• General Notes

  Hi Rod (6/17/02 email)
  
  My husband, Fred, is looking forward to communicating with you and may be able to share memories, etc. I'm the genealogist and I'll be able to provide names, dates and places. What I may try to do is pull together a Waddell gedcom file for you. I do want to review what I have in the file first. My work on it is sporadic, to say the least. We were in Covington in October and I want to make sure everything was entered. Roy Raymond's father was Ambrose. He is also buried with his first wife (Fannie Lewis) in Highland Cemetery (Section 4, Lot 155, Grave 6). Ambrose did not have a gravestone, so Fred arranged to have one laid just before we were last there. We are attempting to find more info on Ambrose and his ancestors, but are dead-ending.
  
  We are in touch with only one other member of the family, Herb Reinhard, who is Virginia's son. I'll forward your message and the picture to him also.
  
  It's great to talk with another member of the clan. I'll forward what I can as soon as I can. By the way, you're living in one of my favorite places. I lived in Green Bay in the early to mid-70s, after going to high school and college in Marquette, Michigan.

  My wife Beverly (Barrett) Waddell and I have been trying to trace our family tree for quite a few years. Roy Raymond Waddell, Sr., my grandfather, was the son of Ambrose Waddell. He is buried in Highland Cemetery in Northern KY,  a little ways from the gravesites of  Roy Raymond Waddell, Sr. and his wife Katie Ries Waddell.
  When I was last there, I was saddenend to see that Ambrose Waddell did not have any gravemarker, so I purchased one and had it placed on his grave (next to the grave of his wife  Rebecca (Fannie) Lewis Waddle.
  
  Bev and I have reached a dead end in finding out more information about Ambrose Waddell (my great-grandfather), i.e. where he was born, his parents' name, etc.
  We think that the Waddell clan came from Virginia, perhaps the Western part of Virginia before it broke off to become West Virginia, but we have reached a dead end on this. Anything that you could find would be helpful. Would your mother possibly know something about her grandfather, Ambrose?? If so, it would be something of a breakthrough in our research.
