I am looking for information regarding the Casad family of Pittsburg Kansas. My greatgradfather was Orla Casad, his daughter Orlena Casad Palmer was my grandmother, and her daugher Patricia Orle Casad Phelps was my mother. Family lore is the this branch descended from a member of Lafayette's party when he came from France and is of minor nobility. I am looking for any information possible. The penchant for names variant of Orlean might indicate origin in that region of France. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated. Secondary email layyla@mail.com or leila726@yahoo.com

This might not be a help, but I found the name, Orla Casad, in my ggg grandfather's (John Hook Jameson) Civil War pension file. It appears he was an official of some kind, maybe a lawyer.

Yes, my great-grandfather Orla Casad was a judge in Pittsburg, Kansas. Please, I'd like to know more about your pension file and what it means. Please write me at leila726@yahoo.com

Mr. Fox, Are you by chance related somehow to the Sieverts, Fox or Long families of Pittsburgh KS?

The name Sievert sounds very familiar to me. Echoes of the past if you know what I mean. I don't think we're related but I think my parents knew members of the Sievert family when they lived in Pittsburg. Charles "Wayne" Phelps and his wife Patty Phelps (maiden name Palmer). My father was the judge of the city court in the 30's. They left Pittsburg during WWII when my father took up defense work. While still living in Pittsburg they had one daughter, my oldest sister Loris Gail Phelps now Pepperdine.

Any connection would be great. I have many photographs of my parent's friends and few names to put to them. My father was an amateur photographer.

I've got several photos done by Ferguson Studio in Pittsburgh. Thought I would try to find Ferguson's and see if they had any records of photos - probably a long shot though.

What about the names Long (Glenn and Nellie or Glenn and Kathleen), Kusel (Steve and Mary or Raymond and Evelyn)? The ones I'm really interested in are Charles W. Sievert and Mary Ann (Fox) Sievert.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

My Great Grandfather was Orla Samuel Casad, who held many civic positions in Pittsburg, Kansas, Justice of the Peace being one of them. I would very much be interested in any photos that you may have. There is a lot of information about him at http://pittsburgksmemories.com under Biographies.
