Hi my mother was Alice Marie Chynoweth. She was born in Ahmeek Michigan on July 8, 1921 to Sam Chynoweth and Clara Wirtz. Mom died when I was very young and I have not been in any contact with her family. Does anyone have any information about this family?

Are you still out there? Looking at my family records, your mother Alice (born to Samuel Chynoweth and Clara Wirtz) would have been my great-grandfather's (Clarence Chynoweth) sister.

me --> my father --> my grandmother (Marion Chynoweth) --> my great- grandfather (Clarence Chynoweth) --> Samuel Chynoweth (his father was Sam Chynoweth as well) + Clara Wirtz (her parents were Adolph Wirtz and Frederika ?)

I'd be happy to correspond via email if you'd like.

So great to hear from you! Your great-grandfather was my uncle. I remember meeting him a few times as a little girl. Not sure if that makes me feel really old or just happy to see that the 'younger' generation is interested in their ancestry. My mother Alice Chynoweth Swoveland died when I was 12 years old and my grief stricken father did not stay in close contact with her family so I have had little or no information about them over the years.

I do know that Clarence's brother, Robert, was working on collecting information about the family. Not sure how you would find his data but hopefully his children continued the search.

You can email me at Jacksp01@comcast.net, I would love to share any information I have.
