My grandfather, Garnet Veryl Louden, and I have been doing our family history for 26 years together. He passed away this past Sunday at the age of 88. I would always check the internet for information on the Louden family for him. His g-g-grandfather was Joseph R. Louden born 1794 in Radnor. We found little information on him but he kept helping me search when he was able. He loved to hear of me talk about this list. He thought that it was the best thing since butter! He appreciated how folks could correspond with each other and have the same interest...finding their roots. It was our passion in life and something that we could do together. With our age difference, I am 38, that was a remarkable thing! He loved it. I wanted to thank all of those that did look ups for me and my grandpa. He appreciated it and I have too. I will never give up looking for his family before him. When I accumulate more information about the Radnor, Loudens I am dedicating all of my genealogy to Chester Co. Pa. Historical Society. It will be a tribute to him. A wonderful caring man who loved his family so much and enjoyed working with me on our history. Don't forget to ask your family about stories and about family. You might regret it one day if you didn't. Sincerely, Amy Davisson-Perry Champaign County Ohio Cable [email protected]
