Ia Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/Webster/10227 Surname: Switzer, Swisher, Moore ------------------------- My mother, Julia Ann (Switzer) Pennington was born in Gowrie, IA. Her brother Rueben or Ruben died in Gowrie. I'm looking for anyone that might have information about thier ancestors. Arthur & Mattie (Moore) Switzer were their parents. Arthur's father was John Franklin who served in the 17th Iowa Inf. during the Civil War. Some in this family went by Swisher.
