I have been interested in genealogy since I was 16, over 50 years. All of the people I have put in are related to my husband or I, with the exception of the famous people and some related to Iowa history. If you have any additions or corrections or are related to any of these people, please feel free to contact me. If you are more closely related to these people than I, I will be happy to transfer them to you, if they are not in my direct line, many are quite far down on family tree.

I also have listed several families who were killed in the Johnstown, Pennsylvania flood in 1889. All of them I have listed, bodies were never found. If these are part of your family, I will gladly transfer them to someone who knows more about them than I do. Those in cemeteries in Mason County Kentucky are not related to me.

I apologize to anyone who answered one of my requests for a grave photo. Since I changed computers I have unable to receive photo messages from Find a Grave.
