Thank you for your message! I had long forgotten that this posting existed!! ...and we do have a beautiful story of finding this family and later found the paternal side as well! The adopted one (our father) died a year ago, but did get to experience the joy of having siblings on both sides! It was a blessed finding the missing link!

Thanks for your posting!

Since you are needing your maternal family history, you might consider taking the mtdna test from Family Tree Dna. I took the mtdna because I am female and wanted to know more about my mother's mother's line. However, the Family Finder test confirmed for me as a female that I have cousins from my mother's paternal line of Parkers. Hope this helps.

I am looking for Joseph Bailey Shrader or Joe Bailey Shrader or Joe Shrader who was born in 1907 in Collin County Texas. He was on the 1930 census as living in Hansford County, TX.

Could you please find out any information through newspaper or obits. It was in 1945. Thank you so much.

Re: Hawkins Obit

WarmGale — 2009-08-29 23:07:49Z

Thank-you for the information and the time you spent. Do you have access to an obituary for her? I believe that her Dad on the death certificate is listed as Jeff Lee Jordan.

Re: Hawkins Obit

MarionParker99 — 2009-08-29 02:34:15Z

The death certificate of Lois Ellen Jordan Hawkins lists the informant as P F Hawkins. Her parents were Jeff Lee Hawkins, born in Kentucky, and her mother was Mary Margaret Howell, born in Texas.

The death certificate lists her birth as 18 April 1901 in Young County Texas. Of course he death was 4 Mar 1956 in Hansford County, Texas. Her death was a suicide by hanging.

Lois Jordan is found with her parents and siblings on the 1910 census of Young County, Texas, ED 276, p 290. Her father is 47 and her mother is 43. The children are:

Annie 19, Lola M 16, Medora 15, Jewel 13, Jesse 11, Lolis 8, Vera 7, Jeff 5, Allan 3, Grady 1. Allan and Grady are the only males.

Lois E and P F Hawkins are found on the 1930 census of Hansford County, Texas. She is listed as his wife.

Jared,

I just came across this page and don't know if you will ever get this. My name is Tim Fisher and I lived across the street from Dr. Hackley. I can tell you he was a concerned, kind and compassionate man who loved his golf. He, Effie and my parents (Pete and Alta Fisher) would go out almost weekly to play. I can’t say enough to describe just how much I respected him.

If you would like more information, my email is scubadoc51@yahoo.com.

Thanks very much. I would like the story. Could you send to me, flake@tstar.net, if it is to much to post on this site. I am assuming he was in the old courthouse. When was the new one built?

Re: McNabb, District Clerk of Hansford County, TX

2006-06-24 21:40:19Z

He came to Hansford Co. in 1898 and was elected county clerk 1906 for a eight year term. so i'm assuming 1906-1914.
there's a story in our history book if you'd like it.

My uncle by marriage was Elmo Jarvis and was married to
Elizabeth Powers her fathers ranch wa NorthWest of Spearman Tx . Elmo was a Dentist and started his practice with dental chair in
a wagon plying his practice throughout the Panhandle. Later
settled in Perryton Tx and died in the early fifties. He had two children, Jerold and Rosamond. He is buried about seven miles east of Perryton in the old town of Ochletre. I will bet he
is related to Ollie Jarvis.

Olivette Lucille Hancock Noland

diggingforroots — 2006-04-02 02:17:18Z

The family of one adopted Roy Castles (DOB: 10-9-29) is attempting to find the birth parents and family information. The only information known to us are the birth mother: Olivette Hancock, giving birth to a boy in Fort Worth, Texas. Olivette Lucille Hancock Noland is the closest we have found thusfar in our search.

Any info provided would be greatly appreciated. E-mail would be preferred. Thanks so much!

Re: Olivette Lucille Hancock Noland

diggingforroots — 2006-04-02 02:17:18Z

Hi Gary.

To make a long story short, I began searching for Olivette about two years ago, because Olivette Hancock was the signature of the birth mother on my dad's adoption papers from 1929 in Forth Worth. My search eventually led to Mary Jane in Pearland. Mary and I are friends and she considers me her nephew as I consider her my aunt. She and my dad met in March of this year and had a great visit. I plan to meet her for the first time this summer. Mary Jane is a caring woman who I am proud to be associated with. The stickler with this is that we can't find the final piece of the puzzle to prove beyond any doubt that she and my dad are half siblings. We did a mail order DNA test that was negative. Mary is convinced the test was wrong and says Dad definitely favors the Douglas clan as do I. Anyone who might know something about Olivette's past is gone. All we know is she "went off to" beauty school when she was 21 to 22 years old. We don't know where she went, but the overwhelming circumstantial evidence lines up with my dad's birth date.

My wife has started a family tree on the computer that includes the Hancock and Douglas families.

I guess if all this is true, you and I would be 2nd cousins.
If you'd like to see what we have on your family tree, we would glad to send you what we have to date. I remember MJ saying you live in West Texas??? We lived in Midland for several years and naturally, still have a little flatlander in us.
We live close to Denton now. I work for what used to be Parker and Parsley in Midland and now we are Pioneer Natural Resources in Irving.

God Bless.

Paul Castles

By the way, I'm 47 and Dad is 74. My mother is deceased.

Re: Olivette Lucille Hancock Noland

diggingforroots — 2006-04-02 02:17:18Z

Hey, I remember Jackie's name, but it's been so long I can't picture her. I'll check around with my Midland friends. They are sure to know her. Small world, eh?

Re: Winn family

tdouthitt — 2006-03-27 16:28:42Z

Trixie was born in Bates Co., MO and my grandfather was listed with her family on the 1900 census. Then in 1910 and 1920 the Winn family was in Beaver Co., OK.. Trixie was in Hansford Co. in 1910, 1920, 1930.
Do you know if the twins are still living, I would love to get in contact with them to see if they have any information ?
Thanks

Re: Hansford County

2006-02-13 17:12:35Z

Hello Benjamin

Saw your response and was intriqued by the long-line from southwest England.

My wife's surname is Hansford and her family comes from a small lakeport town in Ontario called Midland and goes back perhaps 150 or more years there. It used to be a naval base in the war of 1812.

It is a rare name in Canada. Is there a website or information on the Hansfords of England, Wessex, Cornwall etc?

Cheers
