I was born in KCK in 1959 and have lived here all my life, with the exception of a 9 month period in 2005.  My parents, one grandmother, and great-grandparents lived in KCK most of 1900.  My family names connected to this area are Blackman, Holland and Lucas.    Happy Hunting everyone!

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 Wyandotte County What you hope to gain by being a member of the Mailing List =================================================== Perhaps someone on the List will be able to provide you with information. This will be more probably if you include dates and names in your response. For example, saying "my grandfather lived in KC" will not get much of a response but saying "my grandfather, John O'Brien, lived in Argentine in the 1920s" might produce a result. It's up to you how specific you want to be. There is, of course, no requirement that you participate. However, simply responding: "I live in California and lived in Kansas City, KS in the 1950s" would be acceptable. Thank you for your consideration.
