Hello! I am someone who has been interested in the family history since I was in college and before.My name is Susan Bailey and my husband is Douglas Kruest.I've just today (1/3/98) purchased the Family Tree Maker, and have spent the afternoon entering over 400 names, mostly on the Bailey side. Names I'm looking for: BAILEY:especially the ancestors of George Byrd Bailey, who married Elizabeth Galford in Pike County, OH, sometime in the 1870's or 1880's.He was in the Civil War, enlisted 4/22/1861, into Co D-22 Regt of Ohio.He was in Libbey Prison during 1862, re-enlisted after being paroled, and was discharged 5/27/1865. We have a family disagreement as to whether the ancestors were Quakers from Pennsylvania or of unknown religion from Virginia. George's father was believed to be John Bailey> not an uncommon name. KRUEST: We have very little information on my husband's people. Father is George Russell Kruest, born 10/17/1917 in Youngstown,OH.He was the 3rd "second son of 3" in succession. BURGET:Sarah Jane Burget is listed in some archives (including my Tree Maker file) as having 2 sisters.However, her grandson, my father, said she told him all she had was 2 brothers. All of the above are from Ohio, although the Kruests could have come from Pennsylvania previously. Please Email to [email protected] if you can fill in any missing dates or information that you spot in my files, and thank you!! Susan B Kruest
