I am looking for information/photos on Mary (nee: Ardo)and Steve Andress, Sr. Mary's brother, Louis, is my late maternal grandfather. Mary and Steve were married January 23, 1913 in St. Ladislaus Church, Lorain, OH and lived in Lorain, OH until they moved to Avon Park, FL, in 1958 to live with their son, Ernest "Ernie" Andress. They had another son, Steve, who lived in Cleveland. All attempts to make contact with them have lead to dead ends. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.

Joann,

The last time I looked there were no queries for Ardo, imagine my surprise and delight when I saw this tonight. My paternal grandfather was Louis Ardo b. 9/4/09 d. 7/86. He had a brother Joseph b. 9/26/1896 d. 2/72 in Lorain, Ohio. There is also a brother Frank, b. 1905 d. 1941;; sister Elizabet (that's the spelling of her name on the headstone) b. 1907 d. 1926; their parents are listed also: Joseph Sr b. 1868 d. 1930 and Josefne b. 1874 d. 1923. I do not know where Joseph was born or when Josefne and Joseph Sr came to the U.S. Does this sound like it could be your grandfather?

Jo Ann,

I'm not sure if my grandfather's family was every in Michigan, I would have to ask my mom. I always reply to messages when searching for relatives on the chance that there may be a connection, but there doesn't seem to be one this time. Thank you for the reply. Good Luck in your search. Lois

Joann,

I didn't know there was an "order" as it were, to naming the children. That's interesting. Yes, perhaps we are related. I'll keep in touch. Lois

Lois, thank you for your help. If I ever find my grandfather, I may find the link to your family also. I know my father, as in your family,was named according to Ardo tradition. Years ago, the first born son was always Joseph, the second born son was Louis and the third born was Frank. My Father is the eldest of two boys, he is named Joe and his brother is Louis, as in your grandfahters family. Perhaps our greatgrandfathers were cousins?? Well, kkep in touch. Please feel free to mail me at joanfred@one.net. do you have an e-mail?

If Joseph Ardo of Lorain is my grandfather, he was married to two women at the same time, and his birth year is one year off my Father's birth record. I did find a Joe Ardo deceased in Chicago. Was your "ardo clan" originally from MI. My Father know's his Dad, the missing Joe Ardo was origiannly from MI.
