Surname MITTENDORF
Submitted on 2Mar2013 by:
Bob Anderson
In the 1940 census, my Aunt (Lois Mittendorf) is listed as a student nurse. I assume that she was a student at the Ponca City Hospital School of Nursing. (I believe that my assumption has a high probability as being true based on contact with a distant relative who stated that her mother grew up in a boarding house run by her parents in Ponca City. She stated that they had many student nurse from the Hospital nursing school.)
My Question: Do know where the Nursing school archives might be? Or better, who or what can I contact to determine if my Aunt graduated from the nursing school?

Surname: SWINGLE
Submitted on 28Jan2013 by
Doris Dramov
I am looking for any information you may have on my great grandfather, Albert Galleton Swingle, who lived in Blackwell, OK from neart he turn of the last century until his death in 1913 in Blackwell. I am joining the DAR and any documents you might have on Albert would perhaps be helpful in tracing my lines further back.
I wonder if you have any record of him? He may have owned property, he was a builder, he might have married there, he died in Blackwell. Any assistance you can offer would be most welcome.
Doris Rademacher-Dramov. family history also places him in Bixby at that same time. His son wrote for the local paper, The Bixby Bulletin, so there may be an obituary, it occurs to me.

Blackwell Children's Home

Submitted on 28May2012 by:
Bridget Arnett
I am hoping someone can help me. For nearly 17 years I have been collecting documents and researching our family histories. I began the search with records my grandmother, Imogene Marie Kotchavar, had collected through her search for her father and any family he may have had. She remembers living in a children's home in Blackwell when she was very young. Unfortunately, the only documentation I have found on such a facility is a mention of the name and a 1933 census showing 19 children living in the home. Here is the link:
http://www.sacredhealing.com/triadoption/AAOMH/Oklahoma.pdf
I am very interested in obtaining a copy of this 1933 census, if one exists and/or obtaining any information on the home. She lived in this home with her two brothers, Ralph Kotchavar, Jr., and Billy Kotchavar. Billy passed away at the age of five, according to my grandmother, while living in the home - no other information has been found. I have found other census records where the children were living with their grandparents in 1930 (Hattie and John Kotchavar) there in Blackwell. The whereabouts of Janie Bell Rhea (Imogene's mother) were unknown for many years, and I have yet to find her on any documents beyond 1920, with the exception of the Kay County marriage record of 1923. If you have any information on this facility, please email me. I realize it may seem insignificant to some;
however, just as it was important to my grandmother to capture this missing portion of her life before she passed, it has become important to my mother. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Surnames: FARNIK
Submitted on 7Jun2011 by
Steve Jacobs
I'm researching my wife's family history and just found that her Farnik ancestors lived in Waltham, OK (which now looks like it is just a rural area just outside of Ponca City) from just after they arrived in the U.S. at Galvaston, TX in 1902 until at least the early 1940's. I have their information from 1910, 1920, and 1930 censuses. What I'm really interested in finding is any further information on where they came from (exact city/town). I know that a death certificate for Ignac Farnik (died between 1920 and 1930) and naturalization records for he and his wife Frantiska (both naturalized in 1903 per census data) are what I need. I'm wondering if you can give me any contacts of genealogists in Kay Co. who would, for a fee of course, try to gather this information for me. I'd be very happy to bring the history back to this site to share with others once I complete it.

I am searching for the graves of my grandfather, Elmer E. Garrett (Garret) who died November 5, 1917, in Tulsa, but his Death Certificates says his place of burial was Ponca City.    I am also searching for my great grandfather, Thomas J. Garrett, born abt 1849 who died (I was told) on 1 April 1912 in Ponca City, Oklahoma.  I cannot find any mention of them in the cemeteries on line. 

My family was from Ponca City.  My father Thomas J. Garrett was born in Ponca City on 3 Sept 1912.  He is now deceased.  I am trying to do my family genealogy. 

I also have a death certificate for one of my grandfather's brothers, Charles Jefferson Garrett, who died March 23, 1956.  His death certificate indicates he was buried in IOOF Cemetery, Ponca City, Oklahoma.  However, I find no records for him on line. 

Any assistance you could suggest in locating my family would be greatly appreciatred.  If there is a fee for this service, please advise.

I do not know this person but the photo was found with our photographs. Since my father was in WWII, I'm guessing this was a buddy of his. My father has since passed so there is no one to confirm with. Maybe someone researching this family will recognize it. I'd like to get it into the hands of this gentleman's family.
