Lesley, Thank you so much. I just read this e-mail to my Grandfather and he said, "Yep, that's it, I remember my Uncle Robert did work for the power company." I am going to keep doing some researching. I have already found quite a bit on John Overton Shockey and Darius Shockey and thier families. If you need anything from me just let me know. I have quite a bit on Virginia Shockey (Luchenburg) and her family, which was once Harry Paul's wife. I have a couple generations of Luchenburg's. Thanks again!

Hello Kristin, We would sure appreciate any information that you can provide on any of the Shockey family, their spouses, children and even ancestors of spouses. The more information that we can add to the master Shockey database, the easier it is to help others when they post queries like your original posting. It might be best to send a GEDCOM to me directly at <LShockey@citynet.net> Those of us working on the computerized database for the Shockey family try to keep each other updated. Currently the database only shows a marriage for one of Harry Paul's brothers. For R.C. we show a wife, one child and five grandchildren. Anything that you can add such as birth dates, marriage events and dates, the children and their birth dates, etc would be greatly appreciated. When helping others we try to avoid posting birth dates and other vital information on any living person. We do try to keep the information updated as much as possible in the database and try to always show in the database the person or source of the information. This permits us to point new researchers to others researching on the same family lines. Les At 08:20 PM 07/29/2002 -0400, you wrote: >Thank you so much.
