This was the most challenging installment of Cousin Quest so far.
The person who transcribed the BMD records from "Grandmother
West's Bible" didn't have much information on Vienna's grandchildren
and great-grandchildren.For example, the entry on Winnifred Goodwin
includes the line:
"m C.Frank Thompson-4 sons.One still living on the old homestead.
Saw him about a year ago."
Luckily the Family Group sheet that my Aut Dot sent us years ago
had more to help fill in the blanks on the grandchildren and Ancestry.com
was useful for the great-grandchildren.Even so I could find no names
for two sons of Nettie Goodwin and John Farnham. The Federal Census
sheets at Ancestry were useful although two transcriptions contained
errors. One listed Ichabod Thompson as "Schaberd Thompson"; another
had a "Leonidur" Mansell that I believe is Leonidus.
One item that caught my eye was that "Leanidus West Mansell" is
listed in the Canadian Soldiers of World War 1 1914-1918 records.I'll
have to look further into that. Maybe someday I'll hear about it from
one of his descendants!

COUSIN QUEST:THE FAMILY OF VIENNA AMES WEST
This is the latest installment in a series of posts that I hope will
put me in touch with more descendants of John Cutter West and
his wife Arvilla (Ames) West.
Vienna Ames West was their fifth child and second daughter.
I don't have much information on this branch of the family and
had to fill in some blanks from information I found on Ancestry.com.
I'll post some thoughts about all this in my next post.
