I'am looking for info to my direct family tree line I have some info to share but need the correct true ancestry line linked to me. My name is Debra A Darrow (maiden) Insco,from Lansing,MI. My father's name is John William Insco from Lansing,MI. MY mother's name is Cheryl Ann Ballman (maiden) Gardner from MI. MY father's dad was Chester Insco and his mother's name was Hazel who died when my father was 7 yrs. old, he has 4 sister's named Joyce Ireland, Anna Lou Erickson, JoAnn Champion, and Norma Dadd who died from cancer. I believe that my father's mother Hazel's mom was Ada Hick's married name from Akron,Ohio. I in my family also have a living sister name Marianne Marie Insco born Oct,1966, I also had a sister who died at 6 month's old her name was Diane Marie Insco and was buried with my father's mother Hazel in the Evergreen Cmentary in MI. My mother's mom was Ethel Haynes (maiden) Jones, Her fathers was Jesse Jones and her mother's name was Rose. Ethel was born in 1926 in Williamston,MI. Ethel's first husband was Newall Elbert Gardner, and his father was Richard Newall Gardner. I believe possible that Newall Gardner's mother remarried to a Frank Jenks, who lost a son in auto accident in MI at age of 20 yrs. old. My mother's true father is unknown Gardner was the adopted father. Gardner was born in 1920 in Coldwater,MI. Ethel had 5 sister's Arlene, Evelyn, Ruby, Joyce, Leona, and a brother who died at approx age of 12 yrs. old. I believe from my father's side that Ada Hick's might also had a daughter named Helen. I'm trying to get the correct tree line, and find the true hertiage (native) when looking where the Insco's came from this is what I found but don't know who I the family is linked to or if they where all related to one another. In early history I found this that there was some Insco that came to the US from Italy, this is what I know. James Insco the 3rd (1792) from Essex City,VA. Abner son of Insco Jr. born 1700 Essex VA. Abner son Edward Insco had wife named Mary Dugtale,child Jinny Insco. James siblings;Mary Insco, Marthey Insco, Martha Insco, Rueben Insco. There's a John Insco from Dresden TN, born 1908 died at 08/1982. there is also a John Insco who was from 1951 Ohio died 08/1991. But going in earlier then this this is from Italy; Angelo Insco from Dragoni,Italy. traveled ship: California Port:Naples Campania,Italy. Then there was Carmine Insco Olevano Italy, 1897 22 yrs. old. Ship traveled : Massilia, Port: Naples Campania Italy. There is also another Carmine Insco Brooklyn Italy, 1913 28 yrs. old Ship: Canada Port: Naples Campania Italy I believed he was married, The ships name Bulgaria (1898) Carmine traveled when it was called Canada 1913, the States Army Transported american flag, in 1917 the ship was renamed USS Hercules transferred U.S. board 1919 renamed Philippines. I'm not sure who my family came from which one of these Insco's or were they all related to one another somehow. I want to get the right generation link to me, so I can pass this along to my children, facts not rumors. And want to know the true native hertiage. I only know that I also had some related family in Dresden Weakley TN, just dont know how related from my father's side. It is also possible there may be family from my mother's side from Kentucky. Any info would be helpful, I only have my immediate family info and some late history from Italy. Please give me what you can and see if you can find the links for me. Please respond to me in the Yahoo.com link. my e;mail address is ann_insco. if unsuccessful try to send to Oscoda Library in Mio,MI. Thank You. I have come into more information recently if anyone can help I would greatly appreicate it as mentioned above my father's dad Chester Insco was born approx 1908 and died in Apr. 1975 he was boen in Weakley Dresden TN. and died in Lansing MI, buried at the Evergreen Cementary in MI,his last address known was 231 S. Pennsylvania Lansing MI,he was married to a Hazel J Insco however there seems to be no record of marriage between them her maiden name was Hazel J Owen, her mother was Ada Owen then married name of Ada Hick's from Akron Ohio, Ada had 3 children named Hazel, Helen, who have passed away but also had a son named John possilbily in Alaska. Chester's father I believe is Doc Insco from Dresden Weakley TN and his wife was named Lucy,they had a number of children and chester was one of them. Hazel's brother John may have a military record under John Hick's in WWII. When I try to get info further back beyond my father's dad Chester nothing comes up accept his SS death record it does not even show that he was ever married to Hazel I cannot find any info on Hazel's death at all she was also buried along with my dead sister Diane Marie Insco in the Evergreen Cemenatary in MI. I have put in all very early history of the Insco family as far as I could find them and know they came from Italy,but don't know who is linked to my family generation line. I'm hoping someone out there can help me put my family tree line together for my children,I don't believe on rumors I need facts. Why isn't there any records on my father's Dad Chester Insco and Hazel who died early in her 30's. My father said it might have to do with his SS# for there was a problem along time ago when he worked for GM. some kind of confusion with his name as Chester C. Insco. I know that I have other relatives in TN however the one's I visted have passed away. I can't seem to get any further,please help me desperatley. Thank You you can reach me at my e;mail address at
