Looking for any information on my Grandmother or her family. Her name was Wilma Erwin Dow, daughter of William W. Dow, born in New York. Her mother was Mary A. Everett Dow, born in Chicago, IL. Wilma's birthdate was September 2, 1885 and Chateaugay Lake New York was listed as her birthplace. She later settled in Westport CT where she married my Grandfather, Charles E. McELwee. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Barbara McDonald Mesa, AZ
