Anna,

Thank you for your note. It's always nice to meet up with someone searching the same family! It looks like your husband's grandfather and my husband's grandfather were half brothers (same father, different mother). My in-laws currently reside in Piqua, Kansas, so I have been able to get some history from them. We have also gone to neighboring cemeteries in Piqua and have taken pics of relative's gravestones. I'll be happy to share what I have. You can email me directly at debbiekipp1@gmail.com
