Bio and Links
Bio Photo Lots of information about our family was on the verge of being lost, so I began researching both my and my husband's extended families plus families from the small towns we both came from.

Family connections expanded. I received much material for the Dare/Twitty/Baker family from Dare researcher M.Doris Provart Gower, who graciously agreed to my sharing with you. Darnell-Hollaway/ Holloway family got help from Evah Hollaway Lager Picard, Grace Norris Hollaway and Lee Ann Hollaway Bailleu.

The Zahn/Brand/Schneider Kukuck & Voigt family was assisted by Tali Temple Barbara, Mary Farley Cummins and David Peipho. The Steinberg/ Koerner family has research from cousins Don & Janet Dickason, Lois Steinberg Adams and Ruth Koerner McCabe.

The extended Martin/Snelling/Shupe family come from my interviews with family members and the research of Terry Harper of Albion, IL, a fellow family member.

The Witt/Hoffman/Franks family has material from Mary Ann Franks O'Neill, Eleanor Hensen Kerber and the website of John Franks.

The Gerken-Helmers (Meyer/Martens, Brandt) family is mostly mine with help of cousins Mary Ann Hill and Eunice Martens Blissard.

Other individuals added information for their extended family. Most of them are credited in their additions. St. John's Lutheran church of Anchor, IL has a public website which gave much data for my great-grandfather and those families who lived near my childhood home.

Now I can share what I've found with others and get even more accurate data. I have used the best information I have, but will gladly correct errors and add or subtract material or transfer memorials if requested by someone closer.

Happy family researching!!

Find-A-Grave has just informed me that they have removed my request for a photo of this marker. I find that most entertaining, when they probably did not notify you as the memorial's creator and manager. They have stated that "Carla" # 46781007, states the person is not there, but is buried in The Beaucoup Cemetery. Just wanted to be sure you had access to this data, as well.

Hi Rosetta,
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=104671&CScn=beaucoup+cemetery&CScntry=4&CSst=16&
The cemetery is in Nashville Ill. Not Tennessee.
That's where things went wrong.
Your friend
Carla

RE: Frankds family questions.
Hi Rosetta; I am happy to hear from you.
Thank You for searching anyway, I thought you might be in our family Line because of the name of Franks. My Father stepfather name was Lonnie
Monroe Franks and when He married my Father*s Mother he had his last name changed to Franks. But I do appreciate your searching it helped a lot so I can do more researching on this line. Jamie

RE: Mary Clark DAre
Thanks, but I don't need it. I was at local library today to get more info. I am working to get photos of every stone at this local cemetery. It is over half way done.
