Thanks for writing. Our Wacha's are not the same branch, but I also noticed
a Van Housen in your tree. My grandmother was Geneva VanHousen (born 1910 in Schuyler), and her father was Myron VanHousen (born 1867 in Sterling IL) and his father was Daniel VanHousen (born 1819 in Lexington, NY). I wonder if your Olie was my grandmother's cousin?
As for the Wachas, My great grandmother was Anna Wacha (born 1881 in
Schuyler), and my great-great grandfather was Venell Wacha (no dates or
places)

Thanks for the info. If you have anything on the Van Housen name, let me
know.
