Re: Robert Wade
In Response To: Re: Robert Wade ()

My mom may be new to this, but I took several courses in Family History in college and even with these skills I have a hard time verifying anything that BF Wade Sr said about his life. In one census he'll say his parents are from Isle of Man and in another he'll say Scotland and in yet another he'll say England. He's just as uncertain about the birthplace of his mother. In fact his Death Certificate states that that the birth place of either parent is "unknown". The informant on the death certificate is his own son. How could his own son not know where his grandparents were born? This is the hurdle we have been dealing with for decades.
