I received this letter and thought I would pass it along to see if anyone could help. Ramonyca "I am looking for the lineage of Lester Ray Benedict of Gilman, Iowa. At least that's what is on my birth certificate. The information states that he was 48 years old and married to Marie Jeanette Brodeur (second wife?). The date was August 17,1 943. They lived in Bloomington, California, at that time. The paternal grandparents, if I remember right, lived in Riverside, California. The parents were both musicians. The reason that I am looking for this now, is at the age of 55, I have developed some unusual arthritis problems. I was an adopted child, as well as my brother Leon Edward Benedict. We are on the family tree maker disk, under the name of Edward Leon Brodeur--mother's father." CONTACT: Marie J. Benedict < [email protected] > Thank you! Ramonyca Howard
