------------------------------------------------------------------ FORWARDED MESSAGE - Orig: 9-Oct-98 23:26 Subject: Oldfather geneology ------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello, I am a great-great granddaughter of Elizabeth Oldfather Siler, descended from her daughter Catherine who married William Lawson Short. Most of my Oldfather/Short family live in Illinois in the area where William Lawson Short settled and eventually was buried, however I live in Colorado. I would be happy to exchange information on our branch of the family if there is interest in it, although I do not have extensive information. My family has for many years attended a reunion of the various descendants of William Lawson Short. As a child, I met many of my father's 40+ cousins as these reunions. Most of this generation are now gone, including my father. A few of us, including me and one of my sisters in Illinois have copies of the 1911 geneology, family notes etc. Also when I was a child my family made a trip to your area of Ohio to search for family history and my father met some of his family there. As my father (Ernest Short) died unexpectedly when I was 15 and I was yet not much interested in family history, I don't have much information on his findings. I would be interested in corresponding and exchanging information and can also put you in touch with other Oldfather descendent in Illinois. Regards, Esther Short Walden !^NavFont02F04C70007NGHHKC9BD74
