The Dangerfield's Of Scranton Kansas.

I have been working with a Mrs. Diana F. Rogers who had Dangerfield ancestors in Scranton Kansas. I had been working with her a couple weeks off and on. About this time my computer went down. I keep tell her I would update my Dangerfield page with her information as soon as I was up and running again. After two weeks went by my computer came on line. One of the first thing was to update my Dangerfield page, but I couldn’t find it, I looked and looked but no page was to be found. I found the joke was on me I hadn’t yet done a page on the Dangerfield’s. But with the little bit of information I had and with the information Diana sent me and the promise of more information and some photos to come this page was made possible.

Diana Flodin Rogers, sent me this nice letter and information.

Hi Dennis-

Thank you so kindly, for your assistance with the helpful genealogy people at the Topeka/Shawnee Library! They looked up a variety of dates/people for me, and I appreciate their willingness to help a fellow researcher in another state. Sadly, I haven't located the place/death of Hannah Lavinia Dangerfield - but I don't give up easily. I've been researching for about 12 years now. After a 4-year hiatus, I've resumed searching this past spring-- just amazed how much more Dangerfield info is 'out there'!

I have a blog (knitting mostly) I have put my Dangerfield info there, for the time being, along with the main photos I have and/or acquired. http://azdiana53.blogspot.com/

A Canadian researcher runs The Dangerfield One-Name-Study; about 4 years he wrote an article about Edwin Dangerfield & his death in 1902 in Liverpool on the Waesland. You will find his story at that site under 'Serendipity'. http://www.members.shaw.ca/sdangerfield/

Thank you again for your assistance with the research!
