Surnames: West Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Vm.2ADE/1261 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on my great grandparents, James and Ida West, who lived in Hutchinson Kansas in the early 1900s. James West died in 1927. Would particularly like to know Ida's maiden name. Ida supposedly adopted a little American Indian girl by the name of Margaret or Marjorie Mae West, who was born somewhere around 1920. Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Sandra VanOrman
