This shud be of interest to Nancy Hammer as this fellow, Albert C, was the son of George A Lud, a bro to her g/g/grandfather Alfred. Seems that Albert C moved from WI to MI and then to IN where many of the cousins lived? Albert C was also the inventor of the snare drum for which he he held a patent.
