Although I have lived in Scottsdale, AZ for 50 years, I was born in Great Bend, Barton, KS and my genealogy roots run deep there. Two pair of gr-gr grandparents and a pair of gr-grandparents settled there. Another pair of gr-grandparents settled in Stafford Co., which adjoins Barton to the south. I owe a great big thank you to the LDS Family History Center in Mesa, AZ. as I have spent many hours there and am grateful for all of the help that I have received.
