I am chasing down my fathers side of the family in Burlinton Iowa. Supposedly my Dads father Bert Eads worked on the railroad around 1920 to 1932. The Family has lived in Burlington since right before the turn of the century. My Gr.Grandfathers name is Rollie Eads.He married Vivian M Mackey in 1913. They had several kids. Rollie had some brothers that live there or did. One of them is Harvey Eads. Harvey was married to May. They had two Daughters that I know of from 1880 census. 1: Dorthy Eads who was the oldest became a teacher there in Burlington.2 daughter was Virginia Eads. Thought maybe someone would know of this family & could shed some more light on the situation. I had searched for a long time for these relatives and are almost to a block in the wall again. All the help in the world is appreciated. Feel free to e-mail me @ eadsferret@yahoo.com. As I said thanks for any imfo.
