I am researching this family for a genealogical magazine. Any information with sources we can share would be helpful. The primary and secondary source data I have follows. Anywhere you see "___" indicates a lack of primary or secondary source data. If you have any you could share I would sincerely appreciate it. I would also love to have any images you can share. If we print them in the magazine, I will insert a "courtesy of" in the caption. I'll also send you a PDF of the magazine when it's finished. Looking forward to hearing from you, Stephanie Schlick Assoc.
