Surnames: CREDIT Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/7aB.2ACEAE/965 Message Board Post: My maternal grandfather, Fred Credit, was born in Three Rivers, Canada on May 8, 1869 and came to Berlin, Illinois about 1888 where he married Martha Scholl in 1890. He was a painter. I'm researching my ancestry and have hit a brick wall on the name 'Credit' as you can imagine. Thousands of responses to searches but no Credit surnames. I think he had French ancestry. I'd sure like to find his parents and any other ancestors. Can anybody help?
