My name is Danielle CLARK. I'm going off of very limited and vague information. I'm looking for any information or possible relatives in Steuben Co and/or Angola. My grandfather was Thomas D Clark (died in the 1980's I believe) also known to have been dishonorably discharged. He is believed to have worked in Toledo, Ohio as a car salesman too. His father was William Doyle Clark. He was a Captain in the Navy. William married a woman named Adah (maiden name unknown) who died and later remarried a woman name Jeanette. When he passed she left Indiana for Heartland, Florida. I never met my grandfather Thomas Clark (and most say this is a good thing.) but I would like to know the CLARK side of my family as all that is left is my father, his half-sister and my half-sister.

 

Any help would be extremely appreciated!

I'm looking for biological parents of WILLIAM GEORGE OTTO born abt 1873 possibly Michigan or IN. Adoptive parents were CHRISTIAN & MARY E PARTRIDGE OTTO of Millgrove, Steuben, IN. I have a lot of info on this family but the adoption/bio parents remains a mystery. (I know George was adopted as documented in Christian's will of 1879.) Apparently there was also an older child in the home who may have been adopted named Eunice MORSE born in Michigan around 1856 but my main interest lies in W G OTTO since he is my gg-grandfather.
