The Making of Prairie Roots - Part Two

While laying in bed early this morning I got to thinking that I really missed several people on yesterday's blog who have helped make Prairie Roots Newsletter so important. Today I'm adding to my list and will also make mention of some directions that I'd like to go for subject matter.

My continuation of people that have been positive writers have been; nieces, Kendra Swanson and Karissa Swanson Moore, and Serena Hostvet; Linda Daugherty Marcus; Bob Wakefield; Johnson cousins Gwen Cleveland, Leigh Slayden, Shelly Saffer & Pam Rounseville; Deanne Rowen, brother Marlin Hostvet and sister-in-law Kay Brathol Hostvet; Norma DeHaven; Jackie McNeil Merrell; Lorne DeLong; Aunt Maria Daugherty; Juanita Pesicka; Col. Jack Stevens; Robert Enkey; Marilynn McNeil Hershly; Jan Hostvet Creps; Nina Moller Wynia; Verna Runge Yarnall; Linda Keehner; Charlotte Paulson; Lisa Hostvet LaVang; and Gayle and Scott Klar. I'm sure I've missed many contributors, but you get the idea...there are quite a few people represented here and in yesterdays blog. It's rather nice to know that interest in Prairie Roots is so extensive.

Here is my "want list", of people and historical events that I'd like to know more about. I'm hoping that writers will come forward that can share some light on these subjects.
I want to hear from the son of Elizabeth DeHaven Burton
Hoping that Ernest Meier will call again and that his son will also contact me, opening up a whole family of Carringtons
Would like to hear from Pat Stirret and enoy her information on Lizzie Carrington's famiy.
Hoping to hear from Clarence McGirr's children.
Would like Linda Marcus to write an article on her father, Ivan Daugherty.
Need an article on Uncle George Daugherty
Need to include the partial autobiography by Irene Carrington Daugherty.
Hoping that someone will write about Virginia Daugherty Perzynski.
More about Hugh Carrington's family.
Need a Parmely family member to update us on that family.
Someone to send informatin on Doris Deaver (Mildred Carrington's daughter).
Someone from Dorothy Daugherty's family to write some history.
The same for Gladys Carrington Phillips and Charlie Daugherty.
Would like a letter from Gen DeHaven Travis's son.
Hoping that Jackie McNeil Merrell will share memories of her mother, Helen.
A bit about Frank Daugherty would be great.
More information on Mamie Wilson would make an interesting story
More letters concerning the DeLong family.
Any correspondence on the Pepper family.
Publish Uncle David's memoirs.
More Pesicka history.
Really early Daugherty history.
Update on the newest generations of children in all families.
Memories of the Enke family.
Correspondence with Nedra Daugherty Springer's children.
Correspondence with relatives of William Henry Daugherty's siblings.
Lots more Wilson history,

This are just a few ideas that I can come up with at the moment. I'll be adding more later. Are there any readers out there that can assist me in these endeavors?
