Hello, I am a great-great granddaughter of Elizabeth Oldfather
Siler, descended from her daughter Catherine who married William Lawson
Short. Most of my Oldfather/Short family live in Illinois in the area
where William Lawson Short settled and eventually was buried, however I
live in Colorado. I would be happy to exchange information on our branch
of the family if there is interest in it, although I do not have extensive
information. My family has for many years attended a reunion of the
various descendants of William Lawson Short. As a child, I met many of my
father's 40+ cousins as these reunions. Most of this generation are now
gone, including my father. A few of us, including me and one of my sisters
in Illinois have copies of the 1911 geneology, family notes etc. Also when
I was a child my family made a trip to your area of Ohio to search for
family history and my father met some of his family there. As my father
(Ernest Short) died unexpectedly when I was 15 and I was yet not much
interested in family history, I don't have much information on his
findings. I would be interested in corresponding and
exchanging information and can also put you in touch with other Oldfather
descendent in Illinois. Regards, Esther Short Walden
