Need any information on this family. I believe that George Root was a cousin to Ida and that they probably got married in Illinois. He may have been the son of Welcome Root and Sarina Dees. Can't place all the Root relationships between George and Ida. What happened to the family once they got to Topeka? I can be reached at, waterman67@adelphia.net.
