    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ZFB.2ACI/4060.2.1 Message Board Post: I'm not sure which father you are referring to.. :~) Florence Bilodeau was the daughter of Ida Benoit and Alfred Bilodeau. (I have her birth certificate) Florence married Raphael Fardella in 1921. (I have thier marriage license) Amelia's parents were Florence and Raphael, but with Amelia dissappearing she may not know who her father was seeing she did not see him since 1. (I have Amelia's birth certificate as well) As for Leo, I have no idea who his father was. Leo and Francis were born prior to Florence marrying Raphael. Francis (Uncle Frank) went by Bilodeau, his mother's maiden name. He refused to talk about his mother or what happened the day Raphael brought him and Leo to the orphanage, all he said was that they were brought there, but under the name Fardella because that was Raphael's last name. He had no idea what ever happened to Leo. We have never found him. I wonder if his biological father found out where he was and came and got him, but for some reason or another did not get Frank, I have no idea. Maybe he was adopted, or being older, maybe ran away.
