VIEWER LETTERS

I stumbled across your site while researching the family. I am the son of Eleanor Barr, daughter of Walter Barr (sounds so biblical). My uncle is Wayne Barr who still farms the homestead in Missouri.

What a great compilation of the family tree. I think that is so cool to go back that far. Thomas sounded like a "big wheel" in the late 19th century in MO. I worked on that farm and Wayne's farm for over 8 years thoughout high school and college. Wayne wanted me to send some research to him. You have made my task very easy. Thank you.

"I love the website and refer family to it all the time. Thanks for the hard work. Uncle Rob (Robert Lee Barr, Sr.) was my favorite of Grandpa Barr's (John Clarence Barr, Jr.) siblings . He was so sweet and looked like my grandpa. I just loved him and he always hugged us and we always went up to him because he and grandpa were two of the sweetest men I ever met. When I was in High School, we moved to Shackelford and went to church with all his family every Sunday. We lived across from the church and I was married there in 1964. So, of course I know most of your aunts and uncles. I remember the beautiful Mary Alice and looked up to her when I was a child. She had a wonderful piano recital at Mercy Academy when she was in High School. I know Anna Margaret better than any. I just love her. I did meet you briefly in all the confusion at the (2007 Barr) reunion. I recognized your dad (Kenneth Joseph Barr) from long ago. I had not met John Barr--who was a total charmer and joker. Most of the family I knew--such as Uncle Charlie's (Charles Barr) and Aunt Sissy Woodsmall's families. I was blessed to get to know the family that I grew up in back there."

"I remember your grandmother (Frances Amelia "Millie" Weis-Barr) well. She played the organ at Immaculate Conception church in Shackelford, MO, when I was growing up - from about the time I was in maybe 4th grade to about 7th or 8th. I remember she always had a smile of encouragement for us as kids; I remember that we didn't sing out that much."

Congratulations dear descendants of the Barr, Weis, Kochanowski, Crompton and Larkin families! You've unearthed a remarkable genealogical treasure, and it cost not one cent of your disposable income!
