ANOTHER EMAIL...with alot more info

it wasnt too long after my reply to mr Koop, that he emailed me back.
i didnt expect to have gotten such a quick reply. i figured hed process alot of the info i gave him and maybe sometime next week id have another email from him with a little more information.

he sent me a very LONG email...and it sounded as if alot of it was off the top of his head, perhaps he had notes sitting around.
he gave me more in depth info on the family line of ELDREDS

without going into the email as a whole, ill synopis it here for you.

mr Kooop believes that RICHARD T. ELDRED is the son of a SOLOMON/SALMON of NEW YORK

he hasnt been able to proove that fact as of this date, but thinks someone will have to see the last will and testement or probate records to know for sure.

several brothers names of the children repete for RICHARD T. ELDRED.
none of the other RICHARD ELDREDS whom live in NEW YORK had that as a factor.
and the location of SOLMON made the location of RICHARDS future wife easier.

mr koop has pictures of RICHARD T. ELDREDs grave in SAN PIERRE, INDIANA
(think to self, my grandmother was born in BRISBEE, INDIANA)
the tombstone is broken in half, but readable.
RICHARD T. ELDRED is buried with his wife:
HARRIET LOUISE MCRAY ELDRED HENDRYX

HARRIETS father (assumed) died young.
HARRIETS mother married: BENJAMAIN FRANKLIN MCRAY
mr Koop says " after RICHARD DIED HARRIET remarried ABRAHAM HENDRYX"
i believe he ment to say" after BENJAMAIN died harriet remarried ABRAHAM HENDRYX" the names make better sense that way.

mr Kopp states he has a picture of HARRIET with some of her children.

RICHARD and HARRIETS oldest son was Rev. OSCAR HORACE ELDRED a bretheren minister and farmer.
me Koop. is decended thru OSCAR HORACE ELDREDS line.

he states he has traced back in the family line from SOLMON ELDRED, as well. trying to find the connection from RICHARD and SOLMON, to be able to join the lines as one. hes traced as far back as the ealiest progenitor

mr Koop sis till trying to find a good contact in NEW YORK to locate the last will and testement or the probate of SOLMONs will.

he then stated hed be happy to share said information with my aunt and my uncle.

and was suprised to note that in all the searching of family lines i was a member of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints. (my grandmother was the first to join the church)

he uses the churches PAF system to do this geneology. (im still trying to familairize myself with it)

he then ends the email with a bit about the information and where its kept and makes not that he has about 20,000 names gathered!!!!

TWENTY THOUSAND!!!! i cant imagine having done so much geneology research that id aquire that much info about my family tree. AMAZING!!! hes very dedicated to this task.

i cant wait to get more info.

family tree as stated by mr Koop:

SOLMON ELDRED
-RICHARD T. ELDRED (related as son to SOLMON?)
married: HARRIET LOUISE BROWN MCRAY ELDRED HENDRYX
--HARRIETTEs mother was married to:
? ? BROWN (whom died young-assumed)
BENJAIMAIN FRANKLIN MCRAY (died)
ABRAHAM HENDRYX
---OSCAR HORACE ELDRED (RICHARD and HARRIETTEs oldest son)
----RAYMOND C. KOOP (author of email)

so that a start, and tomarrow there will be more to post about.

OUT OF THE BLUE EMAIL!!...the start of recording a family tree?

yesterday i got an email, that quite frankly, shocked me to some degree.

i originally thought it was a hoax, a spoof, a SPAM actually from some nigerian in africa

the email read:

SUBJECT: GERTRUDE LOUISA ELDRED (thats my grandmother)

Dear Michelle Alane Manning (my maiden name even!)
i believe i am related to you. i have done some research on the ELDREDS (my grandmothers fathers line). i believe your grandmother , GERTRUDE LOUISA ELDRED, descendent of LEONARD PETER ELDERED (her father), RICHARD T. ELDRED, etc. who are in my family tree.

i am a descended through RICHARD T. ELDREDS eldest son, OSCAR H. ELDRED.

i would be happy to share what i have with you for free.

RAY
(dr. raymond c. coop, ph.d
chaplain (retired) united states army
adjunct professor beacon university
"for God and country"

i was dumbfounded! i was in shock! i was sitting here, with my mouth wide open in dis-belief.

first, to have out of the blue an email concerning family history, second that came to me. i would have figured someone would have looked for my uncle or my aunt first. but i guess he went to the oldest childs child of my grandmother and was trying to work his way down till he found a source that would reply.

i now have MORE family...i hadnt even given it alot of thought to think that my grandmothers father had any kin anywhere.
now, i know.

i sent a reply forward to my aunt and uncle so they could see it for themselves and perhaps email mr Koop if they wanted to share any information they may know better than i myself may know.

all of this before my 40th birthday...

my grandmother was VERY keen on geneology, and i have no doubt she had something to do with this in the after-life somehow. it would be just like her to have done so.

heres the tree (his and mine combined):

MICHELLE ALANE (manning-maiden/carmichael-divorced 2006) WILLIAMSON (me)
-GAY JOANNE (suiter-maiden) MANNING (my mother)
-married: ROBERT ALAN MANING (divorced 1969?) (my father)
--GERTRUDE LOUISA (eldred-maiden name) SUITER (my grandmother)
--married: WILBUR RAYMOND SUITER My grandfather)
---PETER LEONARD ELDRED (my grandmothers father)
---married: i cant remember her fisrt name CONCHEN (my grandmothers mother)
----somehow related to: RICHARD T. ELDRED
-----OSCAR H. ELDRED (RICHARD T. ELDREDS oldest son)
------enter: RAYMOND C. KOOP (the author of the email)


so, now i have reason to really do my family geneology.
