Some trees on Ancestry have a Gertrude (Gould) Nedaeski listed as a child of James and Carrie (Kendall) Gould. This is wrong. Carrie (Gould) Nedaeski's parents are Alfred Gould and Carrie Bennett. See the following Ancestry record New York, County Marriage Records, 1847-1849, 1907-1936. In 1940, Gertrude is living with her mother, Carrie (Bennett) Gould in Erie, Erie, Pennsylvania, not to be confused with Carrie (Kendall) Gould, who I believe had moved to Montana in the early 1930's.
