Does anyone have any info on this family?Apparently John was married before Anna, but I cannot find anything other than a daughter that was born 6 years before his marriage to Anna.I find John and Anna in census for years 1900 and 1910.I can't find John before 1900 or after 1910. I have info on Anna. Henry was my grandfather. Would be interested in any info on other children. 1.
