Genealogical Queries

    You can post a genealogical query here, to see if anyone has the information you seek about your ancestor.

    Just specifically tell me that this is a "Query" in an e-mail message, and specify that you want your message and e-mail address posted on this page.

    Be sure to include enough information for someone to make a connection, which usually would mean

      (1) name(s)
      (2) date(s) - at least approximate (of birth, marriage, death, etc.)
      (3) location(s)

    (If you just say, "I'm looking for my grandfather, Jerald Kennedy," we won't be able to help you, because there have probably been thousands of people with that, or any other, name.)

    Check back here from time to time, in case someone else has posted a question about one of your ancestors. (You can scan the page quickly, because surnames are in RED).

    2. I am searching for information on Stella HACKER who married Harry Alvin RICE in 1920. My father was Harry Alvin Rice. His first wife was Stella Hacker, Born 15 April 1892 in Eagle, Fayette, WV. They married in 1920 but had no children. She died around 1925. They were from Kanawha County, WV My father then married my mother and I have information on this. What I am looking for is information on the RICE line. I know my paternal grandparents' information but come to a dead end with that on the RICE side. My thought was that maybe Stella HACKER family may have some information on my father's RICE background. Someone may have a photo of the couple, or vital statistics certificates that may have family history information. I found Stella HACKER's family pedigree on FamilySearch.com. Her father was Charles Hedgeman HACKER, born 1859; his father was Perry Hansford HACKER, born 1842; his father was John C. HACKER, born 1810/20?. Thank you.

    4. My grandfather was Clair Wilson IRWIN b. 10-7-1888(fact). Oldest son of George Bain IRWIN (fact) and ?(maybe Carolyn?). I believe he was born around Altoona but I can find no proof of that. I know that he was born in PA. Clair Wilson had brothers Harry and Lyle and a sister named Mary (other given names and dob unknown). I know that their mother died and George moved to AL before 1899(George B m. Millie TINSLEY in Etowah County AL). He left Harry and Mary behind, maybe with other family members. Mary married a Walter O. KEPHART of the Duncanville area. Harry grew up Dayton OH. Is this enough to get any help? Anything would be a help. All of this info was pulled from my mother and my aunt's memory other than what I stated as fact. Thanks,

    8. I found a medley family in Iowa in the 1880 Census, head: J. R. MEDLEY (b. Indiana), wife Eliza, sons Harry, Joseph and Claudie. All but last child were b. Indiana. Also listed was Mother-in law: Louisa BERRYHILL, Born Iowa, parents both born Pa ....I find this same Louisa BERRYHILL (I think it's the same woman-same age and parents from Pa. living with my grandfathers BOYLES family, no occupation, Relationship says "other". I think she was relative of my BOYLES family. I think the J. R. MEDLEY of Indiana may be Joseph, as their son was Joseph ...... Have you ever heard of this MEDLEY family???? Thank you.

    9. My mother just told me that my father was named man of the year in ERIE, PA just before they moved to Albuquerque. This would have been in 1949 or 1950. My father is David Conrad ROBERTSON.

    Is there anyone who can tell me the name of the newpapers or magazines that might have carried the story of Erie's "Man of the Year" in 1950? I work by a Library & could get copies of Interstate loaned materials but I don't know what to ask for. Thanks for your help.
