I am related to Jonas Uriah Reynolds, the father of Nettie Ellen Reynolds, married to Ollie Better Check Gonce. I have limited information on the family. Anyone willing to exchange information, please contact me.

Mary Ann:

I know of two Rudolph Gonces (from the revolutionary war era and the next generation), but don't know who "Ollie Better Check Gonce" is. What an unusual name - I bet there's a great story there.

Anyway, I have a lot of information on the Gonce family, and am willing to exchange information. Feel free to contact me directly at foberle@rcn.com if you want.

My connection to the Gonces is that my Mom was a Gonce.

Regards,

Frank

Maybe Ollie Better Check Gonce is related to the Mnu's and Fnu's in my family. When I first tinkered with Ancestry.com I was amazed to find so many of my ancesters from long ago with the same strange first name, Mnu. I thought, "Wow, that name has really fallen out of grace over the ages, I haven't ran into a single Mnu during my entire life. I was even more baffled when I began to see that some of the Mnus in my family were married to women with the equally unusual name of Fnu.

Wow, Randy! Unfotunately I didn't see this posting until after I had sent other e-mails to you, so I wasn't ignoring you.

But I had never seen anything with "Ollie" in front of "Better Check," and had seen the name "Better Check" in enough places that it didn't occur to me that it may have been someone's note. Particularly when there was so much detail attached to him (born 11 NOV 1901 in Acquilla Texas, last of 10 children with "normal names," married twice, etc.) and his son "Better Check, Jr." (born 6 JUN 1928, 3rd of 4 sons, all the rest with "normal" names).

Unfortunately, I haven't ever really researched the Texas Gonces ("Better Check" or whoever he is descended from John Rudolph Gonce, younger brother of Vance Gonce and son of Abraham Gonce, your ancestor Isaac's twin).

I see now, I had "better check" some Texas census records, and see if there is an Ollie hidden there.

Regards

Hi David,

My name is Tonya Gonce, I am Darlene Gonce's neice. My father is Clayton Kevin Gonce. I asked my mother if she could remeber anything on the family and wanted me to ask if you know of a Donald Gonce who is married to a Ann or of a David Gonce married to a Mary Ann? I am new to researching the family, but would be happy if you could share what you have with me.
