I'm not related to the families detailed below but I've been asked to find a home 100+binders of family history research completed by LaNora (Davey) Nyquist, formerly of Vista, CA. This collection includes significant research on Davey, Godfrey, Snodgrass families that lived in the following Brown County towns: Everest, Hiawatha. Also resided in Beattie, Marshall, Kansas.

Would appreciate any contact info on living descendants or local family history associations that would be interested in this information.
