I do have the husbands but that is about it. So that is good you are taking this on. When you get your information on Ancestry, let me know and I will inform others as well when I talk about what I know about Virda which is not much. That will be when I post about Daniel’s death in 1915 and that is a ways away. This is so wonderful. I knew there were more cousins out there and I love meeting them. Tips and information is why I am writing these blogs. I have the links to major repositories on the side for you to check out. I did not blog my trip to Iowa that idea did not come till later. I will mention it and give tips as I go along. In Iowa the Historical Society is the biggy and that is in Des Moines and Iowa City. Also the Iowa Genealogical Society they are very good repositories.

My grandmother, Lola is her sister and Virda my Great grandfather. I am working on the Spracklin information and hope to have some of it synced to Ancestry. I have been to Brainard a number of times with my parents, when I was younger. I plan on stopping up there this summer with my two grand-daughters to do some more research… Any tips and information as to where to go would be greatly appreciated… lThanks.

HA! I am so glad to hear from you. I would love to share information. In time I will dig deeper into George A. Barclay’s siblings but that is not going to be for a while. I am in the early 1880′s and the siblings were not discovered till 1906 when I obtained Alexander Barclay’s probate file. This blog is a big and is going to take time to write all the information I have. You might want to visit my Massachusetts Meanderings and search for Barclay posts. I did do some work on Martha when I was there in Connecticut back in April 2011 just recently. I have not placed it on the Barclay blog yet my findings.

My interest comes from a neighbor of my family, Beulah Spracklin Harris. She was a niece of Amarilla Spracklin Barclay, and is in my family tree because of marriages, etc. but not a blood relative. I do however trace each person’s family as far as I can, and believe I found some information, relative to Martha M Barclay in CT. Hope to hear from you, Rob Stinson, Duluth, MN
