Nancy, Thank you for your help, I appreciate it Frederick and Ida "Jane" are my greatgranparents. They use to own a laundry in Clayton and all the family worked very hard there. They also use to have a farm in Newfield but I don't know where. I've established a connection with "Jane" Crane Ladd's, ancestors on the Crane side with her name (1862 1914). She had a sister named Emma Crane who married Ralph Mote. I'm trying to locate links to Ladd or Crane names previous to Fred and "Jane." Thanks for your help. Joan in NJ
