Re: Lookup request - Fellwock surname in Merrick County History
Meadowlark,
From what you have told me here, you must be related to my aunt then, assuming this is the one she is looking, which I am pretty sure is correct. The names are right, and so is the information about her being a teacher. She is a Leytham. She was married to my father's brother (Lyle Larson). On my father's side ... my roots are Crescent, and Underwood, Iowa. I am my father's (Raymond Larson) only daughter, and he had only one brother (they are both gone now). The names being Larson (tho we're Danish, not Swedish), Dutrow, Meneray and Smith (what I've been able to hone in to so far). I have more Larson information than I have mentioned here, but just wanted to give you a bit of background so you can understand how you and my Aunt Alta might be related.
As for Buffalo County, you may be able to help me in another way then. I used to live here in Kearney over 25 years ago, and now am back living here again. My family roots are Sumner, Eddyvile, Miller and Kearney ... on the maternal side. The names include Spellmeyer (Mom's maiden name), Barnebey (or Barneby, I've seen both spellings) Line, Simmons, and Warren (as far as I have found so far). I have been told stories about my grandparents (or maybe great grandparents) had the very first hotel here in Kearney. I have a photo of my Grandma when she was young standing by a beautiful piano, and don't know where it was taken. I have met a man here in Kearney who's great-grandfather and my grandfather were brothers, and I understand they they were from a family of something like 15 or 18 children (some which died quite young). This man is a Simmons, my grandfather was a Spellmeyer.
What a tangled web we weave, when looking generations back. I'm excited to have made some contacts to be able to trace my family tree, especially since I am the end of the line (although I do have a daughter and grandson, no sons). She is not too much interested in my side of the family but perhaps that will change since she is a mother now. Time will tell.
If you would like to email me direct, use the name here at Yahoo.
You are a very interesting person, and it looks as though we may be related, by marriage ... smiles.
Have a wonderful day!
Nancy
