My grandfather, David Sincher was Morris' brother. The family originated in Odessa to eventually arrive in Cheyenne in the early part of the century. David Sincher, my grandfather married Goldie Reufman. Morris' daughter, Rita, lives in Southern California.Nathan Helfmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902447995190446612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011190131897264422.post-43128008815210362872015-12-01T11:37:47.172-05:002015-12-01T11:37:47.172-05:00Cool--please email me.

Her maiden name is Sincher and she was born in Wyoming. She assured me her father's name was Morris Sincher, but the surname was changed, and I knew they owned land in Cheyenne, but I had no idea about the other brothers William and Isaac! My grandmother is Morris's daughter. I just wanted to thank you!

I contacted the Wyoming State Archives who sent me to the Platte Clerk of District Court. They initially couldn't find it but did locate it on Friday. The woman (who was so nice) asked if I wanted only the letter; I asked what else there was--and she said his naturalization papers. She sent a copy of the letter and his declaration of intention!Lara Diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01059622807880866607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011190131897264422.post-79068602802422114562015-11-08T11:27:09.917-05:002015-11-08T11:27:09.917-05:00I've been following your posts on this family ...I've been following your posts on this family and was curious how you found the letter. I tried to retrace your steps, but I'm mystified. On Ancestry.com, I found the Petition for Mary Sincher (Mindel Schinzuk), which had several pages but didn't include the letter. I also found Morris's first papers, filed in New York, but haven't found William's. Did you find the letter on a different site, or did you obtain it from the court clerk in Denver?
