I am currently researching the following families:
HENRY GILMORE (B.10/1/1824 in NY to KELSEY GILMORE & ELIZABETH SNIDER) AND SARAH MATHEWS (B.1/8/1831 in VA to WILLIAM MATHEWS & ELIZABETH HANNAH BICKERTON). Henry & Sarah's children were: Elizabeth, Mary Francis, Joseph, Charles, Herbert & Laura. Family resided in ILL. & MN.

ALBA (BERT) AUSTIN born in 1857 in Vermont was the son of LEWIS AUSTIN and ALZINA E. MUNGER. ALBA married MARY FRANCIS GILMORE (B.4/21/1852 in ILL). Their children were: Alice, Edna, Laura, Bertha, Stella, Pearl and Mildred. Family lived in MN & WISC.

ORANGE SCOTT COOLEY (SCOTT was B.4/5/1857 in Canada) & PEARL AUSTIN (B.3/27/1892). This family lived in SD, ND, MN.
ORANGE SCOTT was the son of PELEG COOLEY, JR & MARY COON. PELEG JR. was the son of PELEG SR. & MARTHA BASSETT.

Also researching my maternal grandparents' families: FRANK BIGELBACH (B.12/8/1874 In Luxembourg) and ELIZABETH WILLEMS (B.10/17/1879). Elizabeth was the daughter of NICHOLAS WILLEMS & ANNA MARIE SCHMIDT.

I would love to hear from other descendants of the above families.
