Hello, I'm happy to announce a new Special Project, the Kansas Family Group Sheet (FGS) project. It's my privilege to be managing it, and I hope to be very busy adding family group sheets submitted by all of you. The URL for the page is http://www.rootsweb.com/~usfgs/kansas/ . I think you'll find the page easy to read and use, but if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. The USFGS home page (http://www.rootsweb.com/~usfgs/) links to all the states. I hope you'll take advantage of this new project. Those of us who have been working to bring it to Kansas are very excited about its possibilities. Any family group that lived in Kansas, even for a short time, can be posted. THE ONLY PERSONS WHO CANNOT BE POSTED ARE THOSE WHO ARE LIVING. Each family group sheet provides space for basic information about father, mother, and children; so if you only know about one family unit, you know enough to put the information up. If you know more, you can add more family group sheets: the father's parents and siblings, the mother's parents and siblings, the children's spouses and children, and on and on. If you've traced the family into other states, you can post your group sheet in those states as well as Kansas. But just one family sheet in one state can be enough to make new and exciting connections. We've prepared the pages and forms, added search engines and links, and now it's in your hands. Send in your family group sheets. One a day, one a week, whatever works for you. Tell your fellow researchers about the site. Talk about it at your next genealogical society meeting. Mention it in your emails. The more people hear about the site, the more contributions we're likely to get; and the more contributions we receive, the more valuable the project is going to be. I'll be waiting for your family to turn up in my mailbox! Charles Barnum, KS FGS manager I started my genealogy research in Kansas about 40 years ago.

All the photos appear to be original to the album with many bearing the name of 'Lewis' photography studio in Eureka, Kansas. The cover of the album is so charming with brass and pink enameled wreath decorations to the corners and a matching center frame of ornate brass and pink enameling which frames a stunning 3" x 3-3/4" celluloid picture of a pretty young lady with flowers in her hair. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3227289614&category=26265

The Maben site is a good one - but it is a little too late for my ancestors. I have seen the township also given as Pleasant Grove - that is probably more correct. Thanks - Linda

I need some help in looking for a tombstone or cemetery record for my ancestor Abby J. Huntley who died in 1867 in Greenwood County - and her son Clark Huntley who disappeared after the 1865 census. He probably also died in Greenwood Co. In the census records, they were living in Pleasant Twp. Where would be the best place to look? Thank you - Linda Hansen
