Diane, I read this message with interest <grin>. Although I had mentioned one time to Cyndi that I had a DOUGHERTY ancestor I did not pursue it then. Being in Iowa is what brought it to mind. My maternal grandfather James William WILCOX was born to the union of George Benjamin WILCOX & Rebecca Jane "Jennie" DOUGHERTY and in Sidney Township, Fremont County, Iowa 16 December 1883. By the summer of 1884 they were in Washington Territory. Now George Benjamin & Jennie were married in Illinois and their first child Minnie was born there, they were in Iowa for the birth of my grandfather. Their remaining children were born in Washington Territory and Washington state. Do we have any connection? Antoinette (Tacoma, Washington) [email protected] "Diane K.

Cyndi, I'd like to revisit your Dougherty information. I just realized that a branch of our McCartan family ended up in the same town as your Dougherty family. I don't know of any of our Dougherty's who went there, but we are looking at a joint migration of Dougherty, Savage, McCartan from County Down to Iowa. I also just made contact with a researcher who is from the Dougherty, Iowa families. Our Dougherty's are supposedly connected to them, too. Diane Hettrick [email protected]

Hello All, I am trying to locate a long lost family member. Her birth name was probably Caren Gail Brewer. Her mother, Mildred Catherine Lundquist Brewer married my father's cousin, Dewey Lyle Chapman in 1943. Although they were married in Roswell, New Mexico, the certificate gives her residence as Everett, WA. Dewey was a military pilot who was later shot down and killed in North Korea in 1951. I was told that Dewey adopted Caren. At the time of his death Caren and her mother were living in Everett, WA with an H. Dahlgren. I was also told that Mildred later married a man named Leonard Allen who worked for the Boeing Aircraft Co. Based on a photo taken about 1947 I would guess that Caren was born around 1940. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. John Chapman Austin, Texas

Kristine, Thanks for the information. Could be him. I'll check it out.

I am looking for a Herb BADGERO (not sure of the spelling) who was married to my mother-in-law for a short time after September 1948.

Does any one have access to deaths in Seattle & King Co.? Looking for death of James R. McDonald (b. 1844) probably before 1900 as I couldn't find him on the 1900 census. Roger <<<<<<<<<< Genealogist Work Backwards! <<<<<<<<<<

Hello! The South King County Genealogical Society is proud to have Curt Roselle speak on The Paper Trail of a Military Veteran at our next meeting. The military veteran leaves a paper trail containing data of priceless genealogical and historical value. It includes far more than the familiar service and pension records. The trail can begin before he enters service with draft records and military service academy applications, may continue after his service with pension, state bonus, and soliders home records, and may even follow him to life's end and after with National Cemetery and headstone application records. Curt Roselle will discuss his "paper trail" of records with emphasis on the less familiar records. Curt is a member of various local genealogy societies, and is a regular Wednesday volunteer at the Regional Branch of the National Archives, where he also teaches classes in Military, Land, and Native American records. Date: Saturday, May 19th Time: 9:30 - 10:15 a.m. - Social Hour (come browse our Sales Table, checkout our other tables) 10:15 - Noon - Meeting & Program Place: First Baptist Church of Kent 11430 SE 248th Street Kent, Washington NOTE: We will be meeting in the building to the north of the church this month. Topic: The Paper Trail of a Military Veteran Information: Visit us on the web at http://www.rootsweb.com/~waskcgs If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me.
