I saw your message as a reply to someone elses question about a different family name . Tell me who your mothet and father are . and if you have more information of your grandmother let me know and I will seek further in my records . I am married to George J Bullo Jr. he is the son of George J Bullo Sr. So not to get to confused of the names . We have a son also named george J Bullo . My information came from my father in law George . His parents were John Bullo and Lillian turner . There are several disaggreements of the spelling of the last name . we were given the correct spelling by George Sr so we would know of the family name after he passed away and I have this confirmed by another family member . . Also I was with my father inlaw many years ago when he had to file some papers regarding his aunts grave and saw the spelling .There was John , his brother and his sister , and his father Francis . Neither John or his father knew how to write english , so when they went into Wisconsin / Minnesota from Canada some one wrote the name as it sounded . Bullo . But I havent confirmed that yet as being the absolute fact ,it could have been when francis came from France into Canada Johns sister refused to use the new spelling of the name . . John had 2 girls by his 1st marriage . They had trouble trying to get a bith citificate . I know there has been some that have informed our daughter inlaw that she is wrong when saying how the last name used to be spelled . But we have told her the spelling she has was given to us and it is the true spelling . Beauliaux . Does any of this help you . Let me know I have collected piles of notes of the family and I will look at them carefully if you send me your parents name and what ever you have so can try to help . Fern Bullo
