Dear Cuz's,     Today at 3:07, Cuz Vi's husband David Alban e-mailed me and asked that I forward on the sad news that Vi passed away last night, November 24, 2010 with David and Vi's daughter Diane at her side.      I flew back from Vi's last night during that snow storm. I flew/drove up there Sunday after receiving David's e-mail that she was slipping fast. I had a decision to make, go now and hope that Vi would be able to know I was there, or wait. I decided that I needed to go and see Vi, and tell her how much she meant to me.     I left Sunday morning and flew/drove to Vi and David's home. No easy way to get there from Dallas, I flew from Dallas to Minneapolis, MN, rented a car and drove the 4 hours to Grand Rapids, MN, I arrived there around 8:30 PM Sunday night.    Monday, I went out to Vi & David's. Vi's daughter Diane was there with David and Vi. David said that Vi had not really come up from the semi unconscious state since she arrived home Saturday night.   I went over and told her I was there, and she opened her eyes and said my name and that she couldn't believe I came, she gave me a hug and kiss. She then drifted in an out, and on the brief times when she came to the surface, I showed her the Newspaper from the Philly Reunion, and the article in the Caerwys Chronicle that Mayor Phillip sent me about his trip to see us. I also told her that everyone was sending their love and prayers to her and David. I left as David was busy with all the arrangements with hospice and nurses, as they were trying to figure out their schedules.    I went back out Monday afternoon, and visited again, but Vi wasn't able to respond more than a few words and just a nodding of her head.   Tuesday, when I went out she did no more than just nod her head, I choose to believe she heard me as I told her my goodbyes.    David asked me to go through her laptop for genealogy and also allowed me to go through her regular computer for genealogy. I knew she had worked on the new sourced book we are working on, and I wanted to be sure her part was carried forward, even if I had to finish it. I want her "words" to be there and her name taken forward. I was able to find it on her regular computer and brought it home with me.    I talked to David and made sure that he and Vi's son John know that they welcome to come and continue to be part of the WGS, they are part of the family. David reads the WGS e-mails, so he will be able to keep track of the group and read your e-mails.    Long trip, but one of the heart. Vi and I connected via e-mail in November of 1996, Internet was fairly new.. E-mail was first started in 1995, with internet coming to be public around 1993-1994, so this was a new thing, but it sure was a great way for us to exchange genealogy.    Vi and I would exchange research e-mails several times a day, then a couple years later Vi was coming to Oklahoma City, so Queenie and I decided we would meet her there, and we had our first Unofficial WGS reunion 1997, The next year we invited a few more, and had our second Unofficial WGS reunion 1998, Terry Hardgrave, Terry's niece Diane, Joe Downs and Vi's cousin Donna joined us. We then decided to do it for real and had the First "All invited" WGS Reunion in Philadelphia in 1999.    When we went to Wales in 2006, I was invited to stay at the Bron Fadog where Dr. Thomas Wynne was born, Vi shared my room at the Bron Fadog, oh the memories we have made!!! The rest is history as we just celebrated our 12th Annual WGS Reunion. Vi and I shared room at the WGS reunions from Philadelphia 1999 until 2007 in Lewes, Delaware, when Vi's husband David came for the first time.    I will truly miss our e-mails, phone calls and fun. I am so glad that she was able to get her uncle to do a Y-DNA test this year and put it to rest that she may have to be "Adopted", even though we have had the paper trail to prove it for years. It was a long trip, but one I am glad I was able to do.    David, you and yours are in my prayers and thoughts through the tough days a head, know your loved. Loosing Vi is hard on my heart, but I know she is now able to go an ask those genealogy questions we haven't been able to in this life. If there is anything I can do you know all you have to do is call, I am there.

Dear Cuz Susan, You said you knew someone that "He mentioned that his wife is descended from a Howard Wynn, Reading/Berks County PA, married to Sally (possibly Sarah?) McNeil, during latter half of 1800s and early 1900s." Well there is a "Howard" but he is really William Howard Wynn, and is SISTER is Sallie McNeil, and they show up in the 1930 Census with her children. so I started digging around... and I found that he is the child of Howard B. Wynn and Emma. William Howard Wynn never married. And it shows his nephew to have done his military burial. This is as far back as I could get with his dad Howard B Wynn... and I got stuck in 1880, when it shows him with his mother and STEP father..... But there are TWO William Eck's one from PA and one from Germany and both married to a Catherine or Katherine "Katie"..... at that point I decided to go shopping for Christmas balls for my new Christmas tree.. needed some cheer today.... So here you go.... hope it helps!! 1880 US Census, District 44, Reading, Berks Cty., PA Page 25 A, Supervisors Dist No 3, Enumeration Dist No 44 Enumerated 7th day of June 1880 111 Lemon St., 232/244 Eck, William W M 37 Head M Laborer PA PA PA Eck, Catherine W F 35 Wife Keeping House PA PA PA Winn Howard W M 18 Step-Son S Laborer PA PA PA 1895 pg 775 Boyd's Directory of Reading, Pennsylvania, 1895-1897 US City Directories: Wynn Edward P elk P & R h 820 Franklin Wynn Elizabeth wid William, h 820 Franklin Wynn Henry A asst trainmaster P & R h 937 Franklin Wynn Howard B laborer h rear 438 Water Wynn James Laborer h 200 Spruce Wynn Joseph M agt h 635 Willow Wynn Owen foreman h 325 Elm Wynn Samuel tinsmith h 415 Washington Wynn Samuel B laborer h 731 Church Wynn Samuel H tinsmith h 415 Washington Wynn Samuel L laborer h 736 Bingaman pg 776 Wynn Stephen Laborer h 635 Willow Wynn William H h 731 Church Wynn William h Jr laborer h 731 Chruch Wynne Charles P laborer h 846 Muhlenberg Wynne Elmer J driver h 431 S. 7th 1900 US Census, District 137, North Lebanon, Lebanon, PA Enumerated 12th, June 1900 Emeration Dist No 137, Supervisors Dist No 9, Sheet 12A, 226/236 Wynn, Howard Head W M Nov. 1862 37 M 17 PA PA PA Laborer Rolling Mill Wynn Emma Wife W F Jan 1863 37 M 17 6/4 PA PA PA Wynn Annie Daughter W F Sept 1894 15 S PA PA PA Wynn Sallie Daughter W F Mar. 1888 11 S PA PA PA Wynn William Son W M May 1892 8 S PA PA PA Wynn Robert Son W M Aug 1894 5 PA PA PA 1901 pg 874 Boyd's Directory of Reading, Pennsylvania, 1898-1901 US City Directories: Wynn Charles H Laborer h 731 Church Wynn Edward P foreman P & R h 821 N.

He mentioned that his wife is descended from a Howard Wynn, Reading/Berks County PA, married to Sally (possibly Sarah?) McNeil, during latter half of 1800s and early 1900s. Does that ring a bell with anybody? I looked on the family tree chart and didn't spot those names, but could certainly have missed them. Thanks for any input. Take care, Cuz'n Susan

David and cousins-- We truly have lost not only a cousin, but a dear friend and a tenacious genealogist as well. I was one of the few remaining that attended the 1998 reunion in Oklahoma City that Becky mentioned. And since we had a pretty small group, all of us got to know each other real well quickly. I have wonderful memories of Vi and all the fun time we had during the reunions......she always roomed with Becky, and that was where the action was! I am sure we all agree that we will miss Vi terribly, but that she is also in a better place, free of pain and life's infirmities. And as Becky has said, she and Queenie also now know all of the Wynne secrets we are still trying to find out. David, our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family, and Vi will be on our minds this holiday season............God Bless you and the family! Prince Terry of the West -----Original Message----- From: Rebecca Thill <rebeccathill@yahoo.com> To: wynne-genealogy-society@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, Nov 25, 2010 2:25 pm Subject: [WGS] Vi Grooms-Alban Passing... Dear Cuz's, Today at 3:07, Cuz Vi's husband David Alban e-mailed me and asked that I forward on the sad news that Vi passed away last night, November 24, 2010 with David and Vi's daughter Diane at her side. I flew back from Vi's last night during that snow storm. I flew/drove up there Sunday after receiving David's e-mail that she was slipping fast. I had a decision to make, go now and hope that Vi would be able to know I was there, or wait. I decided that I needed to go and see Vi, and tell her how much she meant to me. I left Sunday morning and flew/drove to Vi and David's home. No easy way to get there from Dallas, I flew from Dallas to Minneapolis, MN, rented a car and drove the 4 hours to Grand Rapids, MN, I arrived there around 8:30 PM Sunday night. Monday, I went out to Vi & David's. Vi's daughter Diane was there with David and Vi. David said that Vi had not really come up from the semi unconscious state since she arrived home Saturday night. I went over and told her I was there, and she opened her eyes and said my name and that she couldn't believe I came, she gave me a hug and kiss. She then drifted in an out, and on the brief times when she came to the surface, I showed her the Newspaper from the Philly Reunion, and the article in the Caerwys Chronicle that Mayor Phillip sent me about his trip to see us. I also told her that everyone was sending their love and prayers to her and David. I left as David was busy with all the arrangements with hospice and nurses, as they were trying to figure out their schedules. I went back out Monday afternoon, and visited again, but Vi wasn't able to respond more than a few words and just a nodding of her head. Tuesday, when I went out she did no more than just nod her head, I choose to believe she heard me as I told her my goodbyes. David asked me to go through her laptop for genealogy and also allowed me to go through her regular computer for genealogy. I knew she had worked on the new sourced book we are working on, and I wanted to be sure her part was carried forward, even if I had to finish it. I want her "words" to be there and her name taken forward. I was able to find it on her regular computer and brought it home with me. I talked to David and made sure that he and Vi's son John know that they welcome to come and continue to be part of the WGS, they are part of the family. David reads the WGS e-mails, so he will be able to keep track of the group and read your e-mails. Long trip, but one of the heart. Vi and I connected via e-mail in November of 1996, Internet was fairly new.. E-mail was first started in 1995, with internet coming to be public around 1993-1994, so this was a new thing, but it sure was a great way for us to exchange genealogy. Vi and I would exchange research e-mails several times a day, then a couple years later Vi was coming to Oklahoma City, so Queenie and I decided we would meet her there, and we had our first Unofficial WGS reunion 1997, The next year we invited a few more, and had our second Unofficial WGS reunion 1998, Terry Hardgrave, Terry's niece Diane, Joe Downs and Vi's cousin Donna joined us. We then decided to do it for real and had the First "All invited" WGS Reunion in Philadelphia in 1999. When we went to Wales in 2006, I was invited to stay at the Bron Fadog where Dr. Thomas Wynne was born, Vi shared my room at the Bron Fadog, oh the memories we have made!!! The rest is history as we just celebrated our 12th Annual WGS Reunion. Vi and I shared room at the WGS reunions from Philadelphia 1999 until 2007 in Lewes, Delaware, when Vi's husband David came for the first time. I will truly miss our e-mails, phone calls and fun. I am so glad that she was able to get her uncle to do a Y-DNA test this year and put it to rest that she may have to be "Adopted", even though we have had the paper trail to prove it for years. It was a long trip, but one I am glad I was able to do. David, you and yours are in my prayers and thoughts through the tough days a head, know your loved. Loosing Vi is hard on my heart, but I know she is now able to go an ask those genealogy questions we haven't been able to in this life. If there is anything I can do you know all you have to do is call, I am there.

Dear Cuz's, Today at 3:07, Cuz Vi's husband David Alban e-mailed me and asked that I forward on the sad news that Vi passed away last night, November 24, 2010 with David and Vi's daughter Diane at her side. I flew back from Vi's last night during that snow storm. I flew/drove up there Sunday after receiving David's e-mail that she was slipping fast. I had a decision to make, go now and hope that Vi would be able to know I was there, or wait. I decided that I needed to go and see Vi, and tell her how much she meant to me. I left Sunday morning and flew/drove to Vi and David's home. No easy way to get there from Dallas, I flew from Dallas to Minneapolis, MN, rented a car and drove the 4 hours to Grand Rapids, MN, I arrived there around 8:30 PM Sunday night. Monday, I went out to Vi & David's. Vi's daughter Diane was there with David and Vi. David said that Vi had not really come up from the semi unconscious state since she arrived home Saturday night. I went over and told her I was there, and she opened her eyes and said my name and that she couldn't believe I came, she gave me a hug and kiss. She then drifted in an out, and on the brief times when she came to the surface, I showed her the Newspaper from the Philly Reunion, and the article in the Caerwys Chronicle that Mayor Phillip sent me about his trip to see us. I also told her that everyone was sending their love and prayers to her and David. I left as David was busy with all the arrangements with hospice and nurses, as they were trying to figure out their schedules. I went back out Monday afternoon, and visited again, but Vi wasn't able to respond more than a few words and just a nodding of her head. Tuesday, when I went out she did no more than just nod her head, I choose to believe she heard me as I told her my goodbyes. David asked me to go through her laptop for genealogy and also allowed me to go through her regular computer for genealogy. I knew she had worked on the new sourced book we are working on, and I wanted to be sure her part was carried forward, even if I had to finish it. I want her "words" to be there and her name taken forward. I was able to find it on her regular computer and brought it home with me. I talked to David and made sure that he and Vi's son John know that they welcome to come and continue to be part of the WGS, they are part of the family. David reads the WGS e-mails, so he will be able to keep track of the group and read your e-mails. Long trip, but one of the heart. Vi and I connected via e-mail in November of 1996, Internet was fairly new.. E-mail was first started in 1995, with internet coming to be public around 1993-1994, so this was a new thing, but it sure was a great way for us to exchange genealogy. Vi and I would exchange research e-mails several times a day, then a couple years later Vi was coming to Oklahoma City, so Queenie and I decided we would meet her there, and we had our first Unofficial WGS reunion 1997, The next year we invited a few more, and had our second Unofficial WGS reunion 1998, Terry Hardgrave, Terry's niece Diane, Joe Downs and Vi's cousin Donna joined us. We then decided to do it for real and had the First "All invited" WGS Reunion in Philadelphia in 1999. When we went to Wales in 2006, I was invited to stay at the Bron Fadog where Dr. Thomas Wynne was born, Vi shared my room at the Bron Fadog, oh the memories we have made!!! The rest is history as we just celebrated our 12th Annual WGS Reunion. Vi and I shared room at the WGS reunions from Philadelphia 1999 until 2007 in Lewes, Delaware, when Vi's husband David came for the first time. I will truly miss our e-mails, phone calls and fun. I am so glad that she was able to get her uncle to do a Y-DNA test this year and put it to rest that she may have to be "Adopted", even though we have had the paper trail to prove it for years. It was a long trip, but one I am glad I was able to do. David, you and yours are in my prayers and thoughts through the tough days a head, know your loved. Loosing Vi is hard on my heart, but I know she is now able to go an ask those genealogy questions we haven't been able to in this life. If there is anything I can do you know all you have to do is call, I am there.
