A Google Alert sent me a link to some photographs by someone with the Oskaloosa News. It appears to be an entirely online operation. The images are of Wellman, Iowa or nearby. I have family connections to Wellman, hence my interest. One focuses on a clock in downtown Wellman. Another is of a “unique home” [...]
A distant cousin, Laura Crockett, posted a comment on the Darling pedigree I wrote about in May. She had a few questions, which prompted me to delve once again into the Darling family tree, which I have neglected for quite some time. Aaron – Wow! Jabez Darling has been a brick wall forever. Where did [...]

Americans in Winchester

I posted messages to a variety of places — mailing lists and message boards — long ago but never received any [...]
The interior of the theater (or theatre) at Camp Mills certainly looked impressive. I doubt my great grand uncle saw any performances there. He shipped out from Camp Mills in November of 1917, when the camp was still very primitive. Camp Mills was located near Garden City, Long Island and about ten miles from New [...]

Someone wrote to me via the blog, in a response to another post, about family records housed by the U.S. Army. He wanted to know if I had a man named Robert Hynes ”among my records.” I’m interested if your records show a listing of the men in that unit and, if so, is there a Robert [...]
