March 7, 2002 Kathleen O'Kelley writes: Fran, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you and the work you are doing to make the early Crawford County, history available from these early newspapers. They cover so much of the personal life styles of the people. Their joy at the birth of a child and the sadness when the child, mother, or other family member died. Where the little one room schools were built, and who the teachers were. Also what was going on in the business areas, the churches, the political world; as well as the courts and who the jury members were. I have been able to verify some family stories, that I had been told, by some of the old family members that are long gone. These books are priceless to me and my research. Every one searching their family, or who enjoys history should have them.

Beckey Leggett writes: Fran, Just have to tell you, I just finished reading two of your books and am certainly going to order all of them. The history of how people lived in the 1800's is so interesting. Even if you're not from the area these books would be very interesting. Love what you're doing and thanks for offering them to the public. Beckey |

November 17, 2001 Donnie Stagner writes: Hi Fran! Received your book on 11/16/01, and you were right in saying the orders are slow in arriving in a timely manner. There are some information contained in this volume that will help in establishing a time and place as to a relative of a ancestor. Wish to thank you for this research! Have been researching our Family Genealogy for the past nine years, which is about 90% completed. This research goes back to 1714 Germany to present. Barnabas and Gibson were cousins. Gibson was the son of William Stagner born ca1768 in North Carolina emigrated to Crawford County, Arkansas from Warren County Kentucky in 1821 and died 1830 in Crawford County. William was a brother to my gr-gr-gr grandfather Nathan Stagner, born 1770 in Rowan County, North Carolina, son of John Stagner, born ca 1743 in PA., son of the emigrant, Johann Bernhardt "Barney" Stagner; born 1714 in Palatinate, SE Germany in Oberauerabach, Rhineland Pafiz, arrived aboard the small merchant ship Thistle at Philadelphia with his wife; Anna Elisabetha Findler. They were married ca 1732 near Winterbach Germany. There was one son born to this union in Germany; Johann Jacob Stagner, born 25 July 1737; baptize 28 July 1737, died 22 October 1737. Information taken from the Battwelier-Dellfeld Lutheran Church register for the town of Winterbach. My research as led me to complete a 600 page Family Group and 284 page by 11X17 that documents this research. Many brick-walls and dead ends was encountered. But my feelings are in each family there is one who seems called to find our ancestors, and to be the Story Teller. You are chosen to be the Story-Teller of your Ancestors! Good luck and keep up your needed research, |
