Hello-

I came across your e-mail address in a RootsWeb genealogy search of my great grandparents. Their names were Bertha Helen Louise Mannens and Ray Ver Helst. I would have to think that given the uniqueness of the surname and that it is a Mannens marrying a Ver Helst, there may be some connection to your listing of August Ver Helst and Mary Mannens. Bertha and Ray also lived in Mason City, Iowa. You show a grandchild of August and Mary (Nancy Lou Haight) as being born in Mason City.

There must be some connection...other information that I haveis that Bertha Mannens parents were Valentine Mannens and Elodia Moestart? Have not seen the Moestart surname in the US at all, but does appear to be Dutch when searching yahoo. Do you have any information prior to August or Mary concerning their parents, etc.? Either Mannens or Ver Helst would seem like they would probably overlap...Any information you could share would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Mark Slade

Hello Sue,

Yes, I had received a reply from you and my friend that I'm helping said thank you.  She was so happy that I found the information that you had posted. Her brother will be coming home in mid-June, he lives in Kwajalin, (hope it is spelled correct) which is part of the Marshal Islands, and I wrote to him about your web page, so he was thrilled too.

Their Father was Chalmer Leo, and their Mother was Marcella Houp.

Their children were:

Thaddeus b.3/3/1952

Renee b. 3/24/1954

Brenda Gail b.3/15/1957

Marquita b. 12/17/1960

When Thaddeus gets here in June, I will send you some more information.....Thanks for being so kind and willing to share your information.....Have a great week end..

Hello Sue,

Thanks for your response. I spoke with my friend Renee, (Cassiday) and she said it was definitely ok to post her family to your pages.

Chalmer Leo Cassiday b. 6/19/1905 d. 7/28/1970 (heart attack) m. Marcella Houp

Children of Chalmer Leo and Marcella:

Rhonda b. 3/4/1950 m. Jim Huffman - 1 daughter, Amber Huffman

Thaddeus b. 3/3/1952 m. Gloria Duran - 1 son, Kyle Cassiday

Renee b. 3/24/1954 m James C. Grasham, Jr.. (Jock ) - 1 son, Kalem Grasham

Brenda Gail b. 3/15/1957 m. Fred Short - 1 son, Lucas Short

Marquita b. 12/17/`960 m. Richard Long - 1 daughter, Gina Renee Long.

* * Chalmer Leo had two other children by his previous wife,

Chalmer Leo, Jr. and Suzanne Cassiday.

I do know that Chalmer Jr. is no longer living, but as far as our family knows, Suzanne is living, and we have heard that she lives around San Antonio, Texas. We think she married a Martin.  If you have any information about Suzanne, my friend Renee would really be happy to know about her as this is a half sister that she has never met, but would really like to find her someday.

Feel free to write anytime, Renee is usually at my house everyday, and I can relay any messages....

Thanks again,,,,,,,,,Mary Stone Danville. KY.

***** I do not know the marriage dates of Chalmer's children, nor do I have the birthdates of their children, but I can obtain these from my friend Renee, and send them later. I am sending a copy of this letter to Renee's brother Thaddeus, as he is trying to research some of this also. I am sure he would appreciate anything that you have that you are willing to share. This is his address if you should wish to write to him, and he can provide his wife's maiden name's correct spelling, as we were unsure of the spelling, and his son Kyle's birth date.

I will continue to help Renee, and if we uncover anything new,I will be more than happy to send it to you.

Renee's address is: reneeg54@yahoo.com

Thaddeus's address is: cassiday@kmrmail.kmr.ll.mit.edu

Sue,

Up early this morning and found your email. I found the Burl Haight book many years ago and also communicated with a Mrs. E. Brown. She sent me copies of some family group sheets.

I found the site. Did not download a gedcom, yet. Please add my inquiry to the site.  I would be very happy to share any information to bring the Urias Dillon portion up-to-date. I am trying to find the parents of John W. Thompson and Rachel Hall, who were the parents of Urias Dillon Thompson. Also looking for information regarding the brothers and sisters to Urias.  I have clues but no real evidence.

I submitted what little information I had on John W. THOMPSON and Rachel Hall to World Connect after I found your site on there.  I will be happy to hear from Lloyd and the others. Please use my email address: sande_lee@hotmail.com

BFN, Sande THOMPSON Smith

For those who are interested in the Descendants of David and Rachel (Meek) Cassiday, I have just completed a book on their children with emphasis on John Cassiday and his children with Sarah McGee and Elizabeth McKeever.
The Title is The Ancestors of Rose Ann Cassiday. Rose Ann was my father's grandmother, her father was William R. Cassiday and her grandfather was John Cassiday.  This book is based on Burl J. Haight's research, my research,and the contributions of many Cassiday researchers.

If you are interested in ordering a copy of the book, please email me direct at: sande_lee@hotmail.com

Oh yes, I'm from Mason City, Iowa, also, and my dad is Roger Ver Helst, son of Henry Ver Helst. I believe Ray Ver Helst was Henry's brother or cousin.  We lived out in the country near Keith Haight's family, who I believe is my dad's cousin once removed or second cousin.  I was always told that our line of the Ver Helsts are Flemish Belgian, though there are lots of Verhelsts (no capital h that are Dutch.)

Sincerely, Lynn VerHelst

Some months ago, there was a Haight family genealogy and history page on your website. 

It contained the fascinating information that my late father had married one of the daughters. 

Since we didn't know about this, it came as a bit of a surprise. 

I bookmarked the page, but when I came back to it, the link to it was no longer working.

Any idea where this came from?

Thank you.

Sue,

Is your Homer Haight the father of H. Thomas Haight of Saginaw, MI.  If so, I am related to Thomas through his mother Anna C. Burns.

If it is the same Homer Haight, please contact me as I would be interested if you have any information on the Burns line of the family or in speaking to someone from that branch of the Haight family to see what they might have.

Mark Brown
