Under Construction
The genealogy pages of Xanadu's Editor/Writer subsist in the
following realms:
- Dear Martha, a collection of letters passed down by
great-grandparents John and Martha Thomas, written mostly in Ontario between 1867-1882.
- Genealogies and histories of the Grandparents which can also
be accessed via their four names:
- A. Margaret Amelia Holsinger Payne, 1889-1984, the mother of
the author's mother. Born: Cottonwood Falls, Kansas; Died: San Diego, California.
- B. Charles Elfrey Payne, 1880-1947, the father of the mother.
Born: Bonaparte, Iowa; Died: San Diego, California.
- C. Nell Jane Cogswell Thomas, 1890-1963, the mother of the
father. Born: Lincoln, Kansas; Died: Alameda, California.
- D. William Morris Thomas, Sr., 1888-1950, the father of the
father. Born: Chessley, Ontario; Died: Alameda, California.
- Descendants of the four grandparents, 20th genealogical
century data and family history tales of parents, aunts and uncles, brother,
cousins, in-laws, and "out-laws." ;-)
- Descendants of the ancestors, genealogical data and
family histories of cousins beyond the first remove. YOU, web-searching genealoger,
are invited to your connection(s), link(s), and history!
These genealogy pages are inspired by and dedicated to my cousin Sandra Smith,
our local family's busiest genealogist, a granddaughter-in-law of Margaret Payne, and
the premier researcher and source of data for that grandmother's lineage as included
herein. May Sandra live long and prosper!
