Dear Jerrald and other Listers! Thank you very much, Jerrald, for your quick reply to my inquiry from yesterday! I also saw that John Elverson who moved to MacLeod, AB, but then I discovered he was married and had several children born before 1900. Finally I also found him living in Chippewa Co., WI in 1900, so he is definitely NOT the one we want... I guess we have to hope for the appearance of a newspaper item about John Elvethun/Elverton...? Very sincerely yours, Lars E.

Dear Lars, Did you type the dates wrong? If he was on Wisconsin in 1900, he might have moved to Alberta Canada by 1911. All the best Sincerely, Barbara in MA On 3/27/2015 12:38 PM, Lars E.
