I am Searching for My Grandfather and my Ggrandfather and Ggrandmother. I know my Grandfather was born In Iowa on May 21 or 22, 1890. I am not sure where. I also Know my Ggrandmother died in Iowa in 1894 or so, and am looking for any info that might be found but especially my ggrandfathers name and ggrandmothers name and their places of birth. I think they were both Irish but not sure when the family Immigrated. My Grandfathers name was Frank ( Franklin?) McCullum. It could have also been Jonathan McCullum but we called Him Grandpa Frank. I know when His mom died the children (5?sibling) were adopted out to others, my grandfather was raised by a DeBolt family which may or may not have been an uncle. There was newspaper article written about this but I have not been able to locate it. My Aunt Susie (McCullum Maiden name) Lived in Emmetsberg all her life I believe, I remember visiting her many years ago when I was little in 1963-64 I do not know her Maiden name. I also have located a Great uncle Raymond McCullum In that area in the military W.W.I records I believe the youngest one of the families name was Willie he was lost to the Family after the mother and possibly father died in1894 (?). They may have had a house fire and one or both died in the fire I am not sure.
