Help Needed!


Scan12546, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

Hello,

My name is Jerry McCabe. My Great-Aunt was Nettie McCabe Dill. My son and grandson are the last of the McCabe line. For almost 10 years I have been searching for information on the Sam B. Dill Circus, Grover McCabe, or Margaret Crandall. Without any luck, I have been trying to find a poster, pictures that I could frame for our family history. Do you know where I might get some help?

Thanking you,
Jerry McCabe

Jerry:

You came to the right place to start. Buckles's blog is international.

Now, go also to the website for the Circus Historical Society, and click on their Discussion Board. Follow the instructions thereon, and give a detailed description of your search and your family's requests. It may take hours, or it may take months, as the site will tell you, but some knowledgeable circus historian may give you a welcome response. Make note of your item number, and return to it regularly. While you're at it, check the historical magazines BANDWAGON and THE WHITE TOPS index sections for references to articles on your subject. Good luck.
