Sorry that I had not answered previously, I thought I had! I may have sent you a direct email, honestly, I can't remember. So, nearly a year later, here we go.
Growing up, I was only told that I was part French Canadian. Until a couple of years ago when some of the story about T.B. Cressman came to light, I didn't know that it was 25%. TB's mother did the same as my mother and used her maiden name as his middle name. The initials stood for Tillman Bauman. His son, also named Tillman was not a junior. His middle name was Melvin.
I have a memory of being told at one time that there were either 10 or 11 children in the family. Not all survived to adulthood.
My uncles and aunts that I knew were Cecil, Tillman, Ralph, Gladys, Lorene, Ethel and Clifford.
I would like to hear about Barbara. My email is ancestorcheck@verizon.net.
