My gggrandfather was Simeon Cook Drollinger, Sr. I have been told all my life that he was a pioneer, yet can find no reference to his name in any of these projects. This is also true of the Gee family, but I have no idea if any were pioneers. The only reference I find that I am connected with is Anne Telford, in the 1851 migration. Not being trained as a genealogist, and being technologically challenged, I could sure use some help here. Thanks in advance.

Dan,

If you can make Simeon Cook Drollinger, Sr. profile a "public" profile instead of a "private" one I'll add him to the 1852 project.

Directions on how to make profile public can be found here:
http://www.geni.com/blog/how-to-make-a-profile-public/

The following Drollingers arrived in 1852 as part of the Thomas Howell company of 293 individuals plus 10 families and 65 wagons.

Drollinger, Rachel Cook (53)
Drollinger, Samuel Dudley (25)
Drollinger, Simeon Cook (19)

Does Anne Telford have a public profile on geni.com? If so can you send me the link?

Thank you both, Randy & Jennifer. Randy I have done as requested. Jennifer, Lysander is my direct ancestor, but imagine I'm related to at least some of the others as well.
I'll check on Anne Telford.

Anne Telford is listed in 1851, but there is no indication of public or private on profile for Ann Telford (Conn), my ancestor. Thanks again.

Thank you Eldon,
I had no idea of Simeon G. He would be my grandfather's brother.
