re:
"I don't know where you foudn a Bertha STAFFORD and Charles PHELPS there is no trace in ANY census in the area, nor in cemetery records
3 counties "
I have taken Pictures in Kennedy Cemetery and came upon 2 pairs of Stones of Charles Phelps and Bertha Stafford Phelps AND Sumner and Ellen Stafford Smith. A Clerk at Poland City hall had just sent me info confirm burial of Charles Phelps and Bertha Phelps. However, she shows that he died 23 Nov 1909 in Blockville,NY and I saw a granite stone in Kennedy. I also found entried in 1930 Federal Census to be posted later.
re:
"in 1920 FAY is in POLAND Ny
he lives a few doors from brother Austin, Fay is 34 MARRIED but no wife here, probably divorced, no child either, his son Austin, should be about 3 not found "
I know that Fay is actually Austin James sons ( 1 of 5+ 2 daugthers) and is a farmer in the area. Fay and Mc Lellen(Austin's younger brother Mack [nickname]) worked together with Mack's grandson that parents separated/Divorced at age 4 ( per Telco interview 22 Nov 2002)
Austin died 16 August 1934 (Obits)
Kind of explains why Inez(Ina) Bell was transferred from Tucker/Drybrook to Levant since there is a combined stone for the Three of them
"Austin, Ina Bell, Viloa" The dates matched perfectly.
With this info I can now have some dates to look up at the Pendergast Library holding of newspaper on Microfilm
Thanks alot
How can I acquire index/info like your's and Donna's for my own library?
I still have more people in the area to lookup.
