Do you have "Freel-Wilson Genealogy" by Patrick Murray? He researched Freel origins from Maryland via the free state route. He prints his book 'on demand.'
Irene Tunnell's "Freel. O'Friel, Cousins and Kin' adds the far western Freels. There may be a few copies left.
We both descended from James Freel by different sons. My branch came through Iowa, Nebraska [Richardson Co], then Kansas [Nemaha Co].
I'm trying to identify pictures my dad and grandfather owned but never labeled. Most are snapshots from the '20's on and there are a few professional portraits. There are a few shots of older pictures in the family that no one can identify. Relatives or friends? I don't know.
Did you have Freels in that area in that time frame?
