Hi There,
My Father has a picture of a "Henry Twombly", who (according to the details on the back of the picture) went to America in 1865 and died in 1930, possibly the same man? I have no more details, email me at twamley@yahoo.com and I'll set about scanning in the picture if you are interested.

Pete

Kristy, Archie was my grandfather. My father, Robert John Twombly still lives in DeKalb and is the geneologist in the family. You may have already contacted him by now. Feel free to contact me if you have additional questions. Debby

Hello Debby!
I do know your dad...both because I hear about him once in a while from Don (Margaret's middle son) and from her when she was still with us. I even went over and visited with him once several years ago...Don sent me over to talk genealogy and history with him.

I'm always interested in learning more about the family...and then I share it with Don Gravlin, Heather [our dau], and Angela [another dau of Don's.

I remember visiting with Doc and Jessie back about the mid-1960s. I married Don (Margaret's middle son Donald Joseph Gravlin) and Margaret was Jack aka John Francis Twombly's dau.)

I'd love to get more info on the family...and would be very willing to share any genealogy info that I've gathered over the years. Don has two daughters, both of whom are interested in the genealogy and history of the family.
