Floyd, I don't think I'd pay $40 for a census search. There is too much good free information out there. You can check many Census records yourself for free at most libraries. There is also lots of free information out there on the internet. When you figure out a few more details about your family, like dates and places of birth, siblings, parents, etc. things will just fall into place. There is a lot of history already researched and documented on the various Looney lines here in America back to the early 1700s. Check out Tilton's Manuscripts on the Looney family posted to my homepage: http://www.flash.net/~johnsonl/ There are several other Looney family homepages out there which you will find often referenced at the bottom of some of these Looney Discussion Group messages. Welcome to the group.

My father was born in 'Paul's Valley' Oklahoma. I am not too sure about any other geneology.(Hey, so we don't have records) There is a John and a Arthur Looney in there somewhere- I believe as my fathers brothers. I promise to ask my father but at 68 his memory is going. > > I understand that I can have a census search for my grandfather from 1930 for $40, Has anyone else done this? Is it accurate? > > I believe my grandfathers wife (my grandfather) was Ala Mae (I don't how thats spelled) Williams and was from Missouri. > > To throw any research further off, we believe we may have some Native American stock too. It seems, possibly, that Oscar T Looney's father married a full blood Choctaw. Since my middle name is Geron I have been telling people 'wrong tribe' a lot lately. > > The welome message from the list mentioned O'Looney in England. I stopped by a pub in New Orleans and saw O'Looney on a copy of an old map. I should have bought a copy of the dang poster. > > As you can see, we don't know much about our family history. > > Thanks > Floyd Geron Looney > > > ==== LOONEY Mailing List ==== > To unsubscribe, send a message to [email protected] > with the command UNSUBSCRIBE as the only line in the message's body. > If you're in digest, send it to [email protected] > >
