I believe William and Ora are also my great grandparents. My father is John Lee Sons and his parents were George and Elsie Sons. I just started researching my family's past a week ago. I spent the past weekend taking pictures in the Weddleville Cemetery. I would love to get a hold of some more information as well as photos.

Steve, this is Cindy. I think we have written to each other but it's been a long time ago. Anything new on your end? I haven't been much "into" genealogy since my mom died a few years ago, but the "itch" is slowly coming back around.

h_sons — 2010-03-08 03:13:23Z

wow. That is so neat that you have these, thank you.
I don't know if it it just me but it is hard to read the name of his father and mother along with her maiden name. I really appreciate you doing all of this and helping me. Just curious. How is your husband related, who was his father and grand father?
Also, on Mary, what was the first name of her father? does that say Thomas?

Re: William Henry Sons, born 10/26/1864

ReneeHardwick18 — 2010-03-08 02:03:47Z

I have attached the death records that I have. My husband had not heard of the SOHNS spelling but I have several other surnames in my family that have different spellings so it might be true. I do not have any information on Elsie except her name. Elsie Velores Hughes.

Re: William Henry Sons, born 10/26/1864

h_sons — 2010-03-07 22:46:29Z

Thank you so much for writing back. I would love to have birth and death dates on Jesse h son and mary wilson if you have them and also his parents names with dates. William henry sons would also be my father n laws great grand father also. His name is Jimmy l. sons and his father was alfred and his grandfather is George. He was also telling me that he remembered his grandpa telling his sons used to be SOHNS? do you know anything about this or when this occured. I am trying to trace back as far as possible but got stuck at William henry sons. I am also stuck at elsie. I do not have her maiden name or know anything else about her. . Thank you for any help you can give. This is amazing.

Re: William Henry Sons, born 10/26/1864

1949cjones — 2010-03-07 14:53:57Z

What do you need on William and Ora Belle? I can probably help. They were my great grand-parents.

Re: William Henry Sons, born 10/26/1864

ReneeHardwick18 — 2010-03-07 14:46:26Z

William Henry Sons is my husband's great grandfather and yes his oldest son was George who married elsie. His parents were Jesse Hasten Sons and Mary Wilson according to my records. I do have a picture of William and Ora Belle and also a pic of Jesse Hasten Sons. I also have Jesse's death record which records his parents names.

Re: William Henry Sons, born 10/26/1864

h_sons — 2010-03-07 08:16:55Z

The william I am looking for I think lived in Salem, washington, IN or somewhere near there. This would be my father n laws great-great grandfather. But the years on the two williams are almost the same. It is weird. And it's a bummer to be so close and then have to start over.. hmmmm

Re: William Henry Sons, born 10/26/1864

andrewsons — 2010-03-07 07:58:03Z

I have our family bible and this William Henry Sons was my great great grandfather. His parents were Henry Sons and Louise Havet (from Prussia and Belgium). William had three children
1. William Henry Jr (m. Gladys Stienko)
2. Arthur (my great grandfather, m. Esther Hix.)

Re: Sons Coat of Arms???

Armando_Framarini — 2009-11-14 15:25:28Z

If there is a Dutch, Belgian or even English connection you may want consider the variant "van Son" and "van Zon" in which there are several family arms registered at the Central Bureau of Genealogie in The Hague, Netherlands. The also have pictures of the arms and seals of these families, and information in there Muschart Collection on microfilm. One arms is blue with a gold son, another silver with 3 red mill rinds. But always do your genealogy first to verify a connection!

REakman7710 — 2009-07-01 01:01:18Z

I am searching through all of my files and cannot (at this point) find a connection. The timing is right on and the same county. There almost has to be a connection. Will continue to look. A bit rusty have not done much research in the last year.
I will continue to look this evening.

M Sampson Daniel
Children Laura, Elroy, Eula and My grandmother Maggie Lee.

I do not know anything of her parents. I have a photo of Betty and who is thought to be her mother.

Have you had any luck finding a Sons Coat of Arms?
I have found the Certificates of Naturalization from the State of Illinois Cook County stating that my (3)great grandfather, Henry Sons, immigrated from Prussia and his wife, Louise Havet, was from Belgium.

Re: THE SONS FAMILY

andrewsons — 2009-06-02 15:43:23Z

Dear Joseph,

This is the information I have on George Sons.

George Abraham Sons married Lillian Truetner (?-1938). They had two children; Mildred (1918-1985?) and Otto (1920-?) The book I have on the Sons Family was made around 1990 and at this time Otto was still alive, I do not know if he alive or dead now.

Mildred married Erwin Meyer and resided in Crown Point, Indiana. They had three children; George, Donald, and Rochelle.

Otto married Arlain Rehborg and they lived in Crete, Illinois. They had three children; Larry, Caroll, and William.

That is about all the information I have. I hope it helps.

Andrew Sons

Re: THE SONS FAMILY

underoath107 — 2009-05-27 21:10:53Z

Where can I find more information on:

George Abraham (1889 - 1921)

I am trying to locate my family, and just recently found out that my real family name is Sons. I am a descendant of George and Anne Sons, but I have no link to that side of my family.

Any info would be a great help.

Hi Dawn I hope you still check in here sometimes.

My Grandmothers Father was Ira Shadrick(sp?)Waldrop. His father was Ira Waldrop he was married to Katherine Sons.
If it's the same Ira Waldrop, he was killed in an auto accident, January 1948, in Detroit MI.
I'm having trouble finding any Waldrops prior to Ira.

Good luck.
Maybe we're related :)

Re: THE SONS FAMILY

lsons12251 — 2009-01-23 13:55:32Z

I'm not sure if this is the same SONS family, but Wiliam Harvey Sons, was the son of Charles Sons who also came from Germany in the 1850's. William Harvey married Ellen Keating and they had 10 children including Charles, Harvey, Harry, Everett, and Archie. They lived in Vigo County, IN and my grandfather, Harry Sons, moved to Philadelphia, where he had my father, Harry Everett Sons. As far as I know, we are the only SONS in the Northeast..

My great grandfather Frank (Nick) was born arounnd 1870s he worked in Medora, IN. I would imagine there is a connection somewhere. Nick's family was around the Bedford, IN area and his son (my grandfather) was named Willie....

Re: William Henry Sons, born 10/26/1864

ReneeHardwick18 — 2008-10-05 20:03:36Z

I have a little more information since my posting; William Henry Sons' parents are Jesse Hasten Sons and Mary Wilson. He married Ora Belle Thorp. Is this the same William Henry Sons you were referring to?

Re: William Henry Sons, born 10/26/1864

andrewsons — 2008-09-30 02:48:40Z

I have some information on William Henry Sons (1864-1930) B. Chicago Heights, IL D. Dyer, Indiana. If this is the same William Henry Sons you are speaking of, he is my great great grandfather. I have lots of information on him as well.

Re: Obit: Robert Sons

andrewsons — 2008-09-30 02:37:21Z

I have even more information Robert Sons and his father John Sebastion Sons if anyone would like it.

Re: THE SONS FAMILY

andrewsons — 2008-09-30 01:47:35Z

Thanks for this info! Tell me if I am right here. I have a family book written in the 1980's by a distant relative that has Mathias, Peter, Henry, Earl, and Tavia Sons in it. The book has Henry Sons' Final Certificate of Naturalization in Cook County, State of Illinois March 1873. It says he was from Prussia. The book then maps out the spread of Henry's descendants from Chicago Heights (where my family still lives) to various parts of the country but none in Louisiana.

Re: THE SONS FAMILY

andrewsons — 2008-09-30 01:31:42Z

Hi, I think I have some information for you if this is the correct Mathias Sons. Mathias (October 19, 1866 - October 19, 1943) was the third child of Henry Sons(1827-1906) and Louise Havet(1846-1919). He married Elizabeth Ball(1883-1970). They had 13 children.

If this sounds right to you let me know and I can tell you more about all of their children.

Re: THE SONS FAMILY

praynpaisehim — 2008-09-30 01:13:32Z

I am related to Mathias Sons. It is my mother's Grandfather. I am trying to find out more about the Son's family and understand they might also spell the name Sohns but do not know for sure. We are part of the Roman Catholic Family from Germany. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
