If you have family that lived in Lawrence, Kansas, or the surrounding communities, in particular if their names are on the list below, please add their public Geni profiles to this project. If you're not sure about any of the data on their profiles, please say so, so that we can make this project as accurate as possible.

I started an image repository at Google Photos. (previous link was broken: Picasa Web Albums)

If you're looking for more information on these families, consider contacting the Douglas County Historical Society. They have a stunning wealth of very well-organized information on many families that lived in Lawrence, KS and the surrounding counties.

If you have questions or need help, don't hesitate to contact me. My name is Amy Bowen. You can email me directly at amy [dot] bowen [at] gmail [dot] com.

By the way, I'm of no relation to the families. I was just intrigued by the collection of photographs. That means you can help, too, even if you're not related :) If you want to be a collaborator, just ask!
