Hi Barbara, My name is Mary (Burris) Myers. I have an Aunt and Uncle living in Idaho whose names are Fannie and John Pinkston. I believe that Uncle Johns fathers name was Homer Pinkston and they lived around the Arnold - Calloway area. I can't remember all of Uncle Johns brothers and sisters. One sisters name was Ena. I can find that out though without any problem. I was born and raised around Anselmo, Nebraska all of my younger years and went to the country school at New Helena where the New Helena State Park is. That was the favorite time of my life grawing up in Nebraska. Hope this may help you. Sincerely, Mary M. in Arizona, USA researching Burris, Brown at bigj@primenet.com Barbara Pinkston wrote: > My grandfather, Frederick, and his brother William from Hanover, Germany > homesteaded near Holbrook, Furnas Co., NE sometime after 1885. > They were Missouri Synod Lutherans and belonged to a church out in the > country.
