Research of Kevin Everingham of MI, between 2004 & 2019

Information from Robert DeHAVEN, Sept 2004, given to Kevin Everingham at Mildred Everingham's 90th birthday party, Onaway, MI. Bob said his parents were: Amos & Leafy DeHAVEN. He also stated that there was a "Melvin" before him that his middle name came from.

There are no descendants at the Everingham connection in this family. I have only researched this ancestor because I knew Robert DeHaven, and he had told me about his parent's unique names. ~K. Everingham, 2019
