Hello-
I came across your e-mail address in a RootsWeb genealogysearch of my great grandparents. Their names were Bertha HelenLouise Mannens and Ray Ver Helst. I would have to think thatgiven the uniqueness of the surname and that it is a Mannensmarrying a Ver Helst, there may be some connection to yourlisting of August Ver Helst and Mary Mannens. Bertha and Ray alsolived in Mason City, Iowa. You show a grandchild of August andMary (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 ElodiaMoestart? Have not seen the Moestart surname in the US at all,but does appear to be Dutch when searching yahoo. Do you have anyinformation prior to August or Mary concerning their parents,etc.? Either Mannens or Ver Helst would seem like they wouldprobably overlap...Any information you could share would begreatly appreciated!
Thanks
Mark Slade

and the contributions of many Cassiday researchers.
If you are interested in ordering a copy of the book, pleaseemail me direct at: <sande@by4now.com>.

Oh yes, I'm from Mason City, Iowaalso, and my dad is Roger VerHelst, son of Henry VerHelst. I believe Ray VerHelst was Henry's brother or cousin. Welived out in the country near Keith Haight's family, who Ibelieve is my dad's cousin once removed orsecond cousin. I was always told that our line of theVerHelsts are Flemish Belgian, though there are lots of Verhelsts(no capital h that are Dutch.)
Sincerely, Lynn VerHelst

Some months ago, there was aHaight family genealogy and history page on your website.
It contained the fascinatinginformation that my late father had married one of thedaughters.
Since we didn't know about this,it came as a bit of a surprise.
I bookmarked the page, but when Icame 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
