      >I do have a David M Girten b. 6/24/1951 in Union Co, son of Paul M Girten and Agnes Loretta Greenwell, dau of Herman Joseph Greenwell and Mary Eileen "Ellen" Beaven. This would be the line of Heman Joseph Greenwell and Barbara Ann Schneider. Think this family move to IL, Paul Girten's obituary from the Union Co Advocate states that he is buried in Highland Memorial Cemetery in Mt Carmel, Wabash Co, IL and it lists a son David and his wife Jeanette of Noblesville, IN amongst others. No marriage for David in Jeanette in KY at leat not from 1972 to 2002.

My "Girten" family tree branch traces back as follows: David Maurice > Paul Milton > Francis Dillion > Valentine Austin > Charles > James. The Paul Girten family moved to Mt. Carmel, Illinois about 40 years ago and my mother, Agnes Loretta, still resides there. As Bob notes in his email, Dad is deceased and buried in Highland Memorial Cemetary in Mt. Carmel.

      > A couple of weeks ago, while the Agnes Girten clan was together to celebrate her 80th birthday, we compiled the attached file to share with Mr. Nelson in order to bring his information up-to-date for the Paul Girten branch. Doing this spiked my interest in tracing more of my family history. That is when I started to see if there was information available related to my mother's family, the Greenwells.
      >
      > Mike, in one of your messages you did correctly identify my Greenwell family's branch. My mother is Agnes Loretta Girten daughter of Herman Joseph Greenwell and Mary Eilleen Beaven-Greenwell. I have copied the info you provided below. I've also added a few additional notes related to nicknames, the spouses and two more children not currently listed in your information.
