I don't have much information as all I'm working with is memory; trying to remember things my mother, now deceased, said in passing. Unfortunately, I was raised in a different part of the country and have not seen any aunts, uncles or cousins in over 30 years. Here is what I know: Ida May Leech/Leach b. May 17 1902 d.Sep 29 1978 in Monroe under the last name Harvath ( 2nd marriage ) She may have had a sister Beulah and one named Vi. Mom mentioned that she had aunts by those names but I'm not sure if they were maternal or paternal. I do know that Ida May had a large number of siblings. I did check the 1920 Michigan census and found an Ida May Leach, age 17, born in Lenawee Co. Adrian Township. It sounds like a match except I believe I was told Ida May was born in either Newport or Old Port. Ida May married Arthur Sylvester Johnson b.April 19 1899, Indiana d. Dec 1966 in Michigan. Their children were Nora Elizabeth ( my mother ) b. March 11 1921, Monroe d. April 2 1993 Greeley Colorado. Arthur Sylvester Jr., Monroe Harriet ( adopted, but not certain it was legal or formal ) Evelyn I. b. January 8 1927 (?) Monroe La Donna or Donna, Monroe Ida May's father may have been Amos, but I'm not even sure where that name came from so I don't know how valuable that is. Mother's name may have been Alice or Josephine. I'm pretty sure of those names, though which is which I can't recall. I don't have a cemetary name for Ida May; all I have is a card from the ALLORE Funeral Home. The family tree that my aunt Evelyn constucted, I had only a brief glimpse of and that was about 15 years ago. I remember a Jean Baptiste Bomier ca. 16?? in Canada was the earliest entry. Somewhere in the line there was an Adrienne Barbeau that married a Bomier. I only remember that name because of the the actress by the same name. I wish I had more to go on, but I appreciate your offer of assistance. Thanks! Ida
