My Grandmother who is still alive (96 years old) was DeEsta Bisbee Mother's name is Laura Esther Bateson (dob 21 Sep 1886) who married Jessie Bisbee (d.o.b. 18 Aug 1879). He did abandon them from my understanding and the children was put in an orphanage (which my grandmother always talked about) But Laura remarried to a ?Fitzgerald? who Grandma always called her really daddy cause they got them from the orphanage when Laura was finally able to (grandma was around 7 years old when they we removed form the Orphanage). My Grandma speaks very highly of her mom and daddy Fitzgerald so I would love to be able to make all connections to that side of her family. When researching I can not time anything on my grandma (DeEsta Faye Bisbee Bruck) until she moved to FL with he husband Frank Earl Bruck (d.o.b 05 Jul 1899 d.o.d. 06 Apr 1973). I would love to find relations on her side of the family.) Karen
