Hi Jim,
Thanks for sending the GEDCOM file. I'm going to try and send you a co
py ofmy GEDCOM. I've not had an opportunity to verify all of the info on thi
s fileas yet. I've set up individual sheets (7 binders so far) to start
verification. I'm currently working on Illinois websites to confirm
marrige/death records. Will then go on to other states. Do you by cha
nceknow of any Missouri websites that allow an individual to verify infor? W
hatI've found so far is just addresses to request info.
Feel free to share any info I send to you. I'd appreciate your passing m
yname/address along to anyone else who is working on Willard/Gooding sea
rches.My infor includes material from Dean Glenn and Daryl Matthews (Texas) a
ndLarry Wilkey (Illinois). All three have indicated no problem with shari
ng ofinformation. We won't get very far if we don't want to share. I have a
cousin in Illinois who has done a lot of research. However, doesn't app
earthat she wants to share. Oh well.
Opal Coulter lives in Bowen, Illinois. (Very small town of about 550) I w
asraised in Bowen and my parents still live there. I know Opal had marri
ed PatCampbell after she and my brother divorced. She and Pat also divorced. S
hewas living with another guy in Bowen - but I'm not sure if they married
.I'll check with Mom for Opals current name and address and will pass th
isalong to you.
Let me know if you have a problem getting my GEDCOM. I've only done t
hisonce before to Larry Wilkey. Worked the first time.
Drop a line anytime. Let me know if you want an update of my GEDCOM on
ce Iget all the info into my program. May take a long time to get this don
e.
