FINK
Hi, I have been trying for quite some time to find something on EVE FINK who married George Bower(s). I have absolutely nothing else besides her name. She had 3 known children with George. Does this name fit into your family?
The only frame of reference I can use is that one of her sons, George Bowers, was born Oct. 11, 1818 in York County, Penna. I also have a Catherine Fink, who was married on Aug. 31, 1841 in York County, Pa. to Daniel Erben/Erban, who was born 12/30/1815 in York County. Melinda in NJ
Swenson
I am looking for information on Emma Swenson (b 1871 in Kansas) who married Jonas Olson on May 4, 1896, possibly in the White City, Morris County, KS area. Emma was an older sister of my grandfather, Joseph Jonathan Swenson, who was born in 1884 in White City, KS. If you have any information, I would love to hear from you!

Carr
Joseph F. and Margaret (?) CARR, my great-great-great-grandparents, lived in Brown County (Willis) Kansas from about 1850 until at least after 1901. Children (that I’ve heard about) are Susan, Martha, John, and Lydia Ann (my great-great-grandmother.) Lydia married James William KERR (b. 1850, KY) about 1879 – first child, Gertrude was born 10/18/1880 in Brown County. Lydia died about 1890 in Kansas. Gertrude lived with Lydia’s relatives in Brown County from about 1895 until her marriage in 1901 to Charles Henry COUCH (b. 1875 in Knob Noster (Clinton) MO. Other children of James & Lydia Kerr are Truman (lived most of his life in or near Humboldt, NE) and Robert. Anyone know anything about these people? Any info greatly appreciated.
