I am trying to locate where my great great grandfather lived in Iowa. He left Wilkes Barre, Pa. sometime between 1840 and 1850 for Iowa. He most likely had other family with him including a James Hancock and a Mary Hancock. John left Iowa again sometime around 1853 for California. It is thought that he left other relatives behind. Is there someone out there that could look for John, James or Mary Hancock on an 1850 Census, and see if they could locate where they lived for me. I would sincerely appreciate the help.

Looking for information about Louis Tinken, b. ca. 1868, Miami Cty KS, As of 1932 he lived in Humboldt, IA. His mother, Gesche Gerken Tinken was widowed in Miami Cty in 1870. Cemetery records there do not list her. Perhaps she moved to Humboldt w/ son Louis. I know the name of one of Louis's children, youngest daughter Jessie Tinken Desmidt. I would appreciate any information e-mailed to my address. --Mary Ann
