James Ivan George Deldine, Research Report, the As It Is Series

Copyright 2022, CABS for Reflections From the Fence

This continues what I hope I can turn into a series of posts, done in a very efficient (make that speedy fast) manner to share some research on the ancestors.  This is NOT intended to be the end all to end all report.  It's a work in progress, to show you what I have found, right or wrong. Kind feedback is welcomed via comments.

Let's begin - - 

Meet James Ivan George Deldine.

It should be pointed out that the only time the name Ivan appears is in his birth record of Fayette County, Iowa.  All future references and documents drop the Ivan and his name appears as James George Deldine.  And, nope, I have no idea where or when he died or is interred, see below.

Nothing more is found about James.  When his son David is married in 1946 in Kansas, James is not mentioned.

No obituary GenealogyBank February 2022. Newspapers dot com was searched for Sedgwick County, Kansas area papers, from 1930-1950 and no reference to James was found.

I have found no memorial for James, or Ivan or George Deldine on Find A Grave as of February 2022.

At some point in the future, I may return to the search for James.  For now - - he went - - poof.

* Disclaimers, I use Find A Grave, Ancestry dot com, FamilySearch, several newspaper subscriptions, free sites, such as Virginia Chronicles, Virginia Chancery Cases online at the Library of Virginia and more to research my ancestors.  I pay for subscriptions, full price.

** My judgements may or may not be correct.  Transcriptions may or may not have errors.

*** Links, URL's, for the most part will not be included henceforth on my posts, as so many of them change and then I have to come back and try to re-discover and relink.  Frankly folks, I have no desire to spend my limited time here on this side of the sod with those kinds of do overs.  As researchers, or just members of the internet community, sites such as Find A Grave are easy to find, some are free to use and with the information I am sharing you, hopefully, you can duplicate the research/findings. That said, I have seen memorials at Find A Grave be removed.  If you have questions, I suggest you leave a nice comment for me. OR find the method I have outlined on my blog for contacting me.

**** I hope the usual happens, within hours, sometimes minutes, I do another search and something shows up.  Well, I can hope.
