We now have three genealogy files on this site: our main database which is a combined ‘Ives-Leedom’ tree, plus two additional working trees with so-far unconnected people I've found along the way, ‘Leedoms-unknown’ and ‘Netherlands-unknown’. All of the Search results will identify which tree contains the individual or place in question.

Different sources sometimes have conflicting information and there are undoubtedly a few typographical errors in here as well. Please feel free to send us any corrections to errors you may find in our files. Additions are always welcome too!

    Notes 
    • Information from 'Michigan Death Certificates, 1921-1952' - names his parents as Andrew and Sarah A. (Dye) Fairfield (FamilySearch.org - a transcription and not an image). A family tree at Ancestry.com lists Ezra W. and Lydia Ann (Fox) Fairfield as having had a son Walter H. Fairfield - 1878 to 1925 (Fields/Fox family tree). The 1910 census of Grand Rapids, Kent MI lists them with a "son" Walter H. Fairfield age 34, "widower", b. PA, both parents from NY - though the census shows his parents from OH and PA. That census page is dated 21 Apr 1910. Another census page, dated 18 Apr 1910 shows Walter H. Fairfield age 32 b. MI, parents from OH and NY, in Grand Rapids and married to Gertrude age 31 b. MI and both parents from NY. Walter and Gertrude married 7 years and no children. Marriage record of Walter to Gertrude names his parents as Ezra and Lydia. The census listing Walter as a "widower" residing with his parents is mistaken as the 1920 census shows him and Gertrude residing in Grand Rapids that year.
