Daugherty Notes in Austria

When I get new family information from a source, I immediately add it to my Family Tree Program on my computer. Then the piles start growing, as I need to file that same info into hard-copy looseleaf notebooks. I save everything in them...you never know when helpful information might be found. Well, that's what I'm trying to do today, with way below zero temperatures outside.

I've got the notebook in front of me that I brought to Austria a year ago Sept. when visiting Randy and Diane McGirr. Together we organized some of the information we had all accumulated concerning the Daugherty/Pepper/DeLong families. Thought you might find it interesting what gets written down. By copying my notes, I might think about ways to dig deeper into some of the subjects. Here goes:

Try to get the addresses of Forrest, Dwan, Carol, Susan, and Gayle Dehaven. Done
Maybe write to Gen Dehaven Travis and see if she has any of Albert DeHaven's families addresses. Not done
Hazel Daugherty McGirr Quotes: (from Randy) "I'm too mean to go to heaven and too green to burn." and "We're just sitting here having a great time with a glass of wine. Who's We? Just me and the television."
Terri Johnson's death date: Jan. 13, 2006. Is Lynn Terri's full sister?
Find out Loni Teachout's husband's name and daughter's name. Did that. How did Rick Daugherty die? Found out.
Concerning Bill Daugherty and Mary Murphy - Mary's tombstone is in Hitchcock, SD, 1867-1927 Need to visit cem. this summer
Lillian Daugherty Fischer's death date - May 29, 2002
Kathy Taggert's children - Desiree b. June 27, 1973, Joselyn, Jan. 24, 1926, Health, Brent, Brady, & Amanda.
Get more of Clarence McGirr's poems.
Send Randy gravestone pictures of Wessington Cemetery.
Send Randy info on Lucius Carrington's father and mother. Did any Carrington girl die in 1908? Maybe check death records.
Send Randy Leif and Lindsay LaVang's birthdate information, also need Barb Geidel's sons info and Kathy Goehring's. Curt and Joyce Goehrings as well. Abi's children's info (Shelly's daughter)
Send Randy Leigh's website.
What is Patsy Daugherty's maiden name? How about Ellery Daugherty's birthdate?
Ask Mom about Cliff McGirr.
Share info about Edward Armstead, Emily Ralston,Louisa Logan & GGGUncle George Daugherty.
Ask Mom about Zoa Marsh Daugherty - where is she from? Anything about Uncle Dick Daugherty & Leland ?
Look up LaCrosse orphanage (1945-46) about Gary Belknap, Leland's son. His father was Clinton Belknap from Minneapolis and grandparent George Belknap.
Ask Juanita about Edna Place Pesiska.
Write Gen about Thomas Glen DeHaven and the stolen cattle.
Helen J. Gohring DeHaven, born 1903 in Delmont, parents were Simon and Wilhemina Roesler.

Well...you get the idea. Just writing these things down in this blog has helped me remember things accomplished and actions that need to be taken.
