I am trying to locate living members of my mother's side of my family...Barnes. Elizabeth Spoffard Barnes:  b. July 23, 1910 d. Dec. 19, 1994 She died as Elizabeth Barnes Swift Miller.  Robert Coleman Swift (my father).  Jerome Miller (stepfather).  Robert died in 1969.  Elizabeth died in Orono, Maine...is buried next to Robert in Clearwater, Florida. I was born in Shenandoah as were my mother, her brothers, etc. I believe I have 5 living cousins somewhere...daughters of my mother's brothers...and possibly other family members stemming from my grandfather's second marriage to an Irene Ross. Here are the b. and d. dates of family members of whom I would like to read obituaries: Sue Thornell Barnes.  b. Jul.26, 1879, d. Aug. 31, 1937 (grandmother) buried Sidney, Ia Charles Raymond Barnes.  b. Feb. 25, 1881 d. May 7, 1953 (grandfather) buried Shenandoah, Ia Andrew B. Thornell.  b. Oct. 22, 1846 d. Feb. 13, 1932 and Olive B. Thornell. b. Dec. 17, 1857, d. Oct. 28, 1927. buried Sidney, Ia Judge Andrew V. Thornell. b. Oct. 21, 1881 d. Feb. 3, 1944 son of Andrew and Olive Maj. John G. Thornell. b. May 5, 1886 d. Feb. 21, 1922 Comander of "Roma" WWI.son of Andrew and Olive Ben Barnes...no dates...uncle to Elizabeth...Charles Raymond's brother?  Children Armand and May. Elizabeth's brothers: A. Thornell Barnes...wife Olive, daughter Sue R. Maxfield Barnes...wife Margaret Ann...4 daughters...names? Charles and Irene Ross Barnes had one son...name? Maxfield died in 1969 in Bethesda, Md.  His daughters are 4 of the cousins I am trying to trace.  Any obituary published in Shenandoah? A. Thornell Barnes (Elizabeth's brother, my uncle) was injured in WWII...I believe received a purple heart...could be a newspaper record of this?  Died sometime in the 80s I believe. I'm a novice at all of this.  Please let me know if I can furnish any more information that could help you help me.
