Hi...my name is Debbie and my GGrandmother was Bessie Cabanaw from South Bend, In. Her father Francis Frank Cabanaw was born in Canada, April 12, 1860. and lived in South Bend most of his life. I found an obituary for a Frank Cabanau, born in Windsor, Canada August 23, 1823 and moved to South Bend and lived in the area for 38 yrs. He is survived by 10 children. None listed in the obit. My question is, is Cabanau the french spelling of Cabanaw? And could this Frank be Francis's father?....If you'd like to email me, send to
