Surnames: Lawrence, Loder Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DAw.2ACIB/1722 Message Board Post: I am trying to locate any information regarding a Frank Lawrence born Feb. 19, 1845 in Gardiner, Maine. The only thing I know of his childhood was that he remembered a brother Fred and twin sisters - Margaret and Amy. He thought there were eight or nine children in the family. He was hired as a cabin boy when he was young and remained with the same Captain until he docked in San Francisco in 1865. Does anyone have any clues as to this family?
