Dear Jeanne,
Good to hear from you. Felix was my 3rd Great-Grandfather, but the Great-Grandfather of my Grandmother. Felix and his wife Mary Elizabeth Hutchins came to Traverse City, Michigan from New York with their children. I'm descended from their daughter Phoebe Ebare Steinebach. Phoebe and her husband owned a grocery store across the road from St. Mary's Catholic Church, and the couple were both staunch Catholics. Both I and my Grandmother's sister have been trying to trace this family back. If you have any info. it would be MOST appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Most Sincerely, Adam Youker (
