    3. Nancy, Kathy, I don't know where the name Sickles in my research came from but I do know that all the people I worked with on the research had the same, all but Marguerite. I've looked up the addresses of the researchers for you, if you want to get in touch with them. While doing this, I came across an entire manila envelope from Charlotte with research on the Sickles name. Charlotte never sent a couple of pages, she sent from 20 to 50 at one time and they are all documented where she found the information. She is likely, to be the one to get in contact with and she did a lot of research on the very early Surnames married into the Roll Family. Charlotte's Genealogy Room was wall-to-wall bookcases and filled from ceiling to floor. I doubt that she ever had to leave home to do her research. This was before we had the internet. Mrs. Justin L. (Charlotte) Giltner 1110 South Renaud Road Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan 48236 Evelyn's address is from memory. I've always had envelopes stuck everywhere in my notebooks but it has been years since I've worked on the Genealogy, I must have recorded everything and put the envelopes away. Evelyn's husband passed away a few years before I put the genealogy aside for awhile, and it was such an impact that the genealogy work got ahead of her. Her Roll Connection was that her sister married a Roll and she was doing the research for her niece and nephew. She also had a copy of Isaac Clifford Roll and Roland H. Roll records. Both of these men warned of mistakes in Littell's book. It was a good place to start but a lot was missing and, as we all do, make a lot of mistakes. Mrs. Evelyn L. Norweb 3563 Hopper Hill Road Cincinnati, Ohio Sorry, I don't remember the zip. Janis was into computers and I haven't heard from her for several years and I have tried to find her on the internet but failed. She might have moved since I last heard from her but Lynn would know if she has. Jim got hurt on the job and they had planned to move into a smaller place. She was more into getting the updated information on the families as Lynn and I were. Janis was the one to do the "Allies" Index. It is what you all call the Surname Index now and I use it more than the Male and Female Indexes. When I get a letter or call, I look for the wife's maiden name and it has proven to be the greatest help to find information. The address I have for her: Mr. & Mrs. James Patrick (Janis (Roll)) Holland 8725 - 29th Northwest Seattle, Washington - 98117 The last of the addresses is for Lynn and I think I have sent it before to Kathy. Lynn was mainly the reason for the record swap, so we could talk pages instead of a name who was a child of whoever and trying to keep everything straight. She was also the means of the Cont. from Page # in my records because we could reference it forward or backward. Lynn and I carried our notebooks with us and we never failed to spread them out on a dining room table and talk to the wee hours of the morning while everyone else went to bed and left us alone. We loved the stories best. Mrs. T. Lynn (Roll) Kennedy 1835 Dean Street Huntington, Indiana - 46750 Marguerite had a summer home in Michigan and she always let us know when she was leaving Arizona and she took a lot of her records with her. She had a summer home on the shores of Lake Michigan while Charlotte lived on the shores of Lake Erie. After the poisoning by the maid, Charlotte moved into the Woods so she wouldn't have to have a full time maid and could manage with a woman coming in a few times a week to help her out. The poison was in small doses until the final and lethal dose that killed her husband and changed her entire life. Charlotte & Evelyn were Certified Genealogist and researched a lot of the very early records as did Marguerite but I think Margurerite was a family genealogist as Lynn, Janis and I were. Charlotte was a real stickler for documentation but Evelyn was more like the rest of us, we wouldn't turn down information just because we didn't have it documented. I don't think that Marguerite or Charlotte did either because we all had the same records and a lot of ours was from Family Bibles or just memories of family records. Lynn, Janis and I have strolled through more cemeteries than we ever believed that we would be in, made dear friends of court house and library employees and as for the mail, we have made contact with, at least, one member of the Roll Family in the U.S. I sent out so many direct genealogies that I clipped a couple of dollars to a manila envelope and the mailman would weigh it and leave me the change. I hope you find the documentation this time, Nancy. I believe that Charlotte will clear this up for all of us. I don't know where Marguerite found the Srickhausen name but when she sent the information, it wasn't Stickhausen or Srickhauser name, it was Stickland. I sent a copy of it to the others, Lynn, Evelyn, Charlotte & Janis and they all agreed, until it was documented proof, the Sickles name would not be changed. I was not the main researcher, all these people knew each other and Charlotte mentioned many times of the letters from Marguerite Roll and the research. I guess I was the main person on the record swap but not with the documentation. Each person had their own gift to give with Janis and her Allies Index and the record swap with Evelyn and Charlotte and Marguerite with thier questions and research on the very early Family and Lynn, Janis and I doing the updated information. If you find documentation, Nancy, I will record it so it will not be questioned again. I could probably help you now but it would consist of rumaging through mounds of manila envelopes and I just don't have the time nor the energy. I hope someday to give you all the research so you can some of the answer the questions that I have to answer now. I depend on Betty to send out the Penn. Family records and with all the questions from Audrey, I hope that someday, she will help Betty and do the N.J. Family records. I am glad for Bill for putting it all together on the Internet and Nancy for getting us all together. I bet you didn't know that, did you Audrey, that I would hope that you would help Betty someday. I just dearly, love Ed, for strolling through the Cemeteries as we have in our research, and Kathy for being so firm in her work. I have a couple of snail mail genealogies to send out now and I regret that you don't have this so I can just write to you and ask you to send this out to someone. I am learning to depend on Betty to do what I should be doing. I have carried on so, and all you asked about was the Sickles name, Nancy, When I get into Genealogy, I tend to be long winded. I know this is being Archived but I think these addresses should be recorded. I didn't mean for my comments to be recorded but these other researcheres names and addresses should be. We all have our conrtribution to make. With Love to you all. Martha
