Marilyn Kuster from Reno, Nevada since l964 when Marvin retired from the Army at his last duty station after 20 plus years. Found over 400 of our Kansas relatives of which we were aware of only l cousin whom he hadn't seen since childhood. Met a gal who used same old family doctor I did and is from approximately same general neighborhood and another who was married to a classmate of mine who was in the school band and took Spanish classes with me. We also have mutual acquaintances and so we can reminisce from time to time. I have found grown children of old friends, now deceased,with whom I have able to communicate. The facilities that are available to you on this list from organizations and people are certainly superior to most others and we need to keep John happy so he will remain the head hog of the pigpen. Goal of obtaining correct materials from the Kansas City death records is infuriating but these records were compiled long before the current employees were even born. Even MidContinent Library can't find "where the bodies are buried". Only hope remains is if the State catches up with putting all the certificates on-line from Jackson County. Every one has a brick wall, do we not?? **************New year...new news. Be the first to know what is making headlines. (http://www.aol.com/?ncid=emlcntaolcom00000026)
