I find George and his family in Bay City, MI, in 1900. They are indexed with the spelling "COPLAND". George was born Feb 1862 and Sarah in July 1874, both in "English Canada". George came to the US in 1884 and Sarah in 1887. Both had been naturalized. George worked as a "flag man"; did this have to do with the railroad? In 1900, they had been married 6 years. Sarah had one child born and living, so it appears that Violet was their only child. dotsicle

To continue what I found on George Copeland in 1900 Bay City MI.... 1910 shows George and Sarah with Violet still in Bay City, Bay Co MI, but places of birth are different. George is 43 and a machinist. Sarah is 32, has had one child, now living. Violet is 15, born in Michigan. This year, George is said to have been born in NY, father Ireland, mother England. Sarah was born in Mich., parents in Canada. Have not located this family, or any members, in 1920. Nancy dotsicle
