26 February 2002 email from Rod Morken--forwarded from Cheryl Viger
My family name is Manney. When my father was very young his father disappeared (his name was Cornelius Alan Manney). My grandmother married later in life to an Everett Morken which is the name my father took. The best I have been able to trace is as far back as my great-great grandfather (until I found this website).

As I stated my grandfather's name was Cornelius Manney. He went by "Alan." His father's name was Cornelius Manney (he went by Neil), and his father's name was Cornelius Manney and his mother's name was Harriet (according to the birth certificate).

I believe his mother's name was probably Hattie, since after checking the Charlesvoix County, Michigan birth certificate I found that Cornelius and Harriet Manney gave birth to Cornelius E. Manney on July 16, 1882, which is my great-great grandfather's birthdate. I have a birth certificate for Cornelius E. Manney (b. 1882) and I am still seeking other documents. If this helps, Cornelius E. Manney married Mabel Johnson. They gave birth to Cornelius Alan Manney, who married Lenore Whittle and they gave birth to my father Russell, and he goes by the name of Morken. --Rod Morken
