Hi Julia Boy, you are doing better than me. I have asked for any cops in Independence KS and find that there isn't a one belonging to the IPA. No Shoemaker or Fishburn (Wilma's mother's lines) relatives down there either. I ran Katie Phillips thru SSDI and had one match: Katie Phillips b(01 Jun 1881) d(May 1976 Linn MO) then I searched for last name Phillips in Linn and had three hits, Katie, another female with SSN issued in CA, and: John Phillips b(01 Sep 1909) d(11 Jun 1988 Linn MO) If you have them in correct order, that would leave a big gap between Katie and Martha1898, and Linn is 20 miles east of Jefferson City, a long way from Kansas City. You mention Lyda the "other missing daughter" but I note that there is nothing on Joseph or Parker either, or am I missing something? In any case, congratulations on getting that much. One more thing, I finally found the card for the Santa Ana cop I went to school with, Greg Machia, but now I can't find the name of the guy you wanted me to contact. Michael
