Duchess of Weaselskin

Thank goodness NW Okie left these short-nosed Duchess and Sadie Pugs back in the cool Colorado Rockies while she headed East towards the prairies of Kansas and Oklahoma. We hear that a few drops of moisture makes the air heavy and too muggy to breathe.

NW Okie's Ancestry Corner

Last Friday in the early morning hours of Mountain Daylight Time we headed East towards the Kansas and Oklahoma Summer prairies. We did get to reconnect with our horses, especially Nugget, my favorite palomino. Nugget is special because he was named after a palomino that my dad raised from a colt when we were just young children.

Clara Gorsching (1926-1929)

In the OkieLegacy, Vol. 7, Iss. 30, dated 7/30/2005, Deanna Griffin (Gorsching) had an Inquiry concerning Clara Gorsching. It has been about six years since then and I do not know the email of Deanna today, but maybe someone out there reading this might be able to help these Gorsching descendants. If you do not want your email address posted for everyone to view, I would like to help you make the connection. If Deanna, Richard and Ciera would like to exchange emails, you could go through my email address (Linda - Email: mcwagner.lk@gmail.com) and I could hook each of you up together.
