Question:I'm looking to search my family history. I know I'm related to the Dalton Gang, but not sure how to explore the family. They are related through my great grand mother, whose maiden name is Fletcher. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks to all of you who have input for me!!!

The Dalton family came from Jackson County, Missouri. Lewis Dalton was a saloon keeper in Kansas City, Kansas, when he married Adeline Younger, the aunt of Cole and Jim Younger. By 1882, the family lived in northeast Oklahoma, then known as the Indian Territory, and by 1886 they had moved to Coffeyville in southeast Kansas. When the Oklahoma Territory opened for settlement in 1889, the family claimed homestead land near Kingfisher. Thirteen of the couple's 15 children survived to maturity.
