Hi, Ithas been a long time since you wrote this but i have to reply. I hope maybe we can figure something out here, because my grandfather was a Foote and his mom and father were also in the same area. otsego michigan and kalamazoo michigan. Also East Jordan michigan. Could you get back with me on my e-mail and let me no if you have any other names. I have a Francis,Christopher, Elmer, Martin,Hilon, Frank, Foote. And Almeda Slater,Rose Ardell Smith,Slater,Hood,. And Charlotte Parker (Foote). My grandfather was born in Gaylord Otsego Michigan and lived there till he came to Saginaw when he was older. I think 16 or so. He was Fredrick Martin Foote. His brother was Hilon Foote, sister was Vernice Foote, Married Earl Stafford and moved to Grayling. Christopher and Charlotte were his grandparents. Almeda was grandpas mom and his father was Elmer Foote. Almeda's mom was Rose Ardell Smith or Slater or Hood. She was married a lot. Her sister was Celia Slater whom married a Charles Armstrong and they lived in kalamazoo i believe. Do you happen to connect with any of these names? I hope something comes of this. Please E-mail me at blablabootwo@yahoo.com if you would like to find out anything or if maybe you can let me know something more than what i have so far. I have been doing research for a few years now for my mother. Fredrick Martin Foote was her father. And she really loves it when i come into contact with people .
