I did the late night, pj thing, last night. Untangleing the Rogers/Gowell family is proving to be as difficult as discovering Fred's birth mother parents.
I was able to track Bertie May in the 1900 Census and the 1905 Census for Minnesota, living with her parents, Herbert T. (L)?? with with his wife Carrie and 5 and 6 children resepectively. First in Eau Claire, WI and then in Mpls., MN. Birdie May's DOB agree with other sources. By 1910 she is listed with her parents as May Williams, married for 2 yrs, and with a son Raymond T. Williams age 1 yr 3 mo. She is missing from the family in 1920.
Raymond Williams shows up in 1920 as a 11 yr old, living in Deep Creek, MT. However his parents are listed as Joe T and Anna age 38? Raymond is shown as being born in MN as well as is his mother. Bertie Mae is listed as being born in WI. (Wrong family, possibly) No other Raymond Williams is found in the 1920 census at age 11, born in MN.
I have looked at death and birth records for Bertie May and Raymond with out sucess.
