Hi Lanita, I am working on my Wellbourn/Wilborne etc families recently. Have been to St. Louis library looking and am now e mailing a few people. We keep busy here, I am doing a genealogy program for the St. Francois Co. Historical Society in Farmington this coming Wend. Evening and we are having our society board meeting tomorrow nite. We are planning a trip to Fort Wayne, Indiana this next June, a bus tour actually, so I will send you info when we get the tour guide to do a package for us. We need to fill up the bus. And as you know, Fort Wayne has one of the best research libraries in the US. We are planning on a four day tour. Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday, and it will probably take all winter to get enough people to fill the bus. They all don't have to be researchers- there are other things to do in Fort Wayne, but of course, I will be going just for the research, Ha. Well, you can spread the word for us if you will, it will be heavily advertised through Iron County Genealogy Society and other places also, as we get all the kinks ironed out. Thanks, Jeanette Henson McClure, Pres of ICGS. Jeanette... I did not know about the library at Fort Wayne.. What makes it better than others? Lanita

I'm working on my Wonsyld/ Betz familes. Wonsyld is my grandfather's family. He was recently diagnosed with Terminal Cancer and so I feel this sudden urge to find anything i'm able to about his grandfather whom he spent a large amount of time with as a child and was very very close to. His grandfather Jens Wonsyld immigrated to America from Denmark in 1880, but before that we know nothing of him. I can't find any link to a Wonsyld in Denmark from him. He all in all had 3 wifes and 11 children that we know of. I say this because for some time he lived with the Blackfoot Nation and was said to have a wife with the tribe. So that is where my time is being spent! Not in Missouri, but Minnesota and North Dakota! Lanita M wrote: >Hi Lanita, I am working on my Wellbourn/Wilborne etc families >recently.
