My father was born in Beach, North Dakota in 1917. My family says the town founding father was not any relation. Haven't checked this out tho. Just started this genealogy thing. Have a ways to go. His father was Troy Elsworth or Troy Edwin, maybe even another 'E' initial. (He had two or three brothers whom, as the story goes, came with across the 'big pond') Troy married Ella Cramer or Kramer. They moved to Kansas in about 1919. (That is also in the middle of our country, smile)
They/we also have relatives in Billings, whom I have met, but I didn't have the time nor inclination to ask the important questions. Duh. Would like to know any or all things related if indeed this is any connection.
