Please do not send me any mail from 4/2/2001 thru 4/13/2001 Thank you shirley ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christine Masse" <lchristym@home.com> To: <CIRCUS-FOLK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2001 2:48 AM Subject: [CIRCUS-FOLK] Enos in America > I am trying to find out anything about Phillip Rudolph Enos who would have been born around 1880 to 1900 and married Laura Anne Schaak. He was an aerial clown contortionist. He stayed mostly on the West coast. His son Phillip Rudolph Enos Jr. took up clowning after him and after getting married stayed with clowning with his wife and went to Europe. This is why my search is for America only. We have the son and his family (who up until last year stayed in circus) but we need our grandfathers info. All conventional resorces have failed due to the lack of info and the ancestors not doing the governmental paperwork (birth certificates not filled for, death certificates lost and not listed with SSI, and the like). If anything I think that is most of our problem in finding our ancesters that were in circus and carny is because they traveled all the time and they didn't do the paperwork. My grandfather and mom are rolling over in their graves because I have put circus and carny t! og! > ether. > I also have some photos that others may be interested in: > A chimp act with trainer of last name Adams. I have a picture with Ulla the chimp at rest after playing with Adams, Jr. > A signed picture from Skeets Ga???ghs may have been a band leader or a clown, doubt that he was in trap. > Thank you for the great site to help us find the missing people in our lives and the chance to talk to others like ourselves so that now we don't feel so isolated. For years I though I was the only one that had these kind of people in my history and now I know there are even more. > In the land of clowns, > Chris in IN > > > ============================== > Join the RootsWeb WorldConnect Project: > Linking the world, one GEDCOM at a time. > http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com > >
