Alaina,

I would love to share info with you. Contact me at my home email cory.moss@gmail.com My grandfather Leo Wesley Connett was your great-grandpa Barney’s brother. I’ve also recently made contact with John who is the son of Barney’s sister Ruth. It’s been quite a few years ago that I spoke with Mariel on the phone. I live in Nebraska and look forward to hearing from you. Cory

I gotta hand it to you Charlie, if you aren’t bringing wife swappers together you’re keeping the Connett Family in touch. This Interweb thing just might catch on.

I’m Barney’s great-granddaughter. His only child, Mariel, is my grandmother. We’re trying to gather any information about him that we can, so if anyone has any more great info, let us know! We live in New Lenox, Il. Where are you all from?

Well hello to all my wonderful cousins, In posting this last year I had no idea that this would reach all of you!! Sorry it took so long to reply but so happy that one message had such a response! Cory, it is nice to hear from you as well, thanks for posting this awesome photo. Here is an article that I found detailing the voyage across Lake Michigan under the “Rub a dub dub” section. http://www.greatlakes.org/Document.Doc?id=40
Patty, Debbie, Denise, great to hear from you, I have a picture of Uncle Barney in his military uniform if you are interested. I would love to communicate with all of you, my email is labadida@hotmail.com. Hope to hear from you soon! Noel

Well cuzins this is so very exciting! I don’t want to jeopardize my regular email account by listing it here so I’m going to figure out how to create an alternate email address which I will post here so you can contact me and then I’ll share my regular email address with you directly and we can start “comparing notes”

This message is for Cory..I am the grand daughter of Ruth and I have no idea how we could exchange stories either.. although it would be so interesting to do so. If you figure out a way…let me know. Denise, Patti and Noel are all my cousins..we are all from the same silly family tree! HA! My father was Ruth’s son. Patti and Denise are sisters and are daughters of another of Ruth’s sons and Noel is the son of yet another of Ruth’s sons….our family tree is a BIG tree! Hope to hear from you with a way we could chat…Debbie

i AM THE GRANDDAUGHTER OF RUTH CONNETT SO THIS WAS MY GREAT UNCLE.

Debbie, your Grandmother would be Gladys or Ruth? Patti, how are you related? Noel, how are you related? I would love to be able to contact all of you. Is there any other way than put an email address in this message? Barney was my great-uncle, his brother Leo was my Grandfather. I don’t have any information on the sisters. I’m sure we each have information that the others would be interested in. I found a copy of this Popular Science magazine on ebay. Also found a website with old newsreel clips and there is one of Barney from 1940something (can’t find my notes) but it was rather pricey $250. Sure would be neat to see it.

This was my great uncle’s craft and yes, he did navigate this across Lake Michigan from Chicago to Michigan. He also traveled with Ripley’s Believe it or Not. If anyone has other info on him I would appreciate anything . Thanks
