If you have extra information or corrections to my memorials, please let me know. If you'd like management of your relatives transferred to you, don't hesitate to ask. I'll happily transfer them if they're not related to me.

You may freely copy any information or photos I've posted for your personal non-profit use. The whole purpose of posting them is to help you connect with your family.

My family research names include Kratzer, Kueser, Silkenat, Jung, Hermreck, Monroe, Brandon, Mathes, Caruthers, Dawley, Francis, Czernicek/Cernicek and others, most of whom ended up in Kansas in the mid to late 1800s.

My husband's family includes Bender, Schmitt, Herrman, Pfiefer, Quint, Depperschmidt and Greenwald. Most of them came directly to the German communities in Ellis, Russell and Rush counties, Kansas.

I'm also looking for information on Baldwins in the Osborne/Smith Counties area of Kansas and Greeley, Colorado; Tanner in Riley/Geary counties, Kansas along with familes of the Briggs community in that area; Baldwin, Tanner, Forrest, Meadows and Mathes of Cushing, Oklahoma. And I'm working on a genealogical history of Geneseo, Rice County, Kansas and the surrounding farm area in Rice and Ellsworth counties.
