Hi listers,
Has anyone heard of either the Whitney News and Genealogy or House of
Genealogy in Knoxville, Iowa, or Lisa Burnett? Wondering if it is still
there and if it is reputable? Someone has directed me to a website with this
information that links to research I am doing looking for my Great
Grandfather's(HIAL CADY) father. I cannot tell if the information this woman
has on her website is her research or if it is a newsletter and someone sent
this information to her to be published, anyone know of this
I am trying to find out were I can find the 1905, 1915 and 1925 Iowa state census records. I am looking for a Peter Little (also found spelled Peeter and Petter). Last found in the 1895 Iowa census in Crawford county. He was born abt. 1861 in MA and his parents were from Ireland.
He is found in the 1885, 1895, and 1910 census in Woodbury and crawford Counties. I have been unable to located him in anything prior to or after. He had 2 sons born in 1887 and 1889 both in Crawford.
Thanks!

Hi Listers,
I'm still searching for my great grandfather Joseph Bray's english roots and though someone sent me marriage information I am wondering if perhaps the marriage application, a marriage announcement in a paper from that time and area, something might tell the name of Josephs father? Can someone tell me how to proceed with this.
The info I have is as follows
Joseph Bray to Alice M. Beckwith, November 22, 1873 at the Bride's father's, Lincoln Twp., Black Hawk Co. IA. Joseph Bray age 28, Alice M.
REUBEN NOBLE was born on the 14th of April, 1821, in Adams County,
Mississippi, where his father was a planter. The father was opposed to human slavery
and in 1833 removed to Illinois to rear his family in a free State. When the
son was eighteen years of age he began to study law and was admitted to the bar
at twenty-one. In 1843 he came to Iowa, making his home at Garnavillo, in
Clayton County. In 1854 he was elected as a free soil Whig to the Legislature
and upon the organization of the House wa

I am looking for someone who dieid in 1962 in Kentucky and they are not
listed on the SSDI but are listed on the Kentucky State Death Index. I suppose
that means they did not collect social security benefits. Am I right ?

JEREMIAH H. MURPHEY was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, February 19, 1835,
was educated in the schools of Boston and after removing to Iowa, graduated at
the State University. He read law in Davenport, was admitted to the bar and at
once entered upon practice. He was an active Democrat and in 1873 was
elected mayor of Davenport. In 1874 he was elected to the State Senate, serving
four years. In 1879 he was again chosen mayor. In 1882 he was elected to
represent the Second District in Congress and
That's right....my gr grandfather served in the Civil War with the
Illinois troops, as did his 18-yr. old son. He was given a medical
discharge after he was in the Army for about 3 yrs., but was unable
to get a pension. I hadn't tried to see if his 18-yr. old son had any
kind of benefits as I know he was killed in battle just a couple weeks
before the war ended. He was unmarried and I figured there'd be no
one to claim a pension. One day I decided to request his military
pension records anyway and

I found a similar problem with my great grandfather. It proved to be that he
was the grandson of the Head of the House. Don't know what to tell you about
the last two. I would look for the in the next census year to see if there
might be more useful information.
Juanita,
Having just read your message , I have no idea as to if the name Lillie is a
first or middle name
My mother's name is Pauline Lillie Pearce. I thought it was misspelled but
all her records had it spelled just that way

My grand-aunt died in a RR accident while taking a shortcut across a RR
Trestle. I didn't know exactly the date that she died, but found her by: 1)
Renting a Vital Statistic Film for BlackHawk Co.,IA for years 1885-1925
through the LDS (Mormon) Family History Centers, and 2) Writing a letter to
the current newspaper in the area (newer newspapers tend to buy up older
newspapers and keep the old vintage newspapers on film for referral) and
asking them for any obits on an Accident in that time period. Accide

Susan,
Some sugguestions:
Check the Civil War pension records in the National Archives. If he
didn't get one, check anyway as his widow may have applied for a
pension after his death. The affidavits required from his widow will
give details about where and when he died.
If you know the IA regiment and company he served, check the Civil
War records in the Archives @ the Iowa State Historical Library as
they have many.
What records told you he died in Kansas? Check land records
where he lived i
