I'm looking for anyone with information about my ancestors originating from canada and watertown where my father was born and my sister. My father is the last Clearo besides me and I'm a female. My father is David Dewey Clearo, my dads mothers name was Jean, and I think he was named after his dad possibly Dewey??? I dont think i'll ever find out.

The family name was changed from the french spelling, Cleroux to the Americanized version we now have Clearo. I just stumbled on your post and I think I can help fill in some of the gaps. Dewey Clearo was my great uncle my grandfather; Martin Clearos', brother. I also notice one your post or replies mentioned Lashure, that was my grandmothers' maiden name but I've come up blank on that part of the family tree.

Hi Sam, So I guess you can say we are related in a way. I found quite a bit of info on Clearo, but if you have other info, I'd love to hear from you, right now my own computer is in the shop, I'm using my moms, but will check my email for any new mail from hers till I get mine back. I'd like to talk with you some more, I live in Ft.Lauderdale, FL. Dewey Clearo was my grandfather, my dads' middle name is Dewey. Well Take Care and write back if you'd like, I could invite you to my family site. - Chris C.

Hi Tom, I too was born in Watertown but grew up in Syracuse. Was your grandfather a barber? I remember my dad; Charles Clearo, taking us to uncle Louie's barber shop for hair cuts when we were kids before we left Watertown. My grandfather was Martin Clearo Sr., Louie's brother. It might interest you to know that my older brother Charles Jr. lives in Plant City it seems we all gravitatied to warmer weather.

Sandy, My grandfather was Louie Clearo, Martin's brother. I have a family photo of all the brothers (Lyndon, Louie, Dewey, Martin, McKinley, Ambrose, Emory) the two sisters (Virgiline and Madeline) and our great grandparents Fred Clearo and Anna (Lashure) Clearo that was taken when the boys were young adult men. It is a reproduction of the original and I think my sister has the original. I have no information on Anna Lashure Clearo. It is so unusual to hear of another Clearo since most times all you hear of is Cleary. I have yet to run across another Clearo. I live in Mt. Laurel, NJ.

Hi Cheryl,
Is there any chance I could get a copy of the picture you have of all the Clearo brothers and sisters and my great grand parents Fred and Anna? I would be willing to pay for the remake. Let me know, thanks.
Sam Clearo

Hello, I have been away from the ancestry search for awhile since I started school. My name is Christina, I am the youngest daughter of David Dewey Clearo, I live in Ft.Lauderdale Fl, my dad is 75 now, he gave me some old pictures as well, I have one of Uncle Lyndon, and a few other men with him. His nickname was Uncle "Push", I would love to hear from you or Sam, I think it's all very fascinating researching my family name Clearo. I don't have many pics though so I hope to hear from you. My email is clearo_6@hotmail.com or PSDuchess@comcast.net
