info from Steve Owen  MjSteveO@aol.com

I am the grandson of Dorothy Shirley (1904-1991) and Leonard
Taylor (1901-1968)- both born in Maquoketa, Iowa.  My father was born Vernard
Clyde Taylor, but changed his name to Owen as a young man before I was born. 
Dorothy's parents were Frank Shirley (1865-1926) and Ella Liston
(1860-1938).   I am very interested in learning more of my family roots.
