Hugh,1850,Ohio~in Stevens Point,..then Manitoba?
Hi,
I have a info that my great-grandfather "Hugh Brooks" was born 1850 Cleveland, Ohio...... worked as a Land Locator and was in International Falls..Wisconsin sometime before1875.. (this may have been to do with the Railway)
Hugh's daughter (my grandmother) "Amy Rachel Brooks" was born in Steven's Point, Wisconsin in 1873.
.....some notepaper I found notes her as being born in Junction City? (would this be the same place?)
I need info on this Brooks line.....My Grandmother "Amy" married Ivan Smith from Manitoba, Canada and they lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Ivan's WW I death
I found a notebook with the following names & addresses;
.....Ezra & Lizzie Brooks (Pitsville, Wisconsin) born mid 1870"s ( it's noted here 69 yrs. & 67 yrs in 1945)
.....Bill Brooks - Plover, Wisconsin(& probably children in CNR Craig Siding, Manitoba)
.....Harry Brooks-Stevens Point
.....Mrs Anna E Brooks- Stevens Point
.....a cousin Ethel (Hoge) - Steven's Point
Thenames would be relations and most are Stevens Point or Plover, Wisconsin.
Please contact me or reply on forum if you are able to help me unravel some of these tidbits of info.
Does anyone recognize any of the above?
Does anyone have any access to do some type of look-ups to see if Hugh Brooks birth or marriage (& to whom) can be found.
Any kind of help or suggestions will be appreciated.
Dorothy
