"I remember as a child hearing Grandma Veda talk about Erton and his siblings. Am thinking, they probably stayed in contact thru the years. Grandma was a Tupperware Dealer for years and years and even had a
stand at the LAA. Co. Fair every year. She was also very involved with church and was our Guild Girl's leader for years.
I have the same info from SSI and I believe we are related. Will do more searching for your father.
"Good meeting you! Hope I can be of some help. Effie is still living and I will ask her about Erton. Shelives with her son Tom wife in Colton. We stay in contact. In fact she lived with mom after dad passed until just a couple of years ago. Also there is a cousin of their's here in town that I can call. Will do so and hope I have some info for you. Hang-in-there, girl." p

Thanks for all the info. I, again, haven't been on the internet for a while. My e-mail address is LMart24373@cs.com. Contact me again there directly is the easiest to get ahold of me. I am trying to locate some pix, but am having a difficult time.

HOpe to hear from you soon. Les

Wow!. I too am related to you somewhere. I think all of the names you have from Oscar on down were brothers and sisters to my line. My gt gt grandparents were Nicholas DAniel basinger married to Eliza Ann Grant. His father was Michael Basinger. They were all from Vermillion County, Indiana. Nicholas and Eliza had many children one of whom was my gt grandfather David Sylvester Thomas Basinger married to Emma Chenoweth. They had many children, 11 I think, one was my grandmother Lois Bernice Basinger Cain. I ran across a piece of paper with all of the siblings of either David S.T. Basinger or his father Nicholas. It has all of your crews names on it. Email me and we'll compare and share.Lisa in Ca Do you know Marilyn Cain Dobson or Geri Atkins Bowes? Marilyn is my mother and Geri is her 1st cousin who lives in Riverside. Her mother was Elanore Basinger Atkins who passed away last month. She was another child of David and Emma Basinger. It is neat to find other family on line and who are doing geneology.
