My Grandmother states in all the census records and also on her death certt. she was born in Kansas. What county or city I do not know. She was born in 1832 if the date is correct. Her mother and father were George W. West and Caroline M. Harless West. I believe they were traveling to Texas, as each of their children were born in a different state, and their last one was born in Texas where he purchased land in Texas and stayed until their deaths. Is there any way Kansas might have birth records going back that far? If anyone knows of a place I might be able to locate them would you please let me know, I would appreciate it. wrak

Marie, More. Obituaries in the Emporia Gazette list the following two possibilities for Mr. & Mrs. Brown: Brown, E. -- 1 May 1902 Brown, Laura Ann nee Fronk, Mrs. Edgar W. -- 6 Aug 1945 http://www.rootsweb.com/~ksfhgslc/obitbrbu.html If interested, you could order those two obituaries and see what additional info they provide.

I'm very sad to hear of Stan's passing. I didn't have occasion to converse with him, but did read his various postings and am sure he will be greatly missed. Condolences to his family.

I had no luck with it, Kathy, when I triedto trace the line in Ireland. All my line said was that they went there. There is some interesting information about Scotland, but not a great deal about Ireland.

My condolences to Stan's family, he will be surely missed. So enjoyed reading his emails. Josephine Hall email ajh43@msn.com The Hall's of North Eastern Texas http://www.geocities.com/ajh1943/index.html

I am so sorry to hear that Stan passed away. I enjoyed reading his e-mails on our Riddle family and also his hunt for the Hills line, especially the Hills family that traveled to Oregon with a Riddle accompanying them. My prayers and sympathy are with his family. God Bless. Dream Back the Buffalo, Sing Back the Swan Carolyn Condray-Merritt gggranddaughter of Terry Riddle ggggranddaughter of James R. Riddle
