Okay Lee, were you paying attention?

After sending that last email I decided to take another stab at finding more
out about my Dixon buttonhole relatives, I did a search of Grant county
again without finding a promising looking hit, so before trying the brute
force approach I got the bright idea of googling the full name from my
previous post and lo and behold I got ONE hit; a web page by a real familiar
name;		Lee Gentemann		with all sorts of details about Homer and his family.

So first question, Midge; are you and Lee connected?

Second question; Lee, I believe I have Pauline's parents in the 1920 census,
shall I email you the image off list?

I am quite confident it is her;

Series: T625  Roll: 1494  Page: 60
 Surname  GivenName  Age  Sex  Race  Birthplace  State  County  Location
Year
 STEWART  LORING V  47  M  W  OR  OR  GRANT  SOUTH FORK PCT  1920 	ohio
Missouri
 		Jennie M.	wife	47	OR	OR	Wisconsin
		Pauline W.	dau	13	OR	OR	OR
		Mary L	dau	 9	OR	OR	OR
		Martha C	dau	3/12	OR	OR	OR
		Mary		Mother 75	Missouri	New Hampshire	Alsace
		William A.	cousin 23	OR	Ohio	unknown US

The reason I am so confident is because of the father's name, it is the
middle name of the Homer Dixon that married my cousin Judy.

Linda; I caught your post before I sent this, yes I am interested, mostly
because that part of the family is making very little effort on tracking
their family history, and I am sure down the road a piece one of the kids
will get curious and I have let them know I "am" running down their family
history.
