It is with great anticipation that I decided to go to RootsTech 2013 in Salt Lake City. I admit that one the big draws was the Family Search Library was there. I thought what a great opportunity to try to break through the Brick Wall of what happened to John Sorell, JR. that married my G-Grandmother Minnie M. Howe in 1894. I have their marriage certificate and a piece of paper with the name of their children written down (as close as our family got to a bible).
- Mary Belle Sorell 4 Jul 1896
- Maude Emily Sorrel 19 Feb 1899
- Mildred Ida Sorrel 2 Nov 1900 died 30 Dec 1900
Supposedly Mary Sorell, my biological Grandmother was born in Ticonderoga, Essex, NY; all her later records state that. No record of her or her siblings at the Ticonderoga Town Clerk's office. No record of their births or Mildred's death at the Crown Point, Essex, NY Town Clerk's office. I do want to state for the record that even though New York is a Genealogist's nightmare that both town clerk's have been very accommodating but could not find anything for me.
It was with great hope that I thought someone could help me out at the Family Search Library in Salt Lake, but it wasn't meant to be. I'm still trying to find out how a whole family can fall completely through the cracks. The search will continue.
I have gone back and forth over Lake Champlain, like my ancestors did many years ago between New York and Vermont, but can't find any clues.
