Hi Michael,
My father's father was George H. Almy. George Almy was born in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Andrew Allison Almy was George's father. We are not sure where Andrew was born or when and where he died. As I said online, on the census he listed his place of birth as France. My father remembers that his uncle went "up the river" (Illinois, Indiana, or Ohio maybe?) to represent the family when he died, but no one remembers where or when that was.
Do you think that we are talking about the same Andrew Almy? I hope were are because we've been researching this for 13 years now and keep hitting dead ends. I also have pictures; many old pictures. My Dad knows who some of them are, but not all of them. I think most of them are from the Tresch side of the family however, but there are some of the Almy's also.
Please let me know if you think we share the same great-grandfather. I hope we do.
