The Reconnection (The Missing Link) Part 1

Some times when a woman marries a man she put down her family identity and pick up the identity of her husband family. This was the case with Elizabeth Criddle Harris (Branch #8). In 1999 after the death of her Sister Mamie Criddle Cook she realized that with exception of her sister children she had no living relative that she knew. So in the year 2000 she commission her niece Marjorie V. Cooks to find her family that she had lost connect with many years ago.

Marjorie started with a California address (Branch #10) from 30 years ago, she mail a letter and hoped for a response. Then she went to the internet on Ancestry.com Message Board posted this(this message thread has been deleted but I was able to save a copy before it was removed):

I would like to hear from anyone who has info regarding the descendants of any of the above. Also I'd like any information concerning ancestors dating back farther than my info or just additional info or questions in general.

Now the information in this post, with the exception of Rebecca Criddle married name was Pauline instead of Poland and Joshua son name was Nehemiah instead of Jeremiah. And I have not been able to verify the nickname Monk and Teen. Every other fact list is true and verifiable with the exception of Ollie father name was David Criddle(Missing link 1). Base on the other information given I'm taking this info as a fact as well.
