My cousin, by marriage, is looking for her father's parents. Alden Oren (Bill) Nevins was born in Hall County, Nebraska in Nov 1924. He was "farmed out" with other siblings after both his parents' death, and was raised by Lowell Sanford Nevins & his wife Lena, which are believed to be his aunt and uncle. Alden had a sister, Katherine, and Alden grew up with cousins Frances, Wilma (Cox), "Justine", and Norma (Snyder). At some time, some of the family ended up in Kittitas County, WA.
I am trying to find out if Lowell's brother, Edgar L. Nevins and his wife Bertha JACOBS Nevins are Alden's parents, but have not found a definitive link. I believe that Oliver Nevins is a family name. I do know William F. Nevins (b. 1853) & Mary CRAYS (Crayse?) Nevins (b. 1855) are Edgar and Lowell's parents, and that both were born in IL.
Thanks for any response, Nukechem57.
