ANSELL Submitted by: Renee Flynn ReneeFlynn@aol.com
7/16/99I am looking for the family or grandfather of my mother, Renee Ansell, born in northern Colorado on her grandfather's ranch in 1904. It was quite a large ranch, which may have extended into Laramie County, Wyoming.She often described life on it.
My mother's father died and her mother married again and had 5 more children. Her grandfather sent my mother to St. Louis to board at Madames of the Sacred Heart for her education, because of bad feelings with her step-father. She never went back to stay permanently, instead going to Chicago, then to New York where she met my father, a journalist. I would so like to find out about the family, especially her grandfather, She said she was French, Scotch Irish and Penna. Dutch. After her death I heard from someone in my father's family that she was also part Indian.
If you have knowledge of a large, early Colorado ranch, any information would be greatly appreciated. (I thought I remember her saying that Owen Wister's " The Virginian " was about the family's ranch.)
Thanks again,

The JONES (Kitty JanamiaLee Jones, and sibs) originally came from Ashville, North Carolina in the 1800's, along with the SMITHS (some connection here, but I'm unsure what).
If I can find some kind of marriage information, then it may lead me to the county of Merle's birth and his birth certificate.
Also, Frankie's parents and sibs all died in Colorado. Any information about this family would be greatly appreciated.
Last known residence in Colorado was in Wellington. Some of the children may still reside there.

FLINT Submitted by: Patty Nystrom Smith psmith4@san.rr.com
8/8/99I am trying to locate information about William H. FLINT, and/or any children he may have had. He was the son of Homer P. FLINT (born in Rockport, Illinois, Dec. 1, 1893, died at 53 in Colorado Springs, CO. August 18, 1947, buried in Evergreen Cemetery). William's mother was either Helen H. FLINT (married to Homer February 22, 1928) or Bertha E. FLINT (which was a subsequent marriage), so William would have been born between 1928 and sometime prior to his father's death in 1947.
Homer's sister was Oclah FLINT MEYERS, who would have been William's aunt. Homer's mother and father, William H. FLINT'S Grandmother and Grandfather, were William M. FLINT(1873-1940)and Mary Jane FLINT (1872-1932), who are both buried in Evergreen Cemetery, lot #232. Homer's uncle and aunt, Porter FLINT (1872-1955) and his wife Edith FLINT (1875-1962) are also buried in Evergreen Cemetery, lot #234. They had a daughter, Myrtle, who would have been Homer's cousin and Myrtle may have had a son named Jack FLINT of Denver (at least he is listed as Porter's grandson in his obituary).
Homer P. Flint was my father's birth father, who left the family when my father was 6 years old (in 1923). My father was Jack William FLINT (born October 22, 1917), and he is now 82...and in very good health. His mother, my grandmother, Alice Wright FLINT, remarried William NYSTROM, a wonderful man, who legally adopted my father and his brother, Garth W. FLINT (1921-1985), so they became Jack & Garth NYSTROM, which is my maiden name, and William NYSTROM is the only grandfather I ever knew. The six children of Garth (3) and Jack (3) are very interested in knowing about WILLIAM H. FLINT, as he is our father's half-brother and if he had children, they are our half-cousins. He would be between the ages of late 50's to 70, depending upon when he was born.
I have discovered this information through Evergreen Cemetery records on-line and through a wonderful librarian, Marilyn Chang, at Denver Public Library, as well as with the assistance of a researcher in Colorado named Linda Vixie, who has been really helpful. Could you please advise me of any suggestions you have to proceed further in my search for WILLIAM H. FLINT. Many thanks,

FOGEL Submitted by: Nancy West WEST1MUF@aol.com
8/14/99I have been attempting to locate my great-grandfather here in Cleveland OH and have been unsuccessful. I then called a cousin I recently found who is 92 years old. She indicated that my great-grandfather may have gone to Colorado, either Denver or Colorado Springs. This ties with a story my grandfather told of going to a homestead in Colorado.
Frank immigrated from Sweden in 1888 and was then known as Frans Ludvig Flinta. Upon arrival in the US he continually used the last name Fogel. However, he changed his first name from Frank to Ludwig on occassion without any real reason. He would have been in Colorado sometime between 1908 and 1918. This is when he disappeared from the Cleveland City Directory and my great-grandmother Hulda reappeared as a widow.
Frank's birth date was June 21, 1858 according to an article that was published in Swedish American Genealogist regarding glassworkers that immigrated to the US. Can you provide me with some guidance as to how to determine whether or not he passed away in Colorado during the period of 1908 to 1918?
Thank you for your assistance.FOUTS/KRESS Submitted by:
2/19/99Mortimer KRESS and Marion J. FOUTS were most likely in Colorado immediately after the Civil War(KRESS from PA and FOUTS from NV) from 1865 to 1880. I'm trying to piece together how they met, what they did in CO(trap, hunt, mine, etc.) and how they eventually moved to Adams county NE as settlers. They might be associated with 1)buffalo hunting 2)US Cavalry 3)Bill Cody and Bill Hickok 4)even Custer at the Little Bighorn. If you have any information it would greatly aid my research.

2/6/99I don't know how to begin to research the information I have which I will put below. I'm hoping you will know the resources in Colorado and can give me an idea as to where to start.
I have an ancestor by the name of James or Thomas MCCOLLUM who was killed (murdered) in Colorado. I believe it was James and he was born abt 1851 so by the time he was in Colorado it probably would have been 1875 or later.
The man who killed him is supposedly the first man "legally" hung in the state of Colorado. I think there will be a record of the first man legally hung. I'm hoping that will lead to who he killed.
Thanks for your time!

SLAUGHTER Submitted by: John Slaughter jrslaughter@icehouse.net
2/25/99Mary Unknown SLAUGHTER moved to CO in 1860 after her husband, John, died there in the summer of that year. She brought with her her infant son, Joseph Russell, b. 5 Feb 1860 in Albany, Athens, OH.
According to Joseph's obituary in the Glenrock Independent, Glenrock, WY, 22 Jan 1948, he was survived by a half-brother, Charles CRAWFORD. Also, it says that a nephew, Walter SMITH of Longmont, CO, had died only 7 hours earlier than his own death on 14 Jan 1948. Another bit of info says that Joseph grew up in CO and didn't leave there until he was about 18.
Mary is my gggrandmother. From the info in the obit, it would seem that she married a CRAWFORD in CO and had at least one more child.
From the 1910 census that Joseph filled out, Mary was born in OH.
I would like any information on Mary and Charles. Information on Charles' ancestry and descendants would be a nice bonus.
Thank you.

To whom this may concern,
I am looking for the parents of my great-grandfather, Henry Strecker. He was born on December 13, 1906 somewhere in Colorado. Henry's parents emigrated from Germany/Russia. My great-aunt believes that their names were Heinrich (Henry) Strecker and Eva (Anna?) Ring. But I'd like to know that these names are correct for sure. I know that this query goes against what your guidelines say to go by, but I'm hoping that with his name and exact birthday you may be able to help. Thank you for your help.

THORNTON Submitted by: Monty MONTY3@prodigy.net
1/24/99I have a letter from my great aunt, who claims that her real father, THORNTON, first name unknown, lost his wife shortly after she was born and left her with my great grandfather in Minnesota, then THORNTON proceeded to California but became sick and died someplace in Colorado.
My great aunt was born in 1868 somewhere between Ohio and Minnesota. She was told that her mother's name was Agnes Kent, but have been unable to find any information on her, even though I have Kents in my family background.
In some graveyard I hope someone has seen the name of Thornton on a marker.

Her mother died when she was 10 of a heart problem. She then went to live with an aunt. Her father remarried after the death of her mother. She probably lived in the San Francisco, California area around 1950. Father's name may have been Robert or Paul.

WHITEHEAD Submitted by: Janet WADEJANET@aol.com
4/5/99Hi, Sorry to bother you with this question - but I was told my husband's great grandmother, that we thought has died, moved to Colorado, don't know where and don't know how to find out. Her name was Hallie (Mahala) Whitehead, she was born about 1868 in Jackson County, Tennessee. She had married a Ben Chism in TN and had a daughter Mary and then there wasn't any sign of her, so we assumed she had died, her granddaughter died last year at the age of 96, she left a note saying her grandmother moved to Colorado and her name was Hallie Whitehead. We do not have access to the 1900 Colorado Census, can you tell me how or who I might contact that could help us. Thank you for your time.
