The world family tree that has the Kiser & McElrath family trees on them are on Volume 55 Tree#984 & 985.I will post an updated tree with all the new info I have found lately as soon as I get it all typed in. My grandmother was Ada Lucille Kizer b.Aug 12,1907 in Wolf City, OK/Pittsburg, TX. Where is Wolf City? Is it in Texas or Oklahoma? She passed away in Fort Worth Texas where most of my Cloud family relatives live around on Nov 1, 1993. She had 7 children, Johnnie Earl Cloud(my dad b.Feb 8, 1928,d.Sept 30, 1971,buried Oct 3, 1971 in Forrest Hills Cemetary, Forrest Hills, TX, Joe Neal Cloud d?,Vera Onita Cloud Goforth Van Reijendam(living), Robert "Bobby" Lee Cloud (living),Donald Wayne Cloud b. Mar1, 1936(living), Julia Juanita Cloud Horschem, Orville Lee "Jimmy Dale" Cloud (living). My grandmother's parents were John Charles "Oscar" Kizer b.Sept 2, 1884& Susie Ann McElrath m.May 8, 1904 in Hunt County, Texas. She had 2 sisters & 1 brother: Bertha 'Bert" Kizer Unknown b. Aug 27, 1909, Jessie Kizer(male)b. Mar 25, 1905, & Gwendolyn Kizer b. Dec 30, 1912 d?There is a Kizer family Reunion in Cisco, TX by Abilene the third week of August every year. Other family members are from Bastrop and Midland/Odessa area. My Cloud grampa's tree is the one I have little or no info about. He was born in Alamo, TN on Oct 2, 1891 & was supposed to be the town blacksmith in Amherst, TX until he retired & bought a farm in Hico, TX when I was about 4 years old and died on Feb 27, 1966 on his farm in Hico. I don't know his father's name but he was married to Judy Melvina Barber or Barbour. If anyone knows anything about him or his father or mother, I could use some help in locating info in this leg of my family tree. My Mom's family tree includes the Lavender's, The Feagley's, The Lamb's, & others. My dad's family includes Cloud's, Kiser's & my grandpa was supposed to be 1/4 or 1/2 Cherokee & my great Grandmother who was supposed to be 1/2 Cherokee was a Thacker after she remarried.
