Hello.  My husband's family is from Yuma County, Colorado (the town of Wray, specifically).  The last names are Ames and Baker.  I have enjoyed doing research on them.  These families are originally from Nebraska and Kansas.

Does anyone have any idea on where I can locate old death notes?  I am looking in the years past 1869 to 1880.  The last known location of the father and son were in the 1880 census in Jefferson Colorado.  I can not find anything on Isaac Stafford born abt 1840 in Ohio.  Moved to Colorado and had a son( George) abt 1869 (70).  George was next found in Fort Collins Colorado where he married a girl from Rock River Wyoming.  in 1891.  It was said that there was a child born about 1891 or 2, then my Husbands Grandfather Walter Roy in 1893.  George was said to pass away in Tie Siding Wyo. with the older child.  I know Georges wife was shown as widowed on a newpaper report as living with her parents in 1878 when she remarried.   I need to find out where in Colorado George was born as well as when and where in Colorado did his mother pass.   Thanks in advance for your help.

Well, there wasn't much love lost between my father and his sisters. He was the youngest and most of the sisters were married and had (large) families by the time he was born. Everyone of my father's generation is long dead, and these 1st cousins of mine would be in their 70's and 80's and most likely don't even know my father existed, let alone me. My father probably wouldn't have approved of all this digging up of old family dirt. ;-)

Never be afraid to face a cousin face to face, more than likely they will look like you and boy that is what is scary, seeing yourself in a total stranger.

Summer 2008 I was in Denver for a national dance competition, then in Berthoud visiting my sister-in-law. I arranged a day trip to Fort Morgan to visit the genealogy room at their little museum. My paternal grandparents had a homestead nearby around 1920, and some of my father's sister's families settled in the area. Over the course of about 4 hrs., I found obituaries, where family graves were located, visited the cemetery and located some of the graves. Next I went to the Courthouse, found the Homestead papers with my grandfather's name, the tax assessor's office located the land, and I set off outside of town and found the property where my grandparents farmed and my Dad lived until he was 6. I'm sure there's a lot more information there, and even living first cousins, but I didn't have the time (or the nerve?) to make the jump from research to face-to-face.

Does anyone know anything about the names and locations of brickyards in Denver around 1900? My grandparents lived with their 9 children on Cook Street. My grandfather worked at the brickyard, and my grandmother ran a boardinghouse for laborers (brickyard) in addition to taking care of her children.

I need to find death information on my great-uncle, Emil Weitenhagen. It is believed that he died somewhere in Colorado (probably Denver) sometime between 1934 and 1952. According to the 1930 census he worked for the railroad. Any help would be appreciated.
