Posted on: STEELE Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/s/t/STEELE/queries/10200 Surname: Steele ------------------------- Hi to all! I'm trying to find information about my mother's family. Her father was Walter (nmn) Steele. To the best of my knowledge he was born in or lived in Richmond Indiana in his youth. He was born January 12, 1890. His father's name was Clarence. His mother's maiden name was either Shoop or Shoup. Clarence Steele died before Walter reached adulthood and his mother remarried. Walter was raised in the Quaker religion. He apparently left Indiana and did not keep in close touch with his family. Does anyone out there have any records of Walter Steele's siblings, parents, grandparents etc.? (btw, Walter gave himself the middle name of Sidney as an adult.)
