Linda,
Our e-mail address is
Russsally2@aol.com. My husband, Russell Raymond McFarland, is Eldas youngest grandson. Russells dad is David. Russell has 1 brother and 3 sisters.
I have had so much fun tracing Russells family. I've been tracing mine, too, but Russells has turned out to be very interesting. Leona Burroughs, Russells mom, is the descendant of Judge Franklin William Bruce, who was the first man killed by the Espinosa Brothers in 1863.
Russell, Elizabeth (our 6 year old), and I went to Cheyenne in March of this year and got a bunch of birth certificates and some land records from the courthouse there.
Do you know who Herman Tuxhorns parents were? I have Illinois land records and marriage records of several Tuxhorns, but I'm not sure how they're related.
Russell, Elizabeth, and I live in Colorado.
I am looking forward to hearing from you and hope I have some info to give. e-mail me at home so I can give you our address and phone number!
Sally
