Family Connections

Since our 2008 reunion, I have received numerous emails from Alger descendents. This is a young man named James Stokes, his wife Katie and their two children from Wisconsin.

James is the great grandson of Zella Alger. James Alvin Alger's younger sister, Zella was born in 1903. James Alvin would have been 14 years old at the time of her birth.

James' father is Elvin Ray Stokes and his grandfather is Ray Stokes both pictured in the "name your family" photo to the left. I threw this one in for fun.

The recent emails have been very interesting. James has provided a number of photos we are trying to identify.

Additional emails include Cathy Alger of Texas and Rachael Alger. Cathy's line goes back to Ohio and I've not made the connection yet. It probably leads back to England.

Rachael Alger's line leads back through her Dads' line. He was Drew Alvon Alger and her aunt is Evelyn Alger Bishop . They descended from Vernon Alger, Rodney Alger, Thaddeus Peet Alger, who was killed by lightning at the age of 27, and Nathan Alger. I am currently tracing these folks back to see where our lines meet up. It's been an interesting month.

I know Matthew Alger, our historian will be really intrigued!
