Hi Laura
Levi Gedbaw's parents were Francis Gedbaw and Mary Pare (Perry). Levi's brother Francis was my GGGrandfather. Levi and Francis were two of Francis and Mary's 12 children (I only know the names of five - Alexander, Francis, Levi, Margarite and Marie). Levi died July 29, 1950. You will find his obituary as well as a number of other articles about him in the online Ogdensburg newspaper I mentioned in my previous posting (Ralph and I believe your grandfather Richard's name also came up in searches). You might also find this short biography of Alexander Gedbaw (Gadbois) interesting (
