I have the address to Muskogee Gen Soc......will have to dig it out........but meanwhile wanted to make sure everyone understood that each and every genealogical society that I have ever contacted have always been VERY nice and helped all they could. I usually wrote first and enclosed a couple dollars or a small check and always got a thank you note. I usually sent cash. Also, when you write, concentrate on one fam at a time. If you send too much it then becomes "unreasonable" and they might hesitate. I have usually always written..........sometimes I would form a "relationship" with a person and then I would call the gen soc and ask for her/him and talk personally but usually written correspondence is fine. Always be ever so thankful.....course we all know that but thought would mention it. I have had experience with gen soc all over and always ....except for 2 times......had wonderful experience. Even if they didnt have anything they wrote a very nice letter and it was appreciated because they often had a new path for me to take. Good Luck........sorry to ramble.

DearJennie, Somehow the Spears Family in Arkansas fits into our family,only I'm not sure exactly how. My family names are Hughes, Clark,Whaley,Middleton,and Wagoner.

That is a great idea...do you have an address for the Muskogee Genealogical Sociey? Is the town small enough that I could just send it without a street address? Thanks for the info. Marty

Muskogee County Genealogical Society does not have a phone#. Their address is the same as the Muskogee Public Library: 801 W. Okmulgee, Muskogee, OK 74401. You need to send requests by mail. Or you can email the Genealogy/Local History Librarian at [email protected] If you send an email with exactly what it is you need, they will tell you the cost. Have you tried Random Acts of Genealogical Kindess(RAOGK) There are Muskogee people listed that will do look ups for the cost of copies and postage. http://raogk.rootsweb.com/ By the way the early Muskogee city directories are on microfilm, 1932 on are in paper form. Sue in Muskogee

I am doing research on this family. I have info on this family. But, I have that Samuel Pleaseant Spears was born Feb. 8, 1855 in Yardell, Newton county, Ark. I also have info on his parents and grandparents. Plus I have info on other Descendants. Please contact me at my e-mail. Thank you!

forgot to mention: Samuel Spears m#2 Martha Steele lived on the Spears family farm at the foot of Beaver Mountain. Martha d 18 oct 1918. Ezie m. John William Roberts.

Ezie Mary Adeline Elizabeth Jane Spears b. 1 apr 1890 Tahlequah, Cherokee Co, I.T.; d. 24 nov 1970 Drumright Memorial Hospital, Drumright, OK; bur Haskell Cemetery, Muskogee Co, OK. Childhood lived in Hoyt, OK; attended school at Rock Branch. Church affiliation Church of Christ. Parents of Ezie: Samuel Pleasant Spears b. 8 feb 1857 Newton Co, AR; d. 25 apr 1917; bur Hoyt, OK.............Sarah Elizabeth Ramsey b. 23 jun 1859 Newton Co, AR; d. 12 aug 1896 bur Sand Hill Cem, Newton Co, AR. This is for anyone who can use it.

For Muskogee directories........have you tried writing or calling the Muskogee Genealogical Society? They would have them and could tell you what you need to know. Have done it in the past. When I would write I would include $2.00 or $3.00 just as a "thanks" in advance. They are very nice. Have contacted them in a while, but know in the past they have been as helpful as possible. That actually applies to any county genealogical society....for future reference to all.

Kathy, If you do find the City Directories at the genealogy library in San Francisco, would you be kind enough to look up a name for me. I'm trying to determine when and for how long my grandfather was living in Muskogee. The dates would be between 1909-1920. The name is Dr. Jacob Burton Wachtel, MD. I know that he moved to Oklahoma City at a later date so am trying to fill in the middle part. Any help you might provide would be greatly appreciated. Marty Santa Maria, CA

Thank you so much. I found out that they did have city directories during the years I'm looking for. Now I need to find somewhere that has them. There's a genealogy library in San Francisco (90 min from here) that might have them. Thanks again, Kathy
