I am new to the list and I do need some help. For years I have been trying to find some information about the brothers of my grandfather. Harry and Arthur Choate grew up in Madison County, Iowa. Their parents were Able and Caroline Choate. Around the turn of the century, both Harry and Arthur left home and the story that was passed down to me was that they were never heard from again. Able died in 1908. His will was written in 1906. It stated that these sons had already received their share of the estate and would receive no more. In the probate packet were the names and addresses of all of Abel's children. Both men were listed but there was a question mark where their addresses should have been. A year or so ago, I found on the message board at Ancestry.com a query about Harry's ancestors. I e-mailed back but never got a response. The message stated that Harry had lived in Washington but had changed his name to Harry Young. I would like to know why. He had died in Seattle in 1941 , I think. I would very much like to correspond with anyone who might know anything about either Harry or Arthur. Their nieces would be very interested as well as other members of the family. I would be happy to share the information I have about the Choate family if someone would contact me. Marjorie Kinkade
