Everyone, please welcome "elkgrandkid" another new member which brings us up to 161. We are on a roll here. Welcome 'elkgrandkid". Join us often and let us hear from you on whatever you can think to talk on.
Welcome, elkgrandkid. It would be interesting whose grandkid you are if you are willing to tell us. Please join us often and help me keep Janet and Teresa is their places.
Janet, I think this is our 162nd member. Look out, Dodge city, we are gaining on you. Three in one day and the day isn't over yet.
Glad you joined us. As the old adage goes............"the more, the merrier." Enjoy!
Hi, I didn't expect to get a welcome. (But it's nice!)
I'm a bit disappointed. I saw this advertised in the Good News Community Newspaper for Elk County, but it looks more like Howard area?
Anyone from around Longton/Oak Valley way?
I'm a Reynolds-Rothgeb/Crowell grandkid.
Anybody here from the same lines?
I have a number of biographies of folks that lived in the Longton/Oak Valley areas, that I just haven't gotten posted yet. The genealogy and obituary boards are an ongoing and endless project. We would welcome any genealogy/obituary material that pertains to this area, if you will please post it, as it would help us out, and others, too.
The genealogy and obituary boards were created only about three months ago, so we have a long road ahead of us.
Doesn't it make you feel proud just knowing you are among the first from the Longton/Oak Valley to join in the efforts of preserving the history? :) :)
Please don't give up on this forum. It did start out as a Howard forum, and still is basically that. For the originators, we give thanks. They are a very generous crowd and have opened several of the boards, especially THE GOOD OLD DAYS, GENEALOGIES, and OBITUARIES to those of us with interests throughout all of Elk County and several of us are starting to post articles relating to the other towns and communities. If you have items relating to Longton/Oak Valley, I think you would be welcome to share here.
Very well said, Dan. :) Thanx!

You betcha you can post things on anything that you want pertaining to any and all counties. In fact as I type this ..I do believe Kjell is drafting something to "put on the table" to all of you ...so be ready to give your opinion and be very honest when you do please.
We will need to hear from everyone on this...
We may have created this forum and meeting place..but it is all of you who keep it alive and support it.
So we welcome all of your thoughts..

Oh stop your pouting... I was just kidding you~~

Ok, I'll think about it for awhile and see what I can post without "stepping on clan toes".
I'm thinking maybe I can post some general memories.
I'm going to start a thread about "geology of Elk County". That should be pretty safe.
elkgrandkid.........do you have any connection to Glenn Crowell that used to live in the Longton area?
elkgrandkid,
Are you by any chance related to the Rothgeb that was a county commissioner at one time? He lived north of Longton and was one of the nicest men I had ever met.
I'm the granddaughter of Anna and Charlie Crowell and Viola and Frank Reynolds. Viola is the daughter of Nettie and Ira Rothgeb.
My name is Rita Gail (Crowell) Burleson, but I like to go by Ritagail.
I might see things a bit differently than most of my relatives, so, I'm trying to be careful with my posts. (Is that vague enough yet saying things ok?) That's why I started the thread on geology/botany/wildlife.....thought it might be neutral ground.
I've sent this link to a few relatives on both sides, and told them to forward it to others. I hope some will show up!
elkgrandkid,
You can post anything you want and say anything you want as like as long as you remember that this is a family oriented forum. We have young men, like bowieboy, who is still in high school who reads this forum, so we try to keep it clean. However; if you are afraid of stepping on someone's toes, don't be. I step on Ms. T's toes all the time and I just don't care. ha ha :angel:
And I loved your string on geology etc.
elkgrandkid.........just relax, enjoy and be yourself. Remember.....we're hillbilly's and don't put on "airs" for nobody! ;D

I'm sorry I socked you~
**Jeeesssseee** ::)
You'uns is just plain silly!!!
Well, I sent The Relatives an "invitation" blind carbon copied.....including to myself and it came to my e-mail, so they probably got it.
I'm tempted to post "Going Once".....etc., and then after "Going Three Times" POW!! I'll just post the whole danged family history any way I see it!!!!!!
ROTFLOL
ohhhhh meeeeeeee.................
Must be some mighty dark secrets in that thar family.....
I for one am looking forward to reading about it.

Yes. I can see the movie title now. "The Dark Side of elkgrandkid". See what her family refuses to acknowledge. Learn about the evil side, the dark side, the criminal??? side of elkgrandkid as only her family knows and we are about to. Playing in theatres near you.
(Dramatic Sigh)
No, unfortunately nothing majorly juicy, just me facing reality. (I LOVED Teresa's smiley that's rubbing it's hands together.)
Lots of sad events, though.
