Spokane has a baseball team, but I don't remember the name of it. I remember that a jeweler in town sponsored it. His name was Oscar Leavitt, I believe. The team bus going over the Cascades crashed at on point, and killed several of the players. That probably was in the late "30s and I am sure you can find articles in the newspapers in Spokane (on microfilm) as I recall "headlines" in the papers. Lefty may have been on that bus. Check it out.

Surnames: Kukler Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3BC.2ACE/1770.1 Message Board Post: I believe Edward John Kukler to be my biological Father. Born Jan 10 1908 South Lyon, Pa., died in 1973 Spokane, Wa. Edwards parents were Mary (nee Wojtowicz) and Gust Kukler. Edwards first wife was Eleanor nee: Szalanski, wed in 1928 divorced in 1928. I have marriage and divorce papers. There was a son Donald Edward born between 1930 and 1933. (Donald is not listed on the 1930 Federal census) Second marriage in 1946 to my Mother Lucille Kukulka nee: Adamczyk resulted in divorce later that same year. If you have any information to share I would appreciate it very much. I never had a relationship with my Father and it is very difficult to track down family history. My family recalls 2 sisters Frances and Celia. Celia had twins sons Miles and Mark. I believe Edward settled in Spokane somtime after 1946 and may have been married to Alice Kukler.

I think it is wonderful that so many took my "just a hint "post and put it to good use, and for those of you that decided to volunteer with no help from me... good for you!!! I have had so much feedback on that post that I decided to do a PS and add a few more tips on how to volunteer. Hope they help!!! Most counties in the USA have towns that aren't quite ghost towns, but they are so small that most people call them "a place you'll miss if ya blink"... go visit one of those really small towns and see if they have a city hall(you'll be surprised at how many do!) that has really old records that have been forgotten and post them to your county sites... Also, some of the towns may have been alot larger in the past and still have a post office, and may have postal employee records from way back when... If you have a company in your town that has existed for 50 years or more, see if they have any old records such as dated employee lists that they would like to donate for transcription...(tell them it keeps the company name out there , too, at a county and state level...)Hospitals, Schools, Law firms, any company really, might like to do this as a public service...it shows community commitment and longevity another thing you can do in some places...look for MOM and POP/ Family- type businesses that have been around a long time, or those now gone but remembered and look for old records pertaining to them and do a bio on the owners.... post to the appropriate county( this is one I am working on right now and I think it is turning out to be a great idea...) Find someone from your childhood, that has passed on , someone you respected alot for whatever reason and do an interview with others still living who knew the person also and do a short bio...(I would also remember to pick elderly people that love to remember the past) anyway, that is just a few more ways to volunteer to make your county and state pages 'Pop' with info.... Don't forget... try to read at least one very old obit a week and post it somewhere online...with source, date of publication and location that has copy. good luck to the lists... gloria
