I have been doing some work on my family tree,though parts of the tree slower than others. A first cousin twice removed is how the family tree program I have describes a woman who married into the branch I have started to work on just briefly. Ruby Margaret Sycks is the name of the person,and her first husband was John Turtle. The marriage certificate between these two was issued in Blue Earth County, Minnesota. Ruby's second marriage was in Chisago County, Minnesota. The listings for a John Turtle I do have presently,one lived 1903-1976 and the other from 1924-1991,both list their mother's maiden name as "Bell". The History Center in St. Paul,Mn. should be of help for me to check out the limited info I have of the 3 John Turtle's from the mnhs.org website too. The third John Turtle,lived from 1936-2000,and had passed away in Blue Earth County, Minnesota,mother's maiden name for him was Gilbertson. As far as I know,no! knowledge of any children with John and Ruby,as well as with Ruby's second marriage. So far,just not sure which John Turtle was married to Ruby,I'm just starting out with this branch,not sure how far back I'll go with it.
