Looking for information on James Robert Hamilton from Elwood, Illinois. James Robert was a French Canadian. Not sure to whom he was married but do know he had at least one son, Alexander Hamilton, born in 1882. He also had at least one daughter who married someone with the last name of Idsen. Sadly, that is all the "clues" I have at this time. I am actually attempting to locate the birth certificate for Alexander, my grandfather, who was born in Elwood, but having just been bitten by this genealogy bug I am discovering ANY information one can find will fed the fever. If anyone knows of James Robert or his son Alexander ... would you consider contacting me, please? I thank you in advance for your time and energy.
