Your Lineage

Aaron:

I think I found your grandfather Dewayne C. Whitney on the 1930 census. He was born about 1915 in Wisconsin. His parents were "Floyd F." Whitney, born about 1888 in Illinois, a farmer, and his wife Victoria C., born about 1890 in Wisconsin. The children in the family were Elmer W., Dewayne C., Lucile I., Gertrude L., Arland G., John W., and Loraine C., all born in Wisconsin. They were living in Arland Township, Barron County, Wisconsin.

Is this the right family?

Victoria Robarge

If this is your family, I believe this is your great grandmother's lineage:

and here's a pedigree for your uncle Elmer:

You are right on the money!!! That was a ton of info very fast. THANK YOU!

John Henry Whitney

Floyd's father was John Henry Whitney, according to the 1900 census, born Sep 1849 in Nebraska. His wife was Cecelia, b. April 1853 in Wisconsin. John Henry was listed as a Painter.

Thanks Tim! I had gotten as far a Floyd.. but no farther. Also I knew almost nothing about my great grandmothers side. I did stumble onto a Civil War registry with all those that served and died. I was suprised at how many Whitneys were in there.. but more suprised at the abnomaly high survival rate of Whitney soldiers.. lol

I just found a John Henry Whitney listed as a musician in the civil war. Wonder about the connection. Seems like he survived.. maybe left Massachusetts for Nebraska?

John Whitney

I just found John & Cecelia Whitney on the 1880 census. Living with them was his mother, Adeline Whitney. This should allow me to trace him back further... hang tight...

Man you are fast. This has been a really fun day! I am going to try to chart this all out and give it to my Grandfather on his 93rd birthday.

Even when I know who I am looking for.. I still cant find what you found.. LOL

This is really frustrating.. I started with the info you gave me and my Great Grandmothers side just kept unrolling like a carpet.. I am back into the 1300's in France now. But the Whitney Male side that I really wanted to track stops cold in Nebraska in the 1800's. Why couldn't the line I was really looking for roll out like that? lol I still have not found a connection with a single other Whitney on here.. or any of the other sites I have looked at. I feel so "Unaffiliated".. LOL "
