Hi Jim - Clara is the sister of my stepchildren's grandmother, Virginia Delamater Lennon. Virginia was very stingy with family info - she distrusted the whole family history thing.So she was not willing to share much. I did meet some of the children here when Virginia died, and despite my request and their promise to provide, I never did get any more info. Clara's parents were: Floyd Delamater, b. Apr 4, 1883, White Sulphur Springs, Sullivan Co, NY, d. Sept 6, 1950, Athens, buried: Athens Rural Cem Lucy Marie Everett, b. Dec 21, 1882, d.

Thanks Sylvia! That fills out the history somewhat before I go about a "hope to be" final renumbering and draft. Then it's trying to find a reliable printer/binder. By-the way--This is not a money making venture nor do I ever hope to recoup my expenses. It's a lifelong ambition that I'm fulfilling in the twilight years, much as "The Long Groat Line" was but that was not so late in life. I may even attempt a redo of that if I ever get done with the Shufelts. Speaking of Virginia, we meet a great many such people as we try to do our research. I read somewhere on one of the lists where a guy said he was imbedding errors in his GEDCOMs so he could "catch" anyone trying to "Steal" his research! <grin> Just what we need, more fiction than fact on the World Wide trash heap.
