    1. [OKROOTS] 1890 Census
    2. Welch
    3. Hi All, Sorry to be so long in adding to this. I haven't had much free time on my hands lately. I have added 3 pages of the census to the web site. All those who have ask for me to look for certain people for them, I must apologize again. I just don't have the time right now. I have pages 1-61 as listed on the micro film. I haven't had the time to really look at them either. I do not know where the places are located as far as Range and Township but I believe that Trudy has put a platte map on the Marshall County web site that may help to locate them. The URL for Marshall County is http://www.rootsweb.com/~okmarsha/index.html Click on the Township map. The URL for the 1890 census that I am doing is http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/8958 Please use your browser back button to return to previous pages. I haven't set a different button for this yet. Anyone with e-mail only that would like these sent to them, just e-mail me privately. Also please be sure to look through all the pages. Some of the last names are unreadable or I can't make them out and you might recognize them through the first names! Good Luck! Connie

Family members say the name LUSHBOW is Indian and that she was from the Novie tribe. I have been unable to locate any information on her or a tribe called Novie. I have also been told they were living around BROKEN ARROW OK. before 1910. Have been unable to find the surname on any census records.

    3. I am seeking any information about my Great Grandfather Johnnie Franklin Shipley and any Shipley's related to him. He was married to Mabel Coleman (the specific date of their marriage is not known). They had three children; Johnnie Coleman, Tommy and Verda Shipley. We know they were from the Shawnee area in Pottawatomie County. Please send me a message if you have any possible information. Thank You, Shannon Richardson Kyle@pmzinc.com
