Aug 13, 2000, I am sure there are records somewhere on Eldridge Robert Giffin, in Coffey Co. His spouse was Francis Ann Giffin, son was Charles Otis Giffin, born 8 Aug. 1894. Eldridge was born on 26 Jan. 1859 and died 25 Feb. 1897. I have some contacts in the area in Ottawa, KS and Wichita Ks. but they are not to involved in genealogy.
