looking for help on how to start my search...
My mother is Christine Swinney(Friend)b.1947, daughter of Ray Buell Friend b.1922 and Mildred Gladis Friend(Cook) b.1924, gdaughter of Ira Friend and Edna Friend. My gfather has been out of town so im still trying to get further info. Both my grandparents grew up around Ava/Thornfield Mo. area. Would appreciate help as to where to look. Not sure but my gfather use to have a written family history but havent seen it since my gmother passed. My gfather also had three sisters, Faye b.1922, Euletta b. 1924(90% sure), and Geneva b. (?)

Annette, I am glad to see you are helping others here. I was being to feel like the Lone Ranger. Don't worry about the grammar and spelling, if you post something people need they will figure out what you are saying.

I think I spend far too much time doing this, but I love trying to help others. I know the thrill of the chase and finally finding answers.
I look at the this way..........the alternative is shopping ;D

thanks for the post annette1, ray is my gfather, he just got back into town and i got from him the written family records he has. As soon as i go thru them i will post it. and yes the duckworth stuff would be great. Hope to have all the records i have retyped within the next few weeks. I also trying to contact a cousin who is suppose to have the line all the way back to the 1400's for Friend and 1600 for Duckworth and Stephenson.
