My dad William G. Pierson was born in 1925 in Baraboo, Wisconsin. My grandparents split up when my dad was very young, because my great grandmother didn't like my grandfather. She felt my grandfather, Leander Pierson was no good, and that was the reason they split. My great grandma Catherine took my grandma Grace and her son Bill (my Dad) to live in Spokane Washington for a couple of years. Then family moved back to Wisconsin. Years later my grandparents moved back in together when my Dad was in high school. ( But never remarried.) That missing time was never explained or accounted for. It is possible this man could be your mother's father. DO you know his first name or any other information? I have heard my grandfather's family owned a quarry, and family members lived in Milwaukee. Your mother and my Dad could be half brother and sister. I am not a member of Ancestry.com. I am using the free trial membership.
