QUINTANA

Submitted by Daniel D. Duling on Tue Mar 17, 1998

Quintana, Frank
I am interested in the genealogy of Quintana's in the Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico area.
My wife's Father is supposed to come from Colorado (down state I believe) but though misfortune he died back in the 60's while my wife was yet a small child leaving behind little information regarding his family.
This is the best information we have on him
1) His name was Frank Quintana
2) He had a sister Isabella who died quite young
3) He was likely born in the first 6 years of this century
4) His wife believes he mentioned a brother
5) He played Guitar professionally
6) His wife said he had lived on a reservation as a child where his father worked. Cortez area possibly
7) He eventually moved to Chicago
This is obviously a very slim thread of information to go on and I don't expect miracles. If you have family information you are willing to share, I would appreciate it. If I collect enough information to make it worth the effort I would like to create a website so that all interested Quintanna's and their decendants could participate and share in their own history.
Please contact me if you are interested.
Thank you.

I am seeking any information on a great aunt, Ivor ADAMS REESE. She was born in Johnson County TN, or Watauga County, NC before 1902 to Willett Adams and Alice Norris Adams. She married Carl REESE in Johnson County, TN (I believe) 01-26-1916. Shortly after the married, they left Watauga County, NC and moved to Colorado. They had 2 children, Burl Reese and Glen(n?) Reese.

Tekoucich

Posted by Gail Walters gail.walters@anlw.anl.gov on Friday, December 11, 1998

I am looking for relatives belonging to my mother's biological family. She was born, Helen Tekoucich, in CO, in 1925 the daughter of Josef Tekoucich and Caroline Skriner (I believe this was a common law marriage). She was the youngest of 10 children. The death of her father & poor health of her mother, required she be placed up for adoption. Adoption occurred in 1928 in Pitkin County CO. Her grandfather signed the adoption papers, his name was Anton J. Skriner or Shriner. Names of her brothers and sisters: Josephine BD 7/20/1901(married name Rande), Francis BD 1903 DD 1917, Joe BD 9/5/1906, Edward BD 1909, Edith BD 7/20/1911 (married name Richards), Celia BD 3/16/1913, Albina BD 1915, DD 1971, Leo BD 3/12/1917, George DB 2/2/1919, Helen BD 7/19/25 DD 9/11/95. My mother's name was changed to Sarah Jane Wernette when she was adopted. I am not sure of the accuracy of the birth and death dates of the siblings.
Internet searches have produced the following:
Military Registration
Tekoucich, Josef 19 Mar 1879 W naturalized citizen

SSDI
LENA Tekoucich 7 May 1890 Oct 1969 81601 (Glenwood Springs, CO)
MABEL Tekoucich 2 Apr 1911 Jan 1983 81650 (Rifle, Garfield, CO)
EDWARD Tekoucich 1 Jan 1910 18 Dec 1991 (No Location Given)

I located an article from a past edition of the Aspen Times:

Vol 117 Num 27 8/3 & 4/96 paragraph about George & Pepper Tekoucich 50th wedding anniversary.
I also found reference to Leo and Edward Tekoucich in an excerpt from a book titled "Aspen: The Quiet Year".
I have tried to find telephone listings for Leo and George, without any success.
I would appreciate any help.
Thank You
