I am the great grand daughter of Henry Archibald McGinnis and would like to find information about and the names of his parents. He was born on 6 Nov. 1850 in Benton, WI , married Lucy Jane Cook on 12 March 1880 in Durango, Iowa and died 28 March 1928 in Dubuque, Iowa. I'd also like information on Lucy Jane Cook's parents. She was born 29 March 185l in Durango, Iowa and died 1 June 1936 in Dubuque, Iowa. Thanks for any help anyone could provide Lavonne Murphy Eckert

Bonnie, Can you amplify on your post a bit? Do you have the McGinnis family on a later census that indicates Henry's parental nativity? I find nothing on his family 'til 1930 where Lucy J. Maginnis is in the h/h of her daughter & s-i-l. in Burlington, Des Moines co. Found a Walter 37, Pa. & Maria 33, Eng. Cook in 1870 Center twp, Dubuque co. With younger sibs is a daughter Lucy J, 14, Ia. Can't find them in 1860 but in 1880 Walter Cook is a widower in town of Dubuque, but Lucy has left the nest. Dick May you live to be a hundred, with an extra year to repent!
