I'm hoping that you all are still looking into the Gicker name.
My connecting is very fleeting, at best, but I am hoping that you might be able to confirm/deny the information that I keep getting pointed toward. On point:
Walter Raymond Gicker - Born 1909 and died 1970
did he have a wife named Olive Rose (maiden name unknown)?
His father - James Chester Harrison Gicker - born 1888 and died 1972.
did he have a wife named Rachel LaLonde (married names St. Arnold, Archambault, Sternal and Johnson)?
I'm trying to connect the dots of my Archambault family. Rachel LaLonde St. Arnold married a Joseph L Archambault of Duluth Minnesota having a daughter Betty Mae. Joseph's first wife, Lelia Lowe, had died leaving him with 6 children. He went on to marry Rachel, who had several children of her own. They divorced.
Betty Mae died in 1960 shortly after childbirth. According to her obit she was survived by her mother Rachel Gicker and sister Olive Gicker both of Florida.
I've not been able to find out who Olive's father was. I believe there was a husband to Rachel before St. Arnold but I can't find anything. I really just want to confirm Olive's maiden name and that her mother's maiden name was LaLonde.
I'm assuming - and yes it is truly an assumption - that Rachel had been widowed again (or maybe divorced) and somehow met Olive's father-in-law. They then married.
Its very confusing.
Let me put down some info if it helps:
Rachel LaLonde born in Duluth, Minnesota in 1890. Lived for a time in Canada before returning to Duluth in about 1920.
