Looking for Sandy, Judy, or Patsy Gedbaw who used to live on long island and moved upstate to Ogdensburg, NY with their parents, Harry and Sally. There might have been 4 girls in the family. The Johnsons would like to hear from them.

This is a bit sensitive, but here we go. My father, John Ring, sired four daughters by Laura Gedbaw, out of wedlock, in the approximate time frame of 1930-1940. He lived in Ogdensburg, NY and they lived together in upstate NY(Ogdensburg vicinity) for a period of years until Laura left and as best I understand, went West. This is second hand information from John's sister, Genevieve Powers/Phelps. I'm clueless, but Genevieve said Laura was the love of his life. I'm just wondering if there is any connection - working on geanology, as you might guess. Jackie Ring, Albany, NY

Jackaline Ring,
I don't know if you're still looking for information, as I just found this site today, however, my name is also Laura Gedbaw, and I grew up in Ogdensburg, NY, however I am in my 20s. I was told that I was named after a relative of my father's Laura Gedbaw, who would be about that age. I could find information for you, if you're still looking.

Laura,Delighted to hear from you.My father, John H.Ring (died 1960,age 70)and Laura Gedbaw had four daughters, possible names: Monica, Agnes, Adeline and Agatha (taken from the back of a photo), born in the Ogdensburg area (late 1920's-early 30's) They didn't marry, broke up and Laura disappeared - according to my Aunt Genevieve, John's sister(deceased). She said Laura was a beauty.So, somewhere, I have/had four half-sisters and always wondered about them. I was born in 1940; no siblings. Does any of this fit? I'm in Albany, NY. Jackie

Surnames: Gedbaw
I have completed a little bit of research on the Gedbaw (Gadbois) family in and around Ogdensburg, St. Regis QC, Glengarry and Cornwall areas. My Great Grandmother was Frances S. Gedbaw, daughter of Francis Gadbois and Sophia Derouchie. The parents of Francis Gadbois was Francis Gadbois and Marie Pare (pronounced Perry). Francis Gadbois and Marie Pare had 12 children. I have the names of five. One of the five was a Levi Gedbaw who lived to be 102. Levi was born in Canada but lived and died in Ogdensburg. Levi had a daughter Laura Gedbaw born April 4, 1891. The time line of this Laura would seem to match the Laura you are looking for. Through cousins I had heard that she may have been married to a Waters but I have no additional information. I have attached the family group sheet for Levi and his family if it helps.

Thank you, Brian. The birthdate of Laura Gedbaw would match the time frame, as my father was born in 1899. It is entirely possible that she later married a Waters. Do you think your cousins might know something of Laura?

Every few years my parents will help plan a get together with some cousins in Ogdensburg, but I do not usually see or contact my cousins in between. I will send a note to my father to see if he knows more.

I looked in the online Ogdensburg Advance (1861-1962) (http://news.nnyln.org/) for Laura Gedbaw and found four references. Two of Laura Gedbaw Water's girls graduated from high school in 1935 and 1936, so it may not be the same Laura Gedbaw. There were 23 references for John Ring which may be helpful.

ok, here's what I know. This will also reference Levi Gedbaw, mentioned earlier.
I was home (in Ogdensburg) visiting the last few days and met with my gradmother. She gave me some info.
Levi Gedbaw did come to Ogdensburg from Canada and live to be 102 years old. One of his daughter's was Laura Gedbaw (the laura you've been looking for), one of his son's was named Ralph, who also lived in Ogdensburg and who is my Great-Grandfather. Laura did live in Ogdensburg in the 30's and married a man named Lou Waters. She then moved and at least at one point, lived in Madison, NJ for quite a while. My grandmother was not sure if she had kids or not, but said she wasn't living in Ogdensburg during the late 40's or early 50's because there was a 100th birthday party for Levi during that time in Ogdensburg and that Laura (and her sister Mary), stayed with my grandmother during that visit.
I do know that Laura had a sister named Mary, a brother named Ralph, and another brother named Frank, if this helps at all. Maybe you could find her by looking into madison, NJ.
Also, as a side note, my grandmother said that there was another family in Ogdensburg throughout the time, including Harry and Sally Gedbaw, and that they are not related to our family of Gedbaws. (if this helps at all too.) She did say that Laura is related to us, however.

I looked at your family chart, and just wanted to add, that I have the later generations of Ralph, and also of Francis (Frank)if you're looking for them. I also found out that Laura Gedbaw, married a man named Lou Waters, in case you needed the first name. I am a great-grandaughter of Ralph, also named Laura with a middle name of Frances, after Francis (Frank) and his daughter Grace Frances Gedbaw. Let me know if you're looking for anything further along these lines.
