Jackson Likens

I was born on November 30, 1999 to Brad and Janae Likens. They were pretty young when they had me. We started off with my Mom and Dad when my Dad was still in college (my Mom was a year older than him). He finished just a little under a year early though because he was very smart. I have always lived in Overland Park my whole life. I was a mature child, enjoyed having a conversation with adults more than I enjoyed with kids my age, had loads of energy; and always wanted a little brother. I currently play a lot of sports, I hope to get a scholarship on my football kicking. We all play a lot of instruments. I currently sing, play piano, and write music. My family is by far the most important thing in the world to me. I would do anything for my younger siblings.

This is my sister Emma. She is a very beautiful girl. She was born on September 25, 2003. I wanted her to be named rocket ship (and also a boy). I cried when I first saw her, probably more than all the others. I remember asking my grandma if I looked like a big brother repetitively. She is very smart, very crafty. Really nerdy and dorky like me. Loves playing softball. She is currently learning how to play the ukulele, guitar, and singing. She is currently in fifth grade at Sunrise Point Elementary.

This is my sister Greta. She is a very pretty little girl. The general theme with my siblings is that I wanted them to be a brother. I had always wanted a little brother. She was born in February in 2005. She loves playing sports. She is very athletic. She is the exact combination of my two grandmothers. Sometimes we disagree with each other on things, but I love her. I love them all. I know I have already said it, but family means everything to me. We always laugh at how this is so. She currently is in third grade at Sunrise Point Elementary.

This is my little brother Hudson. He was born on June 9, 2014. I was so happy when I found out I was going to have a little brother. I remember the exact moment he was born. I woke up and came downstairs in the morning to my grandma (who was babysitting us because my parents were at the hospital). I looked at her and said "I bet I have a baby brother right now." Then I looked up at the clock and it turned to 7:35 in the morning. He was born at the exact moment that I said that. When I first saw him I cried, just like I did for all my other siblings. Anyway, He is very athletic, funny, and he looks like a carbon copy of me, acts corny like me too. He is currently a first grader at Sunrise Point Elementary

I love my Dad, he pushes me to be as good as I could be

My Mom is possibly one of the coolest mothers that anybody could have. She is funny, young at heart, and is a very hard worker.

Janae Likens

My Mema is the best. She was a teacher all her life and is not a tutor. They currently live in Tulsa, OK.

This is my Papa, he is one of the funniest guys that you could ever meet. Also one of the best person that you could meet.

My Grandpa lives McKinley, TX. He is very religious and has worked on opening new church's in that area. I look a lot like he did when he was my age.

This is my Grandma Hanna. don't know much about her, I rarely see her. She is a very kind and outgoing gal that has one heck of an accent. That's for sure.

She is like another grandmother to me. She is lovely lady. Sadly I don't get to see her all but every once in awhile

She was a homemaker and dedicated wife/mother. She gave birth to three daughters (Kathleen, Esther and Louise) and one son, Donald. All of her children have passed away. She worked to support she and her husband; primarily in housekeeping at motels. She passed away in 1978 and the age of 75. She died from cancer of the spine; she had a major heart attack at the age of 72

During the early years of their marriage she focused on home making and supporting her two children school activities. She was an active member of the Eastern Star (ladies Masonic Organization). When the children were raised, she began a career working for Doctors George and George, Chiropractors. She ran the office for them for approximately 25 years. At the age of 65, she had major cancer surgery from which she recovered and never had another occurrence during the remainder of her life. She died of Alzheimer’s at the age of 86 in December 2007.

He was a pipefitter and worked in a Sinclair Refinery in Coffeyville, KS until becoming disabled at the age of 39 when he lost all sight in one eye and only had partial sight in the other due to an ‘empty fuel line’ being full of ammonia. He was a dedicated fisherman and died in 1956 at the age of 56 after suffering his second major heart attack.

My Grandpa is very cool, that's all I need to say about him

My grandma is funny, loves organizing our stuff (for some reason), and is good at picking out new clothes for me. She works at Shawnee Mission Hospital with P. Rose's sister. They are bio-chemists

My grandpa is very goofy. I see him a lot. He can make one heck of a turkey. He works as a woodworker and the guy who does other people's taxes.

This is my uncle, he is very dorky. Kind of runs in the family. He and my Dad work together. He is very funny as well. I see him quite a bit.

My Aunt is great. She is very nice.

This is the cousin (blood related cousin) closest to my age on this side of the family. She is only eleven though. She is a sixth grader at Prairie Star Middle. She is very athletic, kind, and funny.

This is my cousin Amelia. She is one of the kindest and sweetest people you will ever meet. She is very funny as well. She plays the piano. Every one of the kids between us two are all stair stepped in age. Audrey is 12, Emma is 11, Amelia is 10, Greta is 9, etc..

Oliver is just a year younger than my sister Greta. We call him boney Dog. He plays soccer. Ok

Oscar is very funny. He is the very youngest between our two families. He is extremely cute. But also secretly very smart, devious, and sometimes cruel...

She is a very strong and religious lady. She served on the first council for the city of Leawood. She was very, very religious. Although she was dyslexic, she would quote the bible all of the time. She has written over 100 religious poems. She exchanges poems with the cardinal and two other famous catholic writers. Some of her poems have even been sent over to Rome to be studied.

She started the first women's business sorority...which obviously went international

• They honored her on her 100th birthday, she lived to be 102. Which is surprising since I was told that ever night she had a cigarette and a "highball"

• Again, don't really have any specific names to throw out
• Apparently one half Irish and one half everything else in the world
• Had everything run in the family on this side from King in Mexico to English Matriarch
• This is between the last two generations
• Founded Miami, Oklahoma
• Owned railroad from Spring field all the way to Miami
• We have the deed hanging in the office at work signed by President Harrison
• He sadly ended up getting thrown out the window during a poker game due to beating everybody (I'm guessing that they were not great people)

• My great, great, great grandfather, Johnston Likens, is the grandfather that owned a lot of railroad. He has his picture and information up at Union Station in Kansas City.

I don't have his name, but I do know that he was one of the better athletes in Kansas City. He played all metro. 100% Irish

• 100% German
• Migrated from Kentucky from a very large German settlement.
• They determined that the spelling of our last name would be like "Likens"
• Didn't really get their names

• 100% German
• Born October 29, 1923
• Was a farmer, at one point had somewhere around 25,000 acres of farmland

I don't see her anymore. I used to be pretty close to her. She isn't married and her dog wasn't ever nice.

This is my uncle, he looks like a stud. Sadly he got in a motorcycle accident when my Mom was a kid, with her on the back, and all the bones in his foot and ankle ended up shooting out his leg onto the street. It was all replaced with metal and he obviously can't move it. He's really cool though

(me)

Connor is a very kind person. He is also very funny and sometimes surprisingly shy. He is a senior in highschool.

Carson is probably one of the cousins that I was closest to. He is just a year older than me. He is obviously a sophomore in highschool. This part of this side of the family lives in Mustang, Oklahoma.

I do not know coleman too well. He was the oldest and I didn't get to see him a lot. He is very cool and he is 20.
