Hi Everyone, My name is Melinda Daughtry, I live in Virginia, Most people are searching ggg's and ggggreats and I am searching for my grandfather, I have found ggg's on other branches but not this one. His name is Gordon R. TEARE, Born: Circa 1903 in Wheaton , MN (Traverse County). Adopted by a Mary DUNN TEARE in River FAlls, I have heard via his youngest son, it was thru an agency in St Paul/ Minneapolis, (I have learned you do not believe everything you hear) I understand he went to River Falls High, I need to check the year books, but there not on line. LOL I understand that Angus and Maizie Dunn are relatives I have ordered the 1910 census from Heritage Quest, should be here in 2 wks hopefully that will help. I will be glad to do some look ups when it gets here. I have been told he was good friends with Chalmer Davee........not sure if thats a lead or not.....I know he did move to North Carolina, He married my g/m Sarah Irene Burke about 1929, My father was born, 1930, They divorced, and my father never saw him again, to my knowledge. My uncle did. Last my uncle knew he was in St Joseph, MO around 1981 and has since died. The fact that he was adopted, doesn't mean that I do not want to know his family. Yes, it would be nice to know who the real parents are, but I would not have a clue how to go about that, (I can't find out anything about him or his adoptive mom, how could I find out anything about the real thing) LOL................................ I know there was a William Teare listed on the 1880 census in Traverse Co, MN and a Charles Teare listed on the 1860 census in Pierce Co, WI I may have this revesed. notes are at home. Someone suggested it could have been a family adoption. Wouldn't that be nice. Also some Teare's listed on the Canadian Census? Not sure of that yet. btw: the R might stand for Ramond or Ramon, as one child was named Gordon, the other Ramon.. Just a thought. Well thank you for reading; Any help would be so appreciated. and remember if I can do anything for anyone here in VA, just let me know. Melinda
