Dear John,
Thank you so much for the treasure trove! I've printed out the 114 pages and have read through about half. At least two of my concerns have already been addressed and my doubts were valid!
A couple of notes regarding my first and second generations: Daddy (Jay Nichlolas) died on Sept. 12, 1999, and is buried in the Butterfield Cem.: Mum (Goldie Marie Crowder) died July 21, 2003, and was cremated. "Rocky" Russell Jay Carpenter was Daddy's first grandson, my sister Barbara Lee's only child, and the light of all our lives!. Her ashes are buried near him as is my sister Sharon Louise. I am actually the seventh born of Jay and Goldie...first was a son named Arnold who died at, I believe, about 16 months of age, and boy/girl twins born in 1947, between my brother and me. I believe both are buried in the Moddersville Cem. with Grandfather Glen. I'm working with my sister and aunt to put tighter dates on things so the next generations will have some blocks to build on!
Thanks again and in advance for the questions I'm sure I'll have once I've read through the data!
Tami
Died at 16 months.
