First time poster here. This is just a shot in the dark, but I'll give it a try. I descend from the SCALES family in N MI & Canada. My great grandfather was Alex SCALES; however, I am not absolutely positive that the Alexander E. SCALES of the census, data presented below, is the same person. I write here because, per the 1900 census, Alexander SCALES' grandmother was b. in NY. according to all 3 "brothers" (living side by side w/parentage from same places); they'd said in 1910 that she was b. in PA, so I joined that list, too. Please contact me if you might recognize this Mr. SCALES b. in Ireland who married a NY lady.
