Question

Do you have any connection to my Grandfather, Gilbert White Dean d. Stephenson, MI.?

Answer 1

There was a Gilbert White Dean born 26 Jul 1875 in the U.S. He registered for the draft in WWI at Menominee Co., MI.

There was also a Gilbert W. Dean who was married to Mitilda Nance and had a child, Gilbert Mckinley Dean who died at 1 yr old at Stepenson, Menominee, MI.

They are probably the same person, but you would know best.
