Just recently I've learned that my gggrandmother may have been married with a child prior to her marrying my gggrandfather." My answer to the first question is that it could easily happen; that she could be following a sibling to the US, or some from the family of her dead husband. On the second matter, I too, have a gggrandmother who came over with a babe in arms; following the man she would marry in Minnesota later that year. Bart
