Hi Julie,
My name is Karen Morrell, and I grew up and still live in Linden, Iowa.Now how's this for a kick, my grandfather, William Roy Morrell married Hazel Almedia Foster in (or approximately)1927 or 1928.She grew up in the area of Scranton and Churdan, Iowa.One of her nephews still lives on the family homestead outside of Scranton the last I knew. One of my dad's cousins, Geri Bayles, did up the Foster family geneology back to Bigby and Halton, England; with dates of 1762 through about 1850.If you are interested in seeing the whole chart, I'll be glad to type it up for you over my winter break from college.It's about a week away.
Now, just to make your world a little smaller; my oldest son, Kevin Meredith attends Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa.He loves it there.
The many connections amazed me as I read your message.
I hope to hear from you soon,
Karen
