"It is a real joy seeing the blog being read in various locations throughout the world. Maybe some of the readers would be so kind as to add some notes of their own. The following is listed for general information:

LAFOE - Edward Egbert LAFOE was born in Tyrone County, Ireland cir. l837, married Eliza BYRNE, in Dundee, Scotland in 1866, emigrated to the United States cir. 1870 and died in Northview, MO. USA in 1928. He is buried in Welch Cemetery, Webster County, MO, along with some of his immediate family.
They raised three daughters and four or five sons? Thanks in large part to Harriet LAFOE, this is fairly
well documented.

One of the sons, Lewis (or Louis?) LAFOE was born Nov. 21, l867 in Kiblarchan, Renfrew, Scotland. He married Laura Francis NASH on Sept. l9,l893. Her dob 11-??-1872, in Texas. In l920, they were living in Peabody, KS. She died in Peabody, KS on July 10,1939

One of Lewis (or Louis?) and Laura's sons, Leo F. LAFOE was born July l894, in Strafford,MO. He was inducted into the U.S. Army 4-13-l918, in Springfield, MO. His Army S/N is 473,770

The 1920 census shows him living in Springfield, MO
The l930 census shows him living in Los Angeles, CA

MADDEN - This family history prior to the Civil War (1861-1865) is sketchy, often times contradictory and
mostly unconfirmed. David Harve MADDEN (1878-1961) had eight siblings living in the 1900 Census.
His death certificates show parents as James MADDEN and Margaret WILLIAMS
His brother Denzil's (1872-1942) show parents as J H MADDEN and Anna NEWMAN
Folklore has it our ancestry came from County CORK IRELAND but when they came is subject to debate.
Robert MADDEN's family history booklet has an introduction and a complete copy is attached.

FELIN-FELLIN family history shows Jake (also other first names used) being born in Austria and coming to the U.S. in the 1880's. One of his brothers settled in Pennsylvania and another reportedly returned to Austria. He died in 1934 and is buried in the Marshfield, Webster County MO Cemetery.

Any and all additions, corrections, etc. will be appreciated.

Joe also sent an additional file, "Madden Book Introduction," which we have yet to know how to access. We're working on it.
