Just found your message, Feel sure it's same family. My grandmother, Helen Sweetring, married James Benda in the 1890's and moved to Ames, Iowa. She had a sister, Cecelia,. who had at least 3 daughters. I knew dad's cousins, Margaret and Helen, because they married and moved to Portland, Oregon where I grew up. Can't remember the third daughter's name. Maybe, with more research in Quincy, I'll come up with some answers. Thank you so much for answering. Helen Benda Balanko
