I am trying to help my half bro find answers to the mystery of who his grandfather was. His grandfather was Ben Thorp, Bens parents are a mystery. We have found a small boy and woman with the same last name in a cemetery in Lacrosse co. and we feel there is a good chance this maybe his grandfathers mother and bro.. We would need death cert. data off these peoples death cert to find out. We are hoping more clues would come with this info. My half bro is on the other side of WI and hoping someone can help him in this area by looking up this data. Sarah E. Thorp died 10/26/1878 wife of G.R. Thorp 32 yrs old 4months 4 days Bryon Thorp died 6/1/1876 1 yr 5 months 22 days old son of G.R. and S. E. we are not sure who G.R. Thorpe is and he is not in the cemetery, from old stories seems grandfather Ben was a orphan or lived as a boy as a lodger..PLZZZ help best regards, Tam tammy54321@hotmail.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
