In the OK 1910 census, Alsenia(it appears to be Aljenia on the census) would be Alzenia and she was 14 months not years. She and my dad Louie (census has it as Louis) were the only children at that time. The two children in question would be Willie C, son, age 12 and Linnie, daughter, age 7. I just asked a Rainwater second cousin in KS about this and she did not know of them. Just went to a reunion on April 05,2008 in Ok of the grandchildren of Gideon H. and none of my cousins ever heard mention of any children with these names living with grandpa and grandma. We have no evidence of any other marriage for Gideon. This was our first ever reunion, most of us had not been around each other much in 50 years. Any researchers who tried to contact me few years back, please write or post again and I will try to answer this time. I have other info on this family, such as places of B/D,few B/D certificates,names of children,pictures of all cemetery stones & obits,and a few pictures. Am interested in other Rainwater pictures anyone has to share that is connected to Gideon's ancestor's. Can scan to my e-mail or I will pay copy & mailing costs.Thanks
