Ancestor records of Eunice Irene (Strelesky) Lightcap, my paternal grandmother, are listed including descendant reports, marriage records, newspaper articles and obituaries. Click on a family tree and a more legible image will open.
My grandmother was born on December 22, 1915, in Sheridan, Sheridan County, Wyoming, to Jack and Ernestine (Sanders) Strelesky. She married my grandfather, Albert “Wally” Lightcap, on March 17, 1936, in Freeport, Illinois. They had seven boys. She died November 15, 1998, in Dubuque, Iowa.
I’m always looking for obituaries, photos, records, so if you have something of interest, please share! I don’t have everything on this blog. A lot of my information is on Ancestry (see Lightcap-Davis Tree). I have family pictures and cemetery photos on Flickr. I’ve put lineage information on WeRelate.
