Shawna What a small world! I Have been slowly putting it all together and this what I have come up with. The people living on the property you and Linda visited is indeed the Kropelnicki's,and they are descended from Alfred Henry Owen and his second wife Sarah E Banther. That makes them your half cousins. My aunt Fredna has spent quite a lot of time visiting with Winnie Kropelnicki,who owns a part of the original Owen property. You may remember I said in one of my letters that Bonnie Waldier came and spent some time visiting Winnie,and they had some small problem over their grandmothers.Well it turns out that Bonnie is descnded from Alfred Henry and his first wife Caroline Wood. That of course makes her your full cousin. My aunt Fredna went to Washington state and had a very nice and fruitful visit with her also.They exchanged a lot of info and some pictures. In my files I have a picture of an old John Baxter Owen family get together,which apparently also includes John W Owen as an old man. As far as I can determine Alfred Henry had a total of twelve children by his second wife. None of these people have ever mentioned any other women,and it appears that Alfred was a county commisioner and well respected. I have copies of some official papers calling him a commissioner of the court. I am listing his children by Sarah Banther exactly as it was given to me.
