Ancestors

Summer of 1928
My great grandmother Mary Deal Nugent
about 70 years of age.

My great grandmother Mary Deal was born in

Shawnee lands near the Cahokia Mounds in Illinois.

She married William J Nugent on Aug 19, 1878

in Shelby County, Indiana.

Their nine children were:

Gertrude

Phoebe

Lilly B. born July 1879

Ollie E. born July 1882

Rhoda A. was born November 24, 1884

and married Wilson Wright August 2, 1905

and married William Wright December 8,1905

and then many years later, Frank Weintraut

Viola G. born October, 1894

Edna O. was born November 15, 1895

and married William Nave May 1, 1914

Savilla Pearl born June 1892

James H. March 1899

Summer of 1962
My grandmother Bertha Nugent Weintraut
about 76 years of age in Spencer, Indiana.

My ancestors were Nugents, Deals, Driscolls,

Brummages, Weintrauts and Skirvins.

They came from many states including,

Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia,

West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky.

Among these ancestors were Shawnee,

Cherokee and Wyandot American Natives and my

European ancestry of Irish, Scottish and Prussian.

Summer of 1999
My mother Lois Weintraut Vermillion and me
on board the Coast Guard Cutter Eagle
in New London, Connecticut.

Finding my ancestors has been a journey

filled with wonder and reward. Yet, the

discovery of their history and individual stories

has been largely due to several outside factors.

I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the

extensive genealogy world that now exists

on the Internet, the generosity of my relatives

and the kindness of a few absolute strangers.

My Uncle Frank Weintraut, Jr.
with my daughter Jennifer.

My Aunt Wanda Weintraut Ballinger.

The three children of my grandparents
Bertha and Frank Weintraut, Sr.:
Lois, Wanda and Frank, Jr.
