Thomas Rogers moved from Canada to Kansas in 1902.

In 1905 he moved along with his brothers, sister, and mother to Douglas and started a hardware store. He was previously married to Frederica (Bolen, Bohlen) Boahlen.

I first met Dorothy in April 1998 after contacting the minister who officiated at the funerals of Walter Althaus and Beatrice Bigelow Althaus. He told me she would be the one to talk to and gave me her number. I called her the same day and arranged a meeting at her house. She has been most co-operative in loaning me several photographs to scan and add to this family tree. I have been to her house twice now. During the first visit I had the pleasure of meeting her sister and brother, Edna Rogers Soles and Jacob Edwin (Jake) Rogers, Edna's husband Orin and Jake's wife Mary. During the second visit I had the pleasure of meeting with Dorothy's cousins Violet Althaus Laux and Elizabeth Louise (Betty) Althaus Wolslagel, both daughters of Edwin A. Althaus and Ida Marie Kuni Althaus. They have also lent me items to put into the family tree. I will continue to contact family members and some have also contacted me to add their families to the family tree. Since I found the Althaus family in Arizona, I have added about 250 more family members to the tree.
