I am looking for any information about my gGF, his siblings, or antecedants. His first wife was Alice Mae CLARK and they had at least three children - Celia, Bennie CLARK, and an unknown child (Alice died from complications with the birth of the unknown child, who later died in infancy).

William and my gGM, Electa Arete KENDRICK, were married 15 Aug 1893, in Carthage, Jasper County, MO and they had five children - Anna Bernice, Miriam Palmer, Fannie Fay, Della Arete, and Eugene Frank.

Other locations for the family included Albuquerque, NM; San Bernardino, CA; Fresno, CA; and Long Beach, CA.

If you can provide any information about William's heritage, it would be greatly appreciated. I, of course, am happy to provide any info I can regarding his decedents...

Thanks, KBo

OK, let me try this again...

Thanks Jerry, for the information! From where did you get this data? Is any of it documented?

If this is from your own family tree, there are a few corrections you may wish to make. Other than my GM's declarations, I have little documentation. She was adament that her father's middle name was spelled with an "os", not an "as"; that her half-brother's given name was "Bennie Clark", not "Benjamin Clark" (he was called "Clark" by the family, but used "Ben" in his adult life, per his funeral program), and that her half-sister's given name was "Celia Mae" (she was called "Celia").

What missing dates I have are on my original post. And, there is a typo in my gGM's name (again, see original post). There's more data on the descendents, as I said, if you're interested.

Thanks again for your help! If anyone else has info or documentation on the family, I'm all eyes!!!!! KBo

Thanks for the corrections! The typos are my doing based mostly on past experience and other times on whatever is in a public record. There is nothing like a descendants family history to clarify what may be in public records. Obviously, your grandmother knew details that don't always show up in various records.

I am not related to this family as far as I know although we might well have some distant cousins in common.

I have some documentation for my info but not necessarily the best. If you will contact me directly via my addy on my web site, I will be happy to share with you what I have.

Jerry - I sent you an e-mail. My e-dress often gets interpreted as SPAM so check your Junk folder if I don't show up! You should be able to recognize it... Thanks, KBo
