My Mothers name was Iva Rae McConnell. My mother birth date is March 16/27. Iva had two older sisters Inez and Unice. Iva's parents were Roy McConnell and Olive Matilda Pratt. I do not have a lot of information about my grand parents. What information I do have is my Grandpa was raised by a stepmother as his mother died at a young age. My grandpa had polio as a young man and had one leg shorter than the other. I heard that he originally came from Oregon and had a brother and sisters. It was said may times that I was a decendant of George Washington. Some of my relatives would visit an Aunt Betty (in Dakota) I was very excited to read up on the McConnell clan, thinking perhaps there was a connection. Thank you Wanda Bennetts Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
