I wonder about this being true. There was some information on CNN last night about the Congressmen and Senators using Email to answer messages that they are receiving from the public. They were talking about how fast people are getting responses to the messages they are sending to Washington D. C. If it is true, perhaps it could be stopped by writing to our Congressmen and Senators.

About a year ago, my great great aunt Arrie Marie Waldrep Dean Suggs died. Fortunately a month before I found out some interesting family information. She told of a Cousin of hers that was a Senator of Oklahoma. I am hoping someone on this list is familiar with him. Senator Earl Waldrep... may have served in Late 1890's to early 1900-1930.....father was a "Kumpy" Waldrep..I am assuming Kumpy to be a nickname....Waldrep may also be spelled with a "o or u" before the ending p His father, Kumpy moved from Alabama to Shoney, OK where he ran a General Merchandise store. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I have much information on the ancestors of the Waldrep family and will be willing to share any information on them. Many Thanks, Amanda Hester Baltz ahamanda@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Forwarded with permission...Can anyone on the OK List help her? Thanks ...Nelda Hi, I am trying to get info on John Jacob Bunstine. It is said his father was George, but I have only one son listed for George and Rosena Bunstine/Bonstein, his name was William. Info I received from Northampton Historical Society shows that Johann John Bunstine/Bonstein had a son named John Jacob Bunstine and that he was reared by a Mrs. Boorem/Borum in Oklahoma. It shows also that John Jacob had a child born about 1847 with intial's J. J or S. Bunstine. I think maybe that Johann is the father of John Jacob, Johann John was married to Susannah Billheimer. It shows on familysearch that John Jacob was born in Easton, PA. Info would be greatly appreciated.
