I am at a dead end and wonder if anyone can direct me further. Jessie May Strokal, a native american child born May 17, 1889 in WI was adopted by bohemian immigrant Joseph and Josephine Strokal. They lived in Masonville, Delta County Michigan and are listed in the 1900 census there. Jessie was baptized at St Mary Catholic Church in Tomahawk WI May 10, 1890. She had an older brother who was adopted by another family and possible raised in Canada or so the family has told us. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Dad, before he died said she was of cherokee family. Cant find anything on adoption in WI. Our cousin and I put a picture of her on ancientfaces.com She married Mathew Burns in IL. Thank you for any help Patricia Burns
