These girls would be 3rd cousins to me.  It is important that I locate them regarding a common ancestor:  John Smith (no less)

Thelma Parker
Martha Parker
Dorothy Parker

I believe the girls' mother, Mary Ellen Parker lived at 1220 E. Ninth, Hutchinson and that her mother was Mrs. Joe Socha (Katie) and may have died in 1979.

Rhonda Borders February 23, 2005
Seeking to fill in holes in family tree of Elias Washington Jordan’s 5 children: Florence C. Jordan, Herschel Val Jordan, Mary A. Jordan Soper, Chloe Mary Jordan Borders, and May Jordan (Harder?).  Especially need obituary of Herschel V. Jordan about 192x. and his sister May Jordan (Harder?) who supposedly died while in Oklahoma for Herschel’s funeral.  I would guess this made the papers if May still lived in Reno Co. at that time.

Also seeking information on Soper family. Mary A. Jordan m. Socrates J. Soper and had 8 children: Susie, Ray J., Fred Lowe, Gale Raney, Herschel Vern, Elizabeth Faye, John M., and Ethelyn Soper.  Need marriages or obituaries for these children.
