McLaughlin Mystery
The year was 1911, and the month of September brought forth the arrival of Helen Mary McLaughlin to parents Katherine M. Dushek (of Wisconsin) and John McLaughlin (of North Dakota (?)) It was said that my grandmother Helen was born in Bismarck, North Dakota. Now here is where the mystery lies… The capital building in Bismarck where the records were stored burned. We don't know if Katherine and John ever got married or exactly what happened to John.
My grandmother Helen said that her father John was born in Bismarck as well. All she gave us was his name and birthplace. I don't know if she knew any more about him? We will never know. She past away at the age of 90 just two weeks shy of 91 years of age. We are hoping that this mysterious John McLaughlin has family members that know/knew of my grandmother or great-grandmother. We are not sure if John was born in North Dakota or if he was from Wisconsin.
Can you give us any clues????
