Have you checked the book "Bruner, Wooley & Weech Families" by Alice Cole? She wrote all about these BRUNER families. She lived and perhaps still does, in Knox County environs. The book would be in the Knox County library but she sent me a copy to place in the genealogy collection in the Los Angeles Public library. I'm sure other libraries also have it. I am a descendant of these families.....if we can just connect you up, we have the lineage back to Maryland and before that, Germany. Let me know what luck you have in locating the book. The LDS church might have a copy on microfilm...I haven't checked their webpage for that. Keep in touch....Jan Lund -----Original Message----- From: Carl Antrim <cmantrim@swbell.net> To: ILKNOX-L@rootsweb.com <ILKNOX-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, November 21, 2000 7:59 PM Subject: [ILKNOX-L] Bruner Family >Hello, I'm a subscriber but haven't put out a plea until now! > >To ALL who are related to the Bruners who removed from KY to IL: >Does anyone know anything concerning STEPHEN BRUNER m.
