52 Ancestors 2015 Week #4 - Joseph Willard McKee

I received an e-mail this past week that two of the ancestors I had profiled during 2014 were not even my relatives! Week 39's Amos Garth NormanWeek 43's Estella Emma Goewey who I had thought were parents to my 2nd great grandmother I profiled in Week 3, Ada Viola Norman. Turns out that their daughter named Alta Viola never married or had any children. This also means that I do not have birth or death information for Ada Viola (or possibly Adeline).

Anyway, this week's theme from No Story to Small is an ancestor with the closest birthday to yours. The closest I could find is Joseph Willard McKee, my 2nd cousin 3x removed.

Joseph Willard McKee was born on 26 Oct 1908 in Missouri to Elia Arthur McKee (1882-1968) and Georgiana Carrico (1887-1960). Joseph was the oldest of six children:

Arthur Harold (1911-1982)

Paulina Georgiana (1915-1991)

Clifford John Calvin (1925-1958)

Joseph married Gladys Mae Lawrence (1909-1962) on 27 Apr 1927. They would have four children:

Betty Lou (1927-2008)
Mary Jo (1930-1933)
Don Willard (1933-2007)

Joseph died on 13 Sep 1989 at age 80. Joseph is buried at Pottersville Cemetery in Pottersville, Missouri.

52 Ancestors 2015 Week #2 - King Rudolf of France

This week's theme was King, partly because of Elvis and Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthdays. I am choosing an actual member of royalty for this week. King Rudolf of France, who was my 33rd Great Grand Uncle.

King Rudolf was born about 890, he is also referred to Rudolf of France. Other possible spellings of his name are Radulf, Ralph, and Raoul. Rudolf's parents are Duke Richard de Bourgogne (860-898) and Adelaida of Auxerre (860-929).

Rudolf had two siblings:

Sporta de Bourgogne (my 33rd great grandmother; 880-?)
Duke Hugh the Black de Bourgogne (dates unknown)

Rudolf married Emma of France (894-935) in 921. Emma was the daughter of Robert I of France. Rudolph was elected King of West Francia in 923 succeeding his father-in-law. Rudolph's coronation was on 13 Jul 923. Rudolph's title of Duke of Bougogne passed to his brother Hugh the Black.

Rudolf and Emma had one child named Louis and possibly a daughter named Judith. Emma would die 02 Nov 934 during a military campaign. Rudolph fell ill and died on 14/15 Jan 936 at age 45 or 46.
