Lottie Sears LaFlash Root in VT around 1885
Looking for information regarding the wife of Elmer Edmond Racine Root.I cannot find her Birth certificate-rumor has it as Feb 1885 Huntington, VT.Her marriage to Elmer Root is in 1901 in Burlington, vT and parents listed are Napolean LaFlash and Josephine Bashaw.BUT on the birth certificates of 3 of her 11 children, including Clermont A Root (my grandfather), she lists her name as Lottie M Sears.Her death certif in BTV says her parents are Wm Sears of Canada and Etta M Rounds of VT.
HOW is Napolean LaFlash her father if Sears is her father???? Anyone know about an adoption???Family stories have always been told that Josephine was NOT her biological mom but no one can prove it...
