- My husband's great grandfather was James Frank LaLone, Amity, IA. His first wife was Eve Pierson. We believe they were married in MI. Frank (he used Frank, not James) was born in New York. His obit said he was born in Ogden, NY but family tradition says he was born on LaLone Island. One census states his father was born in Fr. Canada and mother born in Eng Canada. Have you done any research on this family?

Jim,
Our small mention is on page 194...7a is my Grandfather Durham, but there were 10 children not 3 and his Mother spelled her name as Tinkess. I had no idea their actual name was Donges until I met Jim Tinkiss and he told me that you had done a wonderful background on this branch back to 1601 in Germany..I only have what he has in the book. I am quite facinated as there are a lot of spots to fill in. Amanda was the daughter of Davina Bush (and of course Barney) and I can go back centuries on Davina. Your Grandparents and Mother are good looking people. Jim did such a great job. I also now have a new little twig to add to our tree....Grayson James Urquhart arrived at 10:30 Aug. 30, our 4th Grandson but first Urquhart. Sharon

Jim
My Great Grandmother was Amanda Tinkess married to My G Grandfather George Edward Wells. Jim Tinkess gave me a copy of the book he did but our family line from Barney Tinkess he had little on. I was born not far from the property given to the original Donges (Tinkess) at Osnabrouck Centre. I lived approx. 15 miles west of there and this summer was on the road roughly where we figure the Tinkess family lived. I took pictures of of any Tinkess headstones that I saw but haven't uploaded them all as yet. Sharon
