GERI, thanks. I am kinda going backwards on these SELLERS and you want to go forward. AND I am sending thro SELLERS discussion group and to YOU . IT should be sent thro the ?? message group? (mind blank) and it still comes here also. The families after 1930 are harder to trace without family info. Georgia gave you some ideas to try. WHERE were you BORN? HE was close to that area on that date? ALSO, if he /PAUL SELLERS remarried you may be able to find this marriage. in CALIFORNIA? He was born ca 1913? is he still alive? He probably has a SS number = ? SS death index? OBIT pages sometimes has info on younger families. World WAR 2 is a possibility to check on , if he registered. CA has a USGENWEB page. start there . San Diego and Los Angeles Co were towns Georgia sent info on . OR use town/counties your mom was in, etc. marie, iowa -----Original Message----- From: geri jordan [mailto:blessedmanyx@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2003 2:42 PM To: Marie Sellers-Hollinger Subject: re: (Sellers)Clyde Allen Sellers Marie: Oops! sorry about that - I hit the wrong key! I'm getting goosebumps! If you are a Sellers and from Iowa, is there a chance that you and I could be related somewhere along the line???? My father Paul was born in S.D. but his sister Lillie Belle Sellers was born in Iowa. Thanks for the input to Georgia's information. This is awesome! You two really have me encouraged after all these years of hitting brick walls. ('course I really didn't know how to break those walls down, either) I am now trying to correlate all this information and see where it all fits. Then "I" have a lot if work to do! I am so excited! I may yet find out if I have any siblings or other relatives still living on my father's side! Thanks bunches!

I don't want to go off on a tangent and get things confused, but the mention of Sellers in South Dakota and in Iowa caught my attention. My Great Great Grandparents, Jerome Howard Brown Sellers (14 Nov. 1825 - 27 Feb. 1910) and Margaret R. Bell (2 Nov. 1832 - 17 June 1907) were both born in Augusta County, Virginia and had 14 children. Three of the children left Virginia and moved to the midwest. Samuel Howard Sellers (17 Feb. 1865 - 2 Aug. 1940) married (1) Clara M. Bruce and (2) Fannie Gulton and lived in South Dakota. Samuel and Clara had 6 children that settled in Mt. Vernon, Madison, Hot Springs, and Yankton, South Dakota and Clarenson, Illinois. John Newton Sellers (13 Jan. 1869 - 7 Aug. 1945) married Gertrude Lowell and lived in Iowa. John and Gertrude had at least two children, and they settled in and around Emmettsburg, Iowa. William Arthur Sellers (6 Mar. 1870 - Feb. 1935) married Ida Harrell. I don't have a record of any children nor where exactly that William Arthur Sellers and Ida Harrell settled in Iowa. Travelling in 1981 with my grandfather Whitfield T. Sellers, who's father George W. Sellers was a brother to the three sons listed above, I had the pleasure of meeting most of the offspring of these sons. I'd love to hear from anyone who might be a descendant of these sons. I have quite a bit of info on the offspring of these sons of Jerome H.B. and Margaret R. Bell Sellers but not much info on the final resting place of the sons nor really anything about their life.
