I would like information and to hear from people who knew my grandparents. Henry Allen Ballinger and Opal F. (Shadow) Ballinger

My husband's grandfather was Frances W. OAKLEY (1875-1955) who married first Ida Jane ZIKE (1874-1910) and married second Mary Berry (1892-1981).
I also have listed a Joseph R. ZIKE (1918-1995) who married Ethel OAKLEY (1927- )

My father's name was John Edward Duesing, one of eight children born to Johan William and Mary Wunsch Duesing of Cleveland, WI. My granfather was born in 1837, fought in the 26th Wisconsin infanty of the Civil War. I do not know where he was born. I know that he was an early settler of Cleveland in Manitowoc County, WI. Can anyone give me more information on this Duesing family? Is there any relationship to the Cumberland County Duesing

I too come from the Oakley line. I have your Francis Warren Oakley b 2/9/1875 D 3/12/1955 married Ida Zike 12/27/1893. Ida was born 10/18/1874 and died 11/13/1910 there were 7 children born to this union.

Francis is the son of John William Oakley b. 7/18/1850.

John William Oakley is the son of Plesant Oakley b. 4/5/1828

Plesant Oakley is the son of William Oakley b 1797

William Oakley is the son of Christopher Oakley b 1769

Your John William Oakley and my great great grandpa Madison Crittendon Oakley are brothers. I have done extensive research on the Oakley line but don't have much on your Francis Warren Oakley. I would enjoy sharing information.

I am just starting research on relatives from Cumberland Co.
My gg grandmother was Bertha Oakley born about 1881 and married Clarence Delbert White. I have no other information as yet, but would appreciate any help.

I believe we have a common ancestor.

This is the Bertha Oakley I have.

Bertha Oakley born 9/30/1881 died 8/20/1964 in Toledo, IL she was the daughter of Francis Marion Oakley and Nancy ane Janes. Bertha was 1 of 11 children born to this union.

Bertha married Clarence White in 1900. Clarence was born 11/27/1877 and died 12/25/1964 in Toledo, IL. Born to this union was 5 children.

If this looks like it is your Bertha I would enjoy sharing information. I have aprox 1,200 names in our Oakley line dating back to 1738 in Virginia.

You can contact me directly at robnstac@monticello.net.
