Wow, Thanks to all who answered my St Gabriel's request. I'm trying to find out what happened to my great grandfather, William Edward ECKERD. He was married to Bertha Laura ADELMAN, (d/o George B ADELMAN) They married in 1900 or 1902. They had two children, George Edward ECKERD, b. Nov 1907, and Lydia ECKERD b.1909 d. 1910. George either changed his name in honor of, or was adopted by his mothers second husband, Hugh Roberts (b. 1893 d. 1925) This has been the family mystery for over 60 years. What happened to William? Has anyone come across these names in their research? --Mary--
