LIKE MANY FAMILY STORIES, OVER THE YEARS I HAVE HEARD THAT MY FAMILY CAME FROM BRITIAN (UK). I KNOW THE MY FAMILY MOVED FROM THE OHIO VALLEY AND ILLINOIS. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH ANY FAMILY MEMBERS IN FLORDIA AS WELL. IT MAY BE THAT THESE WERE JUST FAMILY "STORIES" OR IT MAY BE THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I WILL APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN PROVIDE ME. AT AGE 78, I FIND THAT MY FAMILY MEMBERS DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF INTEREST IN THE RESEACH END OF THINGS. I DO WANT TO PASS ON TO THEM WHAT I KNOW.
MY GRANDFATHER, WILLIAM ALBERT CHICK (AMANDA MALVINA JONES) MOVED FROM iLLINOIS TO THE OKLAHOMA TERRITORTY BY COVERED WAGON.THEY SETTLED AND BUILT A HOTEL (ST. NICOLAS HOTEL) IN ALVA, OKLAHOMA WHICH OPENED IN 1907 AND WAS OPERATED BY THE FAMILY UNTIL MY GRANDMOTHERS DEATH IN 1939. THERE TEN CHILDREN, BERT OBERTON CHICK, JOHN FRANKLIN CHICK, QUAH ELIZABETH CHICK, MABEL LUCINDA CHICK, MARY A. (MOLLY) CHICK, GROVER CLEAVLAND CHICK, GILES BRYAN CHICK, ERIC FENTON CHICK, LOIS ALICE CHICK AND LEWIS ALBERT CHICK, IN THIS FAMILY WITH MANY OFF SHOOTS ON THE FEMALE SIDE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND INFORMATION INTO THIS WORLD OF FAMILY HISTORY. OCTOBER 19, 2005.
