The Batraw name was anglized from Bertrand. My grandfather Moses changed his last name to Batraw sometime after he married his second wife Mabel, my grandmother. Eloise was my mother's half sister, but I remember her and Uncle Andy. If you want to e-mail me I will be happy to give you what I have on the Batraw's.
