Seeking information on this couple. I believe this Edward Pennington is somehow connected to the Pennington Family I am researching. According to an obit I found -- Robert Pennington born 1925 to Edward Pennington and Cecila Smith in Pendleton County, WV. He has a brother Ben and sisters Marval, Wiley, Vernie and Ann. Does this look familiar to anyone? Thanks Debbie

Does anyone have any suggestions for me for further pursuit of my errant WOLFORD family? Unpublished, unfilmed Church records, for example? I've tried asking via USGenweb site, through the Wolford surname list, and through this list, as well as looking through various microfilmed LDS records. I would dearly love to find a record of my gr-grandfather's birth. He was Calvin WOLFORD, born, according the family, in Oct, 1858, in Dry Fork. I realize it's possible that his birth was never recorded anywhere, but I'm hoping there are some untapped (by me) resources I could pursue. I'm even open to (gasp), writing a letter, finding an envelope and a stamp, and mailing a request! (How desperate can one get??) I'm even more curious about his father. Calvin's marriage application gives the man's name as John. John was not with the family in the 1860 census (Cadiz, Harrison Co, OH). Family lore is that John died/decamped by then. No one knows what happened to him. Would there be a source to find death records? Was there a newspaper which might have reported a sensational death between 1858 and 1860? A non-sensational death? (Not nearly as much fun!) There seem to be some real knowledgeable researchers on this list. I appreciate any help/pointers you could give me. Dawn Amos

Hello Cindy, I was wondering if you would be willing to look up some for me too if you have the time? Please e-mail me directly and I will forward the names. Thank you, Faith gene@netnet.net

Seeking information on Reuben Kisner (maybe Kesner) married Elizabeth Simpson. They had a son Hanson Friend Kisner who married Priscilla Pennington about 1889. Sorry I don't have much to go on. Does this look familiar to anyone? I have hit a road block with this family. Any leads or information will be appreciated. Debbie

Hi cindy I would greatly appreciate it. We have a genealogy library here that have the census, but I have a 10 yr old and 3 month old and I just can't seem to find the time to go there and spend hours looking through them, if you know what I mean. ok here is what I am looking for. CHAMP - Pearl, David, Belle (any in the household) I have found them once before but at the itme was not able to copy it, I belive Mineral Co, Elk Garden or Elk District. Also the latter years maybe Tucker or Randolph Co. NAZELROD- Jonah, I am not sure where to look, myabe starting with Mineral co as I only have a name for him. SUDER - The name looks like Audrea. In 1912 they were in Thomas West Viriginia and I believe that is Tucker Co. FORZETTING- Anyone in this family not exaclty sure as to where to look for this one, I know they were in Tucker and Ranadolph counties and possibly Mineral Co. I know a Franz FORZETTING came here from Austria in 1912 to stay with his Uncle Audrea Suder. Thank you so much.

Is there maybe a Summerfield researcher who could help with the family of Thomas Summerfield & Anna Raines? I have pieced together this scenario, but some of the pieces don't seem to fit together quite right. Does this look right so far?

Seeking information on the children of Martin V. Bonner and Bell Bright. Martin VanBuren Bonner lived with Rosa Belle Bright after the death of Eliza Jane George and fathered several children with her. She gave them all her maiden name of Bright that she took back after her divorce from her first husband Charles Mace Davis. Can anyone help me with the children of Martin V. Bonner and Bell Bright? Thanks Debbie

Well according to my dad he and his other siblings were raised by the same foster parents. The births days for them are ranging between 1919-1935, dad was the baby and he left right after he graduated on 1945 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cindy" <cindysue@upsndowns.org> To: <WVRANDOL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 21, 2002 8:16 AM Subject: Re: [WVRANDOL-L] foster records > Kim, > > What time period are you looking for? > > Cindy > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Kim Plunkett" <gakgen@cox.net> > To: <WVRANDOL-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Monday, October 21, 2002 7:01 AM > Subject: [WVRANDOL-L] foster records > > > > I know this may be a long shot, but do they keep records of children who > were raised in foster homes and if so, does anyone know where they keep them > and if they can be obtained. > > > > THanks > > Kim > > > > > > ==== WVRANDOL Mailing List ==== > > Check out the Mid-Atlantic Roots Network at: > > http://midatlantic.rootsweb.com/ > > > > > > ============================== > > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, > go to: > > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > > > > > > > > ==== WVRANDOL Mailing List ==== > Check out the Mid-Atlantic Roots Network at: > http://midatlantic.rootsweb.com/ > > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 >
