Request records of ancestry in Calvados Basse Normandy France 1500-1600
Hello Thomas! I’ve notified a records specialist about your request; they should be getting back to you shortly.
I cannot even begin to use this website. I have no idea when my paternal grandfather was born or where. I only know he married my paternal grandmother between 1898 and 1900; and I found record of my grandmother filing for divorce from him in October 1903 in Lawton, Oklahoma. I truly need to connect the correct man to her; and his name is very common among the Graham clan in Texas and Oklahoma regions. His name: Samuel Rayburn Graham. Married: Letha V. Fowler. Their only child, Ralph Waldo Graham, is my father.
On familysearch.org I found that S R Graham married Letha Fowler on 2/28/1900 in Wichita Co., TX [Texas Marriages 1837-1973]. Can’t find the couple on the 1900 TX census.
Cheryl, you’re amazing! Because the entire Fowler family lives in Oklahoma, I had not considered Texas. I will seek a copy of that marriage license; and then perhaps I can determine where S. R. Graham went after deserting my grandmother in 1902/03.
Thank you so much for your reply!
I found a mention some time ago that he had married a Roxy/Trixie/can’t remember her name but seemingly was divorced from her at the end of his life. Now, I need to determine if that fellow is, in fact, my elusive grandfather…perhaps a newspaper obituary? I’ll see.
Again, thank you so very much. If you run across any info on that Graham, please send it along to me. You’re a gem.

Love your dedication in helping people find their lost families. You are amazing, thank you all. CLARRY Hunter
Why your USA records never seem to improve with more data than years ago never ceases to distress me.
Having great fun indexing the South African records. Although I now live in France, and am English, I lived in South Africa for 20 years and am enjoying the memories of the Afrikaans language and the names and places that I used to know and love. Hoping it helps others find their families too. Thanks for the wonderful memories that indexing brings with it.
What a wonderful “resume”! I am still seeking my paternal grandfather, and I believe that many others will receive amazing blessings from your work there. Thank you for being so committed! Koleta Wells, Myrtle Creek, Oregon
All I got was the following message:
The website tried to negotiate an inadequate level of security.
So for me it’s not accessible.
I have found so much on this website! You have the records, but I need more specific areas! I guess Northern Ireland does narrow it down somewhat!!!
I have enjoyed Family Search , finding relations facts that are interesting.. I have a lot of trouble with Sicily / Italy as records there are kept by family church or local areas. Another interesting fact that could be included is occupation or title . Thank for your listings
you people are doing work for salvation of man,thanks
