I believe Marie was his illegitimate child, as we've looked into my grandpas history his mothers name was Marie; her father we only knew as James the same as my grandpas middle name. Michael James Alberts, Little river tribe.
ReplyDeleteMy husband's grandmother is named Marie Alberts and her son, my husband's father, was Michael James Alberts. Time frame fits well for Marie to be James' daughter. Also, my husband said his grandmother had a family member as Ogema of the Grand Traverse Band.
