Hi Carol,
Was very curious about your Gelinas lines, as my son-in-law is a Gelinas.Not sure if there might be some kind of connection.However, did a bit of research and remembered what I went through researching my own lines "Messier" and the "Gelinas" line.Both are french and both were butchered when they entered the United States.This was made so much worse when you consider that our ancestors probably spoke broken english.
Found the following...

Gel__las, Joseph, 31, b. MI, F.b. Canada-Fre. & M.b. Canada-Fre., occu:Foreman???

Louis Jr with his wife, Minnie are living in the (14th Precinct--Ward #4)
William Ruel with his wife, Georginna or Georgianna (can't read it very well) are also residing in that area.
I have a feeling that your family is somewhere in there too, but further checking needs to be done.
What year was Delores born?
I'll get back to you when have time to search a bit more.
