Your location - city and state .......... or just state: My name is Frank Weihs and I live in Tacoma, WA. How you are connected to Kansas City, MO or Kansas City, KS? I lived in KCMO with my parents in 1942, but my parents had lived there before, and my Weihs grandparents were married there. My gg-grandparents, Laban RECORDS (b. 11 May 1807-d. 31 May 1875) and Martha (STITES) RECORDS (b. 1 Jan 1809-d. 29 Jun 1882) settled near Liberty, Clay Co., MO, in 1865, along with their children including my g-grandfather James M. RECORDS (b.26 Apr 1843-d. 15 Jan 1899. My gg-grandmother Louisa S. (TRACEY) FARNSWORTH (b. 2 Mar 1811-d. 14 Jan 1892) settled in Liberty in 1854, accompanied by her children. Her daughter Emma V. FARNSWORTH (b. 21 Jul 1850-d. 6 Nov 1922) m. James RECORDS in 1867, and they spent the rest of their married life in KCMO. Their daughter Cora M. RECORDS (b. 27 Jan 1871-d. 6 Jan 1941) m. John C. WEIHS (b. 26 Jan 1867-d. 9 Feb 1939) in 1891 and set up housekeeping in KCMO, living there until about 1900 when they show up in Osyka, Pike Co., MS. The previous year John's brother Henry WEIHS married Cora's sister Minnie Bird. The two of them lived in KCMO until Henry's death in 1896. Minnie continued to live in KCMO with her two daughters Bertha and Mabel WEIHS until 1903 when she remarried--to Thomas HART and moved to Springfield, Greene Co., MO. James and Emma RECORDS and Henry WEIHS are buried in Elmwood Cemetery in KCMO. What you hope to gain by being a member of the KC Mailing List? I have already gained quite a bit of family information with the help of John O'Brien and Anita Weaver, but hope to discover a dependable birth record for my grandmother Cora Maude RECORDS. She is supposed to have been born 27 Jan 1871, in Wyandotte, Wyandotte Co, KS, but I have been unable to document that information. I am also looking for information about Mabel (WEIHS) LITTLE, Minnie Bird's daughter. I know she was married to a Ronald LITTLE and was living in KCKS in 1942, but that is about all I have. Beyond the specific genealogical information provided by the mailing list, I enjoy very much the historical items that John passes along, sharing them with other members of my family.
