Hi, I am Cookie. I was born and raised in Fort Dodge, Webster County, Iowa. I LOVE IOWA! I left when my husband was stationed in the East and we have been out here since 1962. We are knee deep in GENEALOGY and are certainly addicted to it!! Can anyone help us with info on the families of ABRAMS, BRADFORD, BURKHOLDER, McCARTHY OR McCARTY? I just found this list this morning and can't wait to read the archives. Cookie

BRUNCK,BRUNK,BRONG/ PLANCK I am seeking data on Nicholas Brunck, born in 1713 in West Camp, NY to Mathys and Anna Brunck. Mathys died in 1915 & Anna married Johann Planck. I would like to find Census and Church records on the Johann & Anna Planck family to see if Nicholas is listed also his half siblings-Christina,22 in 1710 and John Hendrik, 16 in 1710.

Researching: Patrick HEALY (b. in Ireland about 1833). He was a school teacher. He married Anna CAMPION (b. Ireland April 1842). They had 2 children in Ireland: Anna (1960) and Michael (1863). They came to US in 1863 - Xenia, OH. Had 4 more sons: Thomas, Joseph, John and Peter. They moved to Buffalo between births of Joseph and John. Their daughter Anna married a man named Fowler, had a son Robert, then married again to a man named Hull. She died in Cherry Creek, NY

Looking for more on the Houdek family.Wenzil was my ggrandfather and came from Bohemia/Austria abt 1865. They settled in Washington, Ia.

My wife, Sandra's ggrandfather was Christian Lames from Germany who settled in LeClair Iowa. They had Augustus who ended up in Dysart, Iowa and had Harry Stevens Lames.

I'm a third great-granddaughter of Revolutionary War Patriot Peter Van Orden (1761-1841) and his third wife, Maria, who lived (and are buried) in Windham, New York. They operated an inn on Windham Mountain, apparently on the old Schoharie Turnpike. None of the books I've consulted can provide any other information about the inn and I'd dearly love to know if perhaps any of Peter's other descendants (during his three marriages he produced 17 children) can tell me anything about the inn: the years it was in operation, exactly where it was located, what its name was, what finallly became of it.

I just ran across a couple of things in a Fort Dodge, Iowa Corpus Christi History book I do not understand. Can anyone help me? 1. It is stated that in 1856 flour was $13.00 per bar. What or how much would a bar be? 2. BOONESBOROUGH is listed as the old name for BOONE, Iowa. My Mother claimed that my Great Uncle was born in Boonesborough, Iowa in 1856 on the way to Fort Dodge. I can find no information about Boonesborough and this is the only other time I have heard Boon referred to as this. Can anyone shed any light on this?

I found my ggrandfather Jeremiah Sullivan living in Bombay, NY with his family on the 1860 census.His parents were Lawrence and Mary Crowley from Ireland. There were seven children named in the census. Only Jeremiah and Ellen are the only two that we knew about. Am trying to find information on the other five,John,MaryA, Hannah,Margaret, and James Sullivan.

This is what little I could find about 'Boonesborough:' Booneville: established 28 August 1850 changed to Boonesborough 28 November 1851 changed to Boonesboro 28 December 1893 and discontinued 30 June 1902 Note: it is within today's Boone city limits at the west edge of town Source: http://www.celticcousins.net/paloalto/descendants_of_james_brennan.htm

I see that you have the surname Gott in your message. What Gott are you referring to or related to? If I remember correctly, A Gott married a Rhodes.

I am new to the list. Wondering if anyone has any information about the Gott Family, who came into the U. S. in 1650 to Maryland, migrated to Kentucky, to Indiana, and on to Iowa in 1846.

Does anyone have anything on the Root Family from Iowa, Wisconsin, New York, Connecticut? Or the Burdick Family? Or the Napier Family?

Hi Bev, My GOTT family is from Brayton, Yorks. My GOTT married a SLACK in 1795. My RHODES family consists of a mother and daughter (b.1815) only (as far as I can find) are from Castleford. My RHODES female marries a FROBISHER in 1831. The two families do not marry and do not have any connection until further down the 'road'...so to speak. Thanks for resonding though...good luck!

My GG Grandfather was a Hickey, Charles Samuel Hickey, Sr, a light skinned black from Albany, New York. He appears in Waynesburg, Greene County, Pennsylvania in the 1870 Census. He was a barber, a member/trustee of Bethel A.M.E. Church, and a charter member of the local colored Masonic organization. He also purchased and lived in, at one time, the house and property that was the first courthouse in Waynesburg, Greene County. That courthouse was a log building and has been rebuilt and is now home for Cornerstone, the local historical/genealogy society. I am looking for surname Hickey.

HI Cathy, I have relatives in the BUTLER CO. area of IA. I found some interesting information at http://www.raogk.org/ Also you might want to check out the genealogical societies in those counties. I wrote to the Delaware County Genealogical Society & they were very helpful. You can check these groups out by checking out the genealogical groups in IA.

Am looking for information on the surname Woolheater and any related family.

Bar probably refers to barrel. Does your Fort Dodge history book mention a McGinnis Boarding House by chance? Or a Patrick Sullivan?

Would like to contact anyone researching the following names: BRIGGS, MASSEY, MORGAN, LINCOLN, DALTON, BATTLE, VER PLANCK. Am also interested in the Irish in Huron County, Canada, and in early 20th century Chicago. Thanks!

I am researching Aldrich, Monroe and Carpenter in Chautauqua, Chenago, and Oneida NY. Also researching Brady, VanHouten and Wallings in Sussex NJ and in Marion Ohio. Thank you.

Carole, I have a number of BRIGGS in my lineage. Most of my BRIGGS came from NYS. Some time ago, an Internet friend of mine, sent me a very large listing of BRIGGS..all buried in NY. If you want to contact me, I will direct you to this young man in CT.

Kathy, I have a number of BRIGGS relatives in NYS. Some time ago, an Internet friend sent me a fairly sizeable list of BRIGGS which, I believe are buried in the NYS. I will be happy to forward that friend's name to you..let me know if you want it. Right now, unfortunately, I do not know where I put the paper. **Sorry Carole..I got Kathy & you mixed up.**
