The message was from Marge Rice MARGERICE@prodigy.net I just redirected it. I forwarded your message to her. >Dear Pat, I don't know for sure if this Gertrude Wyckoff is related to my >family or not. What I do know is that I am a descendant of the Dunbar family >of Knox County, Illinois. In our family we have an Alice G. Dunbar who was >born on 5 October 1860 in Henderson Township, Knox County, Illinois. Alice >married John G. Wyckoff and they had 4 children that I know of: Mattie >(1888), Lena (1892), John (1897) and Frederick (1900) Wyckoff. I think it >is quite likely that there were other children born earlier than Mattie. >Alice was 28 years old when Mattie was born so it is unlikely that Mattie was >her firstborn. I would very much like to have a copy of your Gertrude >Wyckoff to add to my files. Please let me know if I can send an envelope or >if you have the ability to scan the photo and send it as an email attachment. > I'm also be very interested in contacting anyone who connects to the Wyckoff > family. Wyckoff is a fairly unusual name and I think it likely that >Gertrude was related to my Knox County Wyckoff family. Just let me know how >I would go about receiving a copy of the picture and I will be glad to >respond. Thank very much for posting your finding.
