RESEARCHER  

I wanted to let folks know and the ones who haven't looked around my web site that I have my research almost all indexed. I can do lookups for anything I have listed on my Counties Information Pages.

Online Research

If you find a census record, marriage record, or anything else that is either listed or indexed that you want me to do a lookup for, I will be more than happy to do so. Please allow a couple of days for me to get them done. If you have sent a request and have not yet received a response, feel free to e-mail me a reminder .

~~~~~~~~

LOBB CEMETERY

My family was some of the first settlers in Jackson county, coming here about 1834. My gggggrandfather owned a large farm in eastern Jackson county. I have a few books on Jackson county, and I also have indexed Lobb Cemetery and have some basic histories on families buried there. Alot of the early pioneers that lived in Eastern Jackson county were buried there. There are some confederates buried there, and also a couple of men that were Quantrill's gang. I'll gladly share anything you might need, or do lookups for individuals that are buried in Lobb. Most of these early pioneers were from KY. Since I live here in Jackson county, I will help when I can. I live in the Fort Osage Township, and there are alot of old cemeteries out here. Lisa Rainwater, NRAINH20@aol.com.

PHOTOS AND PAPERS FOUND

Someone recently bought at auction one of those "miscellaneous" boxes of who-knows-what. In the box are lots of photos and papers of an ANNE LOUISE WERNINGER who married a BLAND (we think his name was Ralph). Included is a book titled "My Graduation" which is full of memorabilia for "Louise" and it says "Louise Werninger, Senior, 1929". She was a student at Bethany High School.
The Blands apparently moved to Kansas City because there are war ration booklets for "Anna, Ralph, Larry B. Bland" and the address says 8217 Locust, Kansas City, MO.
They must have moved to Kansas later because a penciled note on the back of a photo says, "Ralph Bland at Salinda 'Sun' 1946-1949."
Also included is the original Civil war discharge paper for a Jackson VAIL, dated 12 June 1865 and a pension certificate for him dated 2 July 1913. He must have been some relative (ancestor) of the Werningers or the Blands.
We would be happy to find a descendant of these families who would want this material. To see the materials or get ahold of the gentlemen that has these please see http://www.rootsweb.com/~iapottaw/ or e-mail Bob Anderson at banders@nfinity.com.

~~~~~~~~

SOMEONE HAS INFO
