He was born in Canada in 1873-- parents were E.T. Edwards and Sarah Wilkinson. He married my grandfather's sister Nettie G. Gould in 1896 in Carlinsville,Macoupin County,IL. They adopted their daughter Margaret in 1900/1901. I have several questions about this couple. First of all are there any records or photos available for Grand Rapids Medical School? Does this school still exist? There is another Eliphalet Edwards who is a doctor in Grand Rapids and his family came from Canada also. Does any one know if he is related to my Eliphalet Edwards? Does anyone have access to the 1900 census that might be willing to do a lookup for both Eliphalet Edwards for me? And last question -- where would one look for adoption records in Kent County? Thanks for all your help.
