Hi,
I do not recognize the Oglesby names you mentioned but I do know that a
James OGLESBY is buried in Forest Lawn Cem. Omaha, NE. I don't have any
other info on him as I can't connect him to my line, but I know someone
who does belong to his line.
My line includes Francis Alexander OGLESBY b. 1924 in Terrell, Kaufman
Co., TX and d. 1977 in Omaha, NE, also buried at Forest Lawn. Francis'
father, John OGLESBY, lived in TX originally, but after divorce ended up
in Martinez, Contra Costa Co., CA where he died 1985 and is buried.
If any of this could tie in with Sean, please write for further info.
