My HOLDEN Family Tree

My Grandmother, Jennie D. HOLDEN died before I was born. My father never talked about his parents and in retrospect, I understand why. After searching for several years I realized that none of the information I had obtained from my family, concerning Jennie, was correct. Naturally her birth, and her family, would have been recorded on the 1880 Census that was destroyed by fire! I emailed 'tons' of researchers with no results except for a growing pile of 'happy hunting' messages … until that fateful day when the message read, 'You're in luck, Jennie was my great-grandmothers sister.' From that point I have collected every scrap of information on the HOLDEN family. I've read so much about them it's almost like actually knowing them. If you're looking for a HOLDEN, please don't hesitate to contact me.

My RAYMER Family Tree

The marriage certificate for George R. RAYMER and Jennie D. HOLDEN states that George had a previous wife. What a surprise for the family members! Nothing is known about the 'mystery wife.' If you have any information on the first Mrs. George R. RAYMER, please contact me.

My STARKS Family Tree

The William F. STARKS Family is listed on the Ridgeway, Orleans, NY Census for the years 1850, 1855, and 1860. One Census states Mr. Starks was born in NY while the next one states he was born in MA. My Great-grandmother, Betsey Ann Starks is listed on the 1850 Census as his daughter. I was able to find this information because in 1915, Betsey and Samuel celebrated their 55th Wedding Anniversary which was published by a newspaper in Cedar Springs, Kent, Michigan with a photograph of the couple. That's where my luck seems to have tapered off! If you have any information on the William F. STARKS of Ridgeway, Orleans, NY, please contact me.
