I was reading your or should I say our family tree, Very interesting!! I'm going to look at the book my mother put together and see if she had the early names where we are related.

So very interesting to read your website. I was an AFS student at MHS 1973-4, even recognise some of my class in the photos, Bill Johnson and Bev Baker.

Amazing experience! Love to you all from the UK! xxx

We enjoyed seeing the photos of our family with the Easter Bunny at the Manning Plaza on Saturday, March 31, 2018. Thanks for sharing! Also, thank you for all the historical treasures you're adding to this site!

I still visit the site quite often. However I have a very big favor to ask, You did a wonderful job honoring my cousin Arlo Dammann. In it are pictures of my paternal grandparents Claus and Anna Dammann. They must have been in their twenties. I have never seen these pictures before and since I have done a lot of family history I would like to know where I could get a copy of it. Any information would be a help. Thanking you in advance,

Looking at your website today your picture of a farm that you guess whose farm is the farm I grew up on......the George Struve farm.... Currently Curt and Rexanne Struve. Original house has been replaced with a large log home.

Hi to all,

I just dropped by to do some research. I'm writing out memories and it was handy just to verify dates. Thanks so much for what you do. Perhaps someday I'll add to the Rudnick file.

It never ceases to amaze me at all the great pictures and information that you add to your website. I learn a lot from what you post and I don't know how you find the time to do it all. Please keep up the good work.

I really enjoyed finding your website while researching the Schnitzelbank song for my wife. I am so glad you published Erwin Hansen's reflections. My oldest daughter is a historian and a teacher so I am forwarding your website url to her. Both of my parents were raised in rural Kansas, so although I think I have no blood relations in Manning IA, most of my cousins would find a lot in common between your experience and theirs.
Keep up the good work. A long running personal website is a wonderful thing!

Love to visit your page and read about all the Manning information. I get to read about a lot of things that I've completely forgotten about. For example, the discussion about the railroads in your current edition. Keep up the good work.

I appreciate all your hard work in helping families know the history of Manning, and those that built the area into what it is today. Thank you.
