Thank you very much!
My ex-wife is Teresa Hunt, daughter of Douglas and Frances. I know Frances Zihlman Hunt died and Douglas was still alive last I heard. (Teresa and her father do not get along so it's been a few years since they last heard from each other.)
I have details about Teresa and her children. 5 children from 4 husbands.
I have the Zihlman and Barr line that I have no information.

The next to last line should read "4 children from 4 husbands."
Last line should read "I have no information on the Zihlman/Barr lines".

I will try to finish this: Willis C. Hunt Born Feb. 26, 1889-USA- Died - March 30, 1960 - Iowa Aspen Grove Cemetery, Des Moines Iowa. Find a grave memorial #

106353072, I will try to find something on the Zihlman and Barr lines . Do you have dates of birth or maybe approximate dates or maybe age of when they died. Or where they lived , maybe Iowa or Missouri. I will see what I can do and please if you do have any other information, it will be appreciated. I don't know when Donald was born but I am assuming it was 1930 something. But I am guessing . Nothing is mentioned in the obit of Richard about the sisters. Do you know anything about Letha or Alice? I will get back with you. smith41
