-------------------------------------- Date: Saturday, April 7, 2001 1:34 PM From: RonLyn Mockenhaupt <ronm@westol.com> I'm making a one-time offer for anyone who can prove a relationship to these families. My step-grandmother, maiden name Helen Louise ROBY, passed away leaving a lot of family pictures. Some are of her first husband, Joseph George PETROSKY, b. 1903, son of Joseph. Others are of her own ROBY family. Her father was George Philip ROBY and mother was Idella May CUMMINS - daughter of Andrew CUMMINS and Mary Jane KELLY. I also have some old marriage certificates and Bibles for these families. The first to prove a relationship can have them. If no one is related, I'll give them to the historical society. Contact me directly at ronm@westol.com. Linda

To my fellow Cumminses, Are there any Cumminses in Omagh or County Tyrone today? We could be related. My great grandfather Thomas Cummins came from there to America in 1870 with his brother. I know nothing of his family in Ireland. I'd like to hear from you even if Thomas may not be in your family. Yours, John Reeves

Donna and Capt. Fred: Thanks so much for your comments. I guess it's the origin of the name. If you look at it as Lo or La it would mean the right? Dusky means dark..... Who knows.... I have seen it a few times, but do not know the origin either...someday maybe something will pop up! Her obituary said she had two living brothers and one sister at her time of death which was 1911, Union Star,DeKalb Co, MO. I sure wish I could find her parents. Rose

I have no idea where the name Lodusky comes from, but my great-great-greatuncle, Ferdinand Allen, who was born in July 1876, married Emma Lodusky/Lowdusky Bartmess, daughter of John Bartmess and Emmeline Fuller. I think I've seen it one other time, too, in some database or another. Unusual name, anyway. Regards, Donna Isom MacDougall

Rose O Rose I am sorry, but I have not seen Lodusky as yet, or at least not made note of it. I think your correct to look for it as a family name. I do not adhear to the now popular beliefe that our ancestors threw names around. We the modern generation are the ones that just pick names out of hats. Myself and all of my brothers can tell you exactly who we were named after. My wife and I on the other hand used just the middle name to carry on family or friends of note in our childrens names. I'ts like my GG James McDonald Cummins, No doubt that we were kin or He was a very likeable Preacher. There is tredition that says that gg was a lay minister. Stay on the Lodusky trail, I'll watch for it as I crawl along. Good talking with you , later ..........Capt.
