Hi to all Badgers! My great grandfather was Omer Badger from Illinois I believe. My grandfather was Merle Badger who was one of five brothers born to Omer's first marriage. His wife died and he married the housekeeper and they came west(to SOuth Dakota and had more children) two girls (Anna Mae and Martha) and also some boys(I beleive Kendall was one of the boys) Anyway, am looking forwaard to visiting with anyone who is familiar with this family. My mother is a grandaughter of Omer( and he had brothers Walter Lewis Badger and sister Carrie McDaniel). Maybe more siblings and not sure of the dates or places. Amnot sure of the places they lived before the Midwest, but would sure be interseted to hear from anyone who knows. Thanks!

My father was Paul Badger. He was born in AK in 1911 and passed in Dexter OR about 1972. I am sure Martha and Anna Mae were his sisters. I do not know much about this side of my family and would welcome any information. I am O.R. Badger IV. Mom said I was named to carry on the tradition.

Omer's middle name was Rosselder, and he was born on 18 Nov 1877. On 11 June 1898, he married his first wife, Arminta Myers. In 1912, he resided in Arkansas. I have not proved Omer's line, but I can trace it back to 1635-1640, if you wish.
