Andis research
pioneers:
Cheska Wheatley:
Cheska was incredibly giving and helpful to so many of
us.
She took many people under her wing and guided them through so many
obstacles
in Andis research. With every new researcher that came along and asked the
same questions,
she answered as if it was the first time she'd been asked.
More than one person can credit her with giving them the bug to dig
deeper.
We celebrate her spirit and generosity. Wouldn't she love
this?
Norm Andis, Darien Andis, Richard Andis:
Their correspondences were so helpful in the early stages of researching
Wilhelm and Matthias.
Lois (Andis) Bakewell:
Her published works assisted in the early
stages of research with Wilhelm and Matthias.
Ned Bowman:
His "Billy Bowman Bugle" was a published
newsletter that helped many of us take great strides in connecting Andis/Bowman
families together. He would be thrilled by this website.
