Surnames: Alger, Gustin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1AC.2ACI/1793 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on the family of my Ira Alger. He was born about 1826 in Vermont. His family later removed to Stanstead, Stanstead, Quebec. I don't know when exactly, but he married there in 1848 to a Mary Ann "Polly"Gustin. They had 7 children that were born in Canada, Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa. They moved a lot. Ira had more than one wife. Can't recall the others names, but would gladly work to help other researchers of this family. Ira finally died in South Dakota about 1909.
