 Eric LichtenbergerThanks Marjorie...By chance do you have a hard copy of the Farmer's Reliable Directory of Farmers and Breeders? If you could make a copy of the pages with the Spinner information and send them my way, I could reimburse you. I believe Doris had two brothers, Robert L (born 1924) and Edmund F.
 Eric LichtenbergerWill do, Thanks Jeff....I came across that Past and Present of Montgomery County book a couple of years ago and that is what sparked my interest.
 Jennifer BlochHello Eric, we are related! My name is Jennifer and I am Edmund's youngest child. My grandfather Leo and your grandmother Celia were siblings!
My father's siblings are Robert (Bob) who recently passed away, Doris (married name Meisner), and Rita (married name Chaudoin). Of this group of siblings, Rita is the only one still alive and she lives in MS.
I spoke with my mom and she said while she never met Celcia, she does remember my dad talking fondly of her. :)
I see you mentioned you would be visiting St. Agnes cemetary at some point. I would like to mention you may want to check out St. John's cemetary in Coffeen (a small town next to Hillsboro) as well. A lot of our relatives are buried there, including my grandpa Leo and Uncle Bob.
Perhaps we can piece together some of the branches of our family tree!
Eric LichtenbergerJennifer, I have names and some dates following the Spinner line from Frank Cyriak Spinner directly back to Hans Spinner in the early 1600's, in addition to my line forward from Cecilia Spinner (Nees). My mother is Marcia Nees, one of Cecilia's and Francis Nees' children.
Jennifer BlochEric, that is great that's you've traced it back that far. If you wouldn't mind sharing, I would love to have that information. Let me know and I will send my email address to your inbox. If you have more questions about Celia or that line of family forward, I may be able to help or at least point you in the right direction.
Eric LichtenbergerSure, you could email me and I'll email you back with the Spinner information. My email address is eric.lichtenberger@gmail.com. I am really curious about the Spinners who stayed in the Hillsboro area and how they are related to me.
