Id...Aline,<br /><br />Thank you so much for the information!<br /><br />Ida Ellen Thompson (his wife) was my great-great-grandmother. James' stepchildren were from her first marriage to a Swedish man named Higgison. The child of James and Ida on record is either Rose, who died young, or else my great-grandmother, Ida Ellen Renaud (who's name was later changed to Cole when her mother remarried).<br /><br />That's really all the additional information I know. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me! <br /><br />-CarrieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10566036374392253919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25878624.post-14677408392545432542009-06-26T12:35:15.628-07:002009-06-26T12:35:15.628-07:00hello, I have did a brief search and I have sent f...hello, I have did a brief search and I have sent for information on his Naturalization Records in Minnesota, I asked if they would have his parents and location of birth, will see what they reply. found him in 1920 census with wife Ida and three stepchildren and one daughter. I figure he married Ida around 1912. His death records also may contain the names of his parents or place of birth. According to his WW1 Draft Card he was born Dec 11 1885 in Canada.<br />Alinealineskeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506261922533300739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25878624.post-39436323941669917962009-06-26T09:58:00.866-07:002009-06-26T09:58:00.866-07:00Hi there, I'm a new reader.

My family's been trying to find out more about him for years, but every trail goes cold.<br /><br />His name was James Celestine Renaud. He was my great-grandmother's father and the second husband of my great-great-grandmother. <br /><br />The only thing I know about his birth is that he was born in Canada sometime between 1870 and 1890. And according to my great-great gran, he was "French Canadian". <br /><br />I know how/when/where he died. He died in Minnesota in 1919/1920. He was a breakman on a train and was thrown off. <br /><br />That's all we know. And, like I said, we've been trying to find him for years now, but nothing has turned up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10566036374392253919noreply@blogger.com
