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!

    • Listed in Berrien County City Directory of 1892 as boarding with Sarah J. Gilson , widow of Alonzo, who resided e s Main 3 s of Port (east side of Main, 3 blocks south of Port). Also listed as boarding with Sarah is a Frederick Gilson. Listed in 1870, as age 4 b. MI, with parents at Watervliet Twp. (Coloma post office) in Berrien Co.. 1920 census lists Myron and Cora in Chicago IL. No children are listed, they possibly did not have children. His occupation is listed as conductor on railroad. Myron's "aunt" Sarah Gilson listed living with them at Chicago in 1920 - she was age 77 b. PA both parents from PA. Myron's mother Sarah would have been 77 in 1920 and she was b. PA, both parents from PA. Is calling her "aunt" in the census an error, or was Myron the son of another Gilson but raised by Alonzo and Sarah Gilson?
