Thanks for that. I usually have to find a stopping point when going down the rabbit hole of someone else's extended family.

 Susan D, my "stopping point" was exhaustion, does it every time -- topping off your WT day with more profiles ... tsk said my common sense to me ... but fun ...

Right. Once I start adding parents of the profile in question, and siblings, and parents of parents, and spouses of siblings, and children of siblings...sometimes you just have to offer it up to the Universe and see if someone with a family connection will take over.

Answer 1

I'll keep an eye on him. I adopted Clara, his wife, my grgrandfather's sister. I may have a lead on a marriage record, and if it pans out, I'll add it.

Comments

Added the marriage record from Macoupin county, added to his wife Clara Smee's profile and created a profile for their daughter Martha. Oliver and Clara only had one child live to adulthood and Martha had none. Maybe someone from the nieces or nephews will adopt...
