I've "rescued" an old photograph of three of Guy BRIGHT'S children (believed to be Bayard, Vonda, and Mildred) which was taken at the M. B. Vouk Studio in St. Cloud, MN. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with the three children ranging in age from infant to about 6 or 7 years. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding the family: Guy Louis BRIGHT was b. 9 Jun 1878 or 1879 in Marietta, IA to parents James Alexander "Alex" BRIGHT (b. 24 May 1832 in La Moille, OH-d. 7 Jun 1916) and Martha A. KLINE or CLINE (b. 15 Dec 1837 in OH). Guy was one of 5 children born to this couple including, Bayard Taylor; Harry Alexander; Henry V.; Arthur D.; and Guy L. BRIGHT, born in Urbana, OH; Indiana; and Marietta, IA between 1862 and 1879. Guy married Laura Bertha SNYDER (b. 5 Feb 1883 in Barton, MO) in 1903 in Barton, MO and together they had three children, Bayard C.; Vonda F.; and Mildred Anita BRIGHT, all born between 1907 and 1914. Bertha died in Durango, CO in Oct 1980 and daughter Vonda F. BRIGHT died in Durango, CO on 4 Feb 1994. Guy Louis BRIGHT died 22 Mar 1946 in Stearns, MN. Son Bayard C. BRIGHT b. 2 Nov 1907 in Barton, MO, married Dorothy CRAWFORD (1909-1993) and died in June 1974 in Durango, CO. Mildred BRIGHT b. 5 Mar 1914 in St. Cloud, MN married Ward William GILMOUR or GILMORE (1912-1976) and died 24 Mar 2005 in Durango, CO. Census records provide the following details: 1920 census of St. Cloud, MN: Guy L. BRIGHT, age 41, born IA Bertha BRIGHT, wife, age 37, born MO Byard BRIGHT, son, age 12, born MO Vonda BRIGHT, dau, age 9, born MO Mildred BRIGHT, dau, age 5, born MN 1930 census of La Plata Co., CO: Guy BRIGHT, age 50, born IA Bertha BRIGHT, wife, age 46, born MO Vonda BRIGHT, dau, age 19, born MO Mildred BRIGHT, dau, age 16, born MN 1940 census of Durango, CO: Bayard BRIGHT, age 32, born MO, a Civil Engineer Dorothy BRIGHT, wife, age 30, born CO 1940 census of Hermosa, CO: Guy L. BRIGHT, age 60, born IA, a Farmer Bertha BRIGHT, wife, age 57, born MO Vonda BRIGHT, dau, age 29, born MO I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Hello, My name is Vickie Ortiz and I have recently launched a website called idaphoto in order to identify unknown lost photos that are inherited, found in antique shops, and found after a natural disaster. These are photos that are someone's mother, sister, brother, son, grandparents, great grandparents and so forth. We are hoping to get as many as possible identified and reunited with their families. The reason we are sending this to you is that we have a photo that relates to Colorado. Would you please take a look at it and see if you recognize any of these photos? Please see link below. http://www.idaphoto.net/colorado.html If you see a photo that you recognize would you please contact us at the link provided on the website. Thank you!

Hi, Dot, I did some research several years ago on my grandfather, he went to school at Ft. Lewis High School in the early part of the century. I used these three sites and found several things.

Hi, Shelley, Frank Gonner was my great-grandfather. Thanks for sharing this online. If you rescue any more Gonner photos, please let me know. Are you from or around Durango? Frank had his studio in the Colorado State Bank Building on the second floor next to the Durango Democrat from about 1890 to 1893. His studio burned June 15, 1893 and he moved to a location on Main Street. That could have been 1052 Main Street, which was where his studio was after 1900. Kathy

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Charles E. ANGELL which was taken at the Gonner's Studio in Durango, Colorado. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Charles noted as 22 years old at the time. In addition to his name, someone has written "To Cousin Angelia" on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to locate the family in census records as follows: 1880 census of Columbus, NE: A. P. ANGELL, age 32, a Railroad Agent, born RI, parents born VT/NJ Jennie M. ANGELL, wife, age 28, born WI, parents born NY Charles ANGELL, son, age 4, born WI Minnie ANGELL, dau, age 3, born WI And living directly next door Chas H. ANGELL and wife Mary E. ANGELL - appears to be brother to A. P. ANGELL 1900 census of Denver, CO: Addison P. ANGELL, age 51, born Feb 1849, married 27 years, born RI, parents born RI, a Railroad Express Messenger Jennie M. ANGELL, wife, age 49, born Mar 1851, married 27 years, 1 child/1 living, born WI Charles E. ANGELL, son, age 25, born Jan 1875, born WI, a Railroad Clerk I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of his family. If you are a member of this ANGELL Family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Hello, I am looking for information on an Edgar Buchanan who married Doll Tovrea1917. They lived in Oxford, La Plata Co., CO. They had two sons: Harry b 1920 and Douglas b 1919. Edgar's parents were Andy/Andrew J and Clara and he was born 18 Aug 1897in Ida Grove, Ida Co., IA. Edgar's parents moved to La Plata co., CO 1900-1910. Edgar was named after his Uncle Edgar, the lawyer in La PlataCo., CO. Doll and her two sons, along with her siblings Carl, Thomas Charles (Archie), Florence and her parents Charles Thomas and his wife Ruth Anna Tovrea all left Colorado about 1921-1922. Edgar was left behind. I am trying to find out what happened to him. Any information would be helpful. Gladys

I'm looking for some feedback on an ancestry website I created for beginners. It's a collection of free ancestry resources and how to use them. My wife convinced me to put this website together. I kept getting questions from people who knew I was doing ancestry research. They wanted to know where to go to get information about their ancestry. So I put this website together: http://sites.google.com/site/FunSimpleFreeAncestry It contains a lot of links to websites that are already in many of the GenWeb County websites. I just put them all together with examples of how to use them. I've been tracking the hits on each page and have removed a couple and added some. I think I have the right balance now. At least people seem to be looking at all of the pages on the website. Please feel free to pass this email onto anyone or any group that may find it useful. Thanks, Dan Smith

Grand-Loving Those GrandKids by Marilou Genereaux Booth You have 10 grandchildren scattered over many miles. How do you get to know each of them for the special person they are? How do they get to know you? Grandparenting from a distance can be expensive, frustrating and time-consuming if you think only in terms of gifts, sizes and tastes. With a little creativity, however, the challenge of grandparenting can be both rewarding and grand fun for you and the grandkids. Children of any age love to receive gifts, but the gifts that touch the heart are often the least expensive. Like most grandparents, I had amassed a huge clutter of photos I dreamt of someday organizing into albums for my kids. As I was thinking of what I would do for five of my grandkids whose birthdays fell in July, I realized there was a way I could give them a gift that would keep on giving&shy;and be relatively inexpensive. I dropped by Wal-Mart and purchased a photo album for each of my grandkids. Then I sorted through my pictures and began putting together a fun album. I included pictures of that grandchild with Grandfather and me, and I also included old childhood photos of their parents. Why did I do that? Because kids love to see what Mom and Dad looked like back in their grade school and high school years. I typed out "story" captions for the photos, and I gussied up the pages with colorful stickies. These individual photo albums can kickstart good communication between you and grandchildren you seldom get to see. Perhaps you¹ve experienced those awkward phone calls in which you and your grandchildren don¹t know what to talk about. Well, these photo albums will spark questions, especially if you occasionally send new pages to be added to the album. (That¹s why you may want to purchase albums in which you can add extra pages to it.) For instance, two of my grandchildren love playing Little League baseball. I¹ll be sending them team pictures of their parents back in their Little League days. When we talk on the telephone, I can ask more than "Did you win? and "Did you get a hit?" We can talk about the positions they play compared to ones their parents played, and how you remember the time when their father was at bat with the bases loaded and two outs. . . . You can also ask your grandchildren to send you photos of themselves. If their parents aren¹t shutterbugs, then send your grandchildren a disposable camera and ask them to take photos around the house. Tell them you¹ll even pay for the film processing. Once you have the photos in hand, you can put them in an album, which can be left out on their next visit. Names and events take on flesh and blood with pictures, and by building a close relationship through photos and story captions, you can become a real person in your grandchildren¹s lives. **************One site has it all.
