Les Guest Mar 25, 2005 7:18 AM	In the 1947 Golden Annversary of Mr. and Mrs. Frank DROMENBERG posted in the "Anniversaries" section of this site, it notes the DROMENBERGS had a daughter who was married to Harold WINCHELL. What was their daughter's name? and is this Harold WINCHELL the son of Lewis B and Daisy WINCHELL? Les

They lived along Coon Creek, just a couple of miles east of Prophetstown. Harold Winchell's had a daughter that I know, also granddaughter and 3 great grandchildren that I know, but all these are living, so don't like to put names on message boards of living people without their permission. If you need more information, send me an email and I can contact them to see if they want their information given out. email address:jag1939@cis.net Janet
