Posted on: Clark County, Nv Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Nv/Clark/10254 Surname: BENSON, RICHEY ------------------------- I would like to have some information on my Aunt Elizabeth RICHEY. I know in the 1940's and 1950's she was a LasVegas show girl in Clark Co. There is a possibility she was even there in the early to late 1930's as she was born in Glendive, MT 1911. She married Perry BENSON while there in LasVegas. She also was married a few times before being married to Uncle Perry and I assume these marriages also happened in Las Vegas. I have no idea the names of her other husbands, but she always used her maiden name-RICHEY. In the mid 1950's they moved to Houston, Harris, TX where they both died and are buried. Any information on them is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Barbara
The LDS Family History Center in downtown Las Vegas and 9th and Lewis is one of the best locations to seach. If it was Nevada History, I would recommend the Nevada State Library and Historic Society which is excellent. (Anxious to get there myself). There are special collections at University of Nevada Las Vegas located on Maryland Parkway between Flamingo Rd and Tropicana. Their website is at: http://www.unlv.edu./If you have a specific interest, there are many museums and libraries with specific collections. Please let me know.

Hi Listers, I'm new to the list and trying to track down a long lost cousin. Her name is Deborah Barber. Her mother, Evelyn, killed herself in 1971. The death certificate listed her address as 5516 Eugene Street, Las Vegas. Deborah was born in June 1960, so I'm guessing she would have graduated about 1978. I'm hoping to track down which high school she attended, and then see if I can somehow find her through a class reunion list. Can someone tell me which high school, in 1978, she would likely have attended, based on her address? Thanks so much for any and all help. Jennifer Rader ARaders@aol.com Reno, NV
