Hello Rooters: I am new to this list. I am researching my husband's ancestors, in Turtle Lake. George W. Stewart was b. 1867 and his brother, Adam Stewart b. June 1868. both in PA. At some point in time they moved to Turtle Lake and Adam worked in railroading. George m. a woman named Josephine, b. in Canada. They had a dau. named Lilian, b. abt 1906. Adam m. Anna/Annie Gordon, who was b. July 1872 in Hersey, St. Croix Co.,WI. Their ch. were Charles, b. 1892; Ernest,b. Dec.26,1894; Earl Frank, b. Aug. 25,1895, and my husband's grandmother, Ellen, b. Oct. 1898. Does anyone have any information at all concerning this family? I believe all 4 of Adam's children were born in Turtle Lake, but I found only one birth certificate for Earl. I have tried getting the birth certificate for Ellen, but the state of WI can not find the record. My husband's mother, Anna Catharine, was the daughter of Ellen and her husband, John Downey. She was born in LaCrosse,WI and given up for adoption when she was 2-3 years old. I would like to find out more about this family and why she was given up. Perhaps it was the flu epidemic? Any information about this family will be most helpful. I would especially like to find a living relative.
