    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

But, I have a theory based on what I've seen. There appear to be 3 birth dates for him. 27 Feb 1884 (WWI Draft Registration) 28 Feb 1886 (WWII Draft Reistration) 29 Feb 1888 (Cournoyer Family Tree Public Member Tree Unsourced) Preview Name: Wilbert Ford Birth: 02-29-1888 (29 Feb 1888) - PA Death: 1943 - Southbridge, Massachusetts, USA Wilbert Ford Rose Marie Girard unknown unknown I did find a "William" Ford, born in Feb 1888, listed as "nephew" living with John and catharine HALL in Mount Carmel in 1900. There are also a set of twins, John and Alfred FORD, b. June 1885, in 1900 living in Mount Carmel listed as "boarders" with Joseph and Mary FORD. Looking at the 1880, there is a couple who does not show up in 1900 named John and Mary FORD with children, Joseph aged 10, Maria aged 5, Harriet aged 4, and Mary E aged 1. They live next door to Alfred FORD age 60. So, it may be possible that John and Mary are the parents of twins John and Alfred, and possibly of "William" or Wilbert who would have gone to live with relatives upon the demise of their parents. Have you looked for Wilbert's Death Certificate from MA in 1943? Just a theory... Greg Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
