Hi Leslie,
My name is Connie (Shehorn) Dow.I am trying to locate Doug Shehorn, originally from Rinard, Il (Wayne Co, IL).Doug's father (Art Shehorn) and my father (Ernie Shehorn) were brothers.Other brothers were Albert & Clarence.My father's parents were John & Mary (?) Shehorn, also of Rinard.I am trying to find Uncle Art's son, my 1st cousin, Douglas (Doug) Shehorn. His sister is/was Sharon Shehorn (don't know a married name).
A bit of history....
My father, Ernest Sampson Shehorn..went by Ernie, family always called him "Moon" Shehorn.Deceased 37 yrs. ago at age 54, heart attack.
Uncle Clarence (wife Juanita) was known as "Unc" Shehorn.Also deceased..don't remember year...loooonnnggg time ago, and Aunt Juanita (known as 'Nita or Neeter" died about 6 yrs. ago??
Albert Shehorn was the 'baby' of the family and he died ofgan green following leg amputation around 1960.
I have an older sister by 2 yrs, Donna (Shehorn) Gagnon, and a half sister Karen (Shehorn) Black(??) whom I lost track of several years after our father died....she was from Daddy's 2nd marriage and was 8 yrs. old when he died.. I was about 22 when he died....am coming up on my 60th birthday next month(YIKES)!!!
I know that my cousin Doug was working on our family geneology around 15 yrs. or so ago as he contacted me in Arizona.I haven't heard from him since, but my sister Donna did, although it's been several years now.
I know Doug traced our family history back several generations as having immigrated from some village in Germany.
My 38 yr. old daughter is married to a newly promoted to full Col., Air Force fighter pilot and they just got new orders for 2 years in Germany.I will be going out there in a few months to spend some time with them and wanted to look up whatever I can find on family history, etc. while there. But I need to locate Doug first!!!
I was very excited to see your post and am hoping you are from same line of family that I am and between the 2 of us maybe I can find Doug and also maybe we can track our histories to the same family line.
I have never used this geneology site before, but will assume my email address will display.In case not, my email is:[email protected] really look forward to hearing from you, even if we discover that we are not fromm the same family.I think we surely must be, because the Shehorn's of Wayne Co., Il. were all related (brothers, etc.) and was the only line of Shehorn's there.
I hope to hear from you soon!Connie (Shehorn) Dow.
