Hi there. This seems like a long shot, but I'm wondering if there is a connection to my Clarke family. All I know is that my great-grandfather, Thomas David Clarke, was apparently born in Solano County, California around 1855. He later moved to Canada, where he died in 1910. Two census records in Canada state that his parents were born in the U.S., but I may have recently found him on the 1880 census in Bodie, CA, which states that his parents were born in Canada! As you can see, I don't have a lot of information on this elusive ancestor, so I am trying all avenues. Thank you for any information you may be able to provide, Margaret Clarke mc2cold@hotmail.com
