The Adam Yancey Family Genealogical Correspondence Collection
This collection of Genealogical Correspondence - was collected by the members of
the Adam Yancey family over many years - as they corresponded with many across
the country in relation to Yancey family genealogy and history. This mainly included letters collected
by Sylvia Yancey Anderson, Alice Yancey, Bertha Yancey Jensen (daughters of
Adam & Alice Yancey of Groveland, Idaho) and Thelma Yancey (a granddaughter) The letters collected represent
dates as early as 1927 and as late as 1980
Adam Yancey (1859-1920 of Groveland, Idaho) knew very little about his ancestry. After he died in 1920 his daughters sought out the details of the family history and origins They not only focused on info about their father's direct Yancey ancestry - but information about Yanceys across America of all branches. These letters represent their correspondence to various family researches across the country .
