I grew up in the Kansas City area and I have been researching my families for 15-20 years. My great-grandfather came from Germany in 1871 and lived in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago before coming to Kansas City in 1903. His name was Michael CAPP. He was a part of a group who began Central Bible Hall in KCMO, but he settled with his family in KCKS. He was a tent evangelist and traveled by train throughout the midwest. He was friends with Walter WILSON a medical doctor who had a popular radio program in Kansas City. My Dad's family also had connections with BAKER-LOCKWOOD tent and awning company which still operates out of Grandview, MO Other family names on my Dad's side are BARTLETT and SCHENCK. >  >My mother's family came from England to Tennesse and then Carroll County MO. (Carrollton). In the early 1900's they moved to KCKS. Her father was Reuben Rector JOHNSON and her mother was Laura PHILLIPS. Other family names on my Mom's side are HUFF and GWINN. >  >I have kind of come to a stand still genealogically, but I like to read the e-mails and John O'Brien's posts. I live in the country between Pleasant Hill, MO and Lone Jack, MO. If anyone needs a lookup from this area, I'd be glad to help others. This area is rich in Civil War history. >  >Anita  > >--- On Sun, 1/4/09, John O'Brien <JohnOBrien@kc.rr.com> wrote: > >From: John O'Brien <JohnOBrien@kc.rr.com> >Subject: [KANSASCITY] the Kansas City Mailing List members >To: "KansasCity" <KansasCity@rootsweb.com> >Date: Sunday, January 4, 2009, 9:32 AM > >Good morning, > >You are one of 135 members on the Kansas City Mailing List. > >As we begin a new year, I thought it would be interesting to >know a little something about us members, and maybe even >help each other, so I'm requesting that you respond to this >note with the following: > >Your location - city and state .......... or just state > >How you are connected to Kansas City, MO or Kansas City, KS > >What you hope to gain by being a member of the KC Mailing List > >Your family name - first, first & last, or none. > >=================================================== > >Perhaps someone on the List will be able to provide you with >information.
