCHT ancestors. His got his
fingers crossed that other researchers can bring new tips his
way. Beat of luck to you, Loran.
Joni JUNDT
has learned her G-Grandma's parents were James BARRY and his
wife, May Ellen HUNGATE and lived here during 1880 census. She writes
that her G-Grandma Florence Luella BARRY was recorded as Ellen by the
census taker and at times James BARRY was written as Jerry
BARRY. Sounds like she has a "mixed BARRY jam". Can anyone
help spread out her BARRY lineage. Good Luck, Joni.

you for submitting your surname, Kathleen.
