I posted this elsewhere but I may as well post it here in case anyone here could help me I've been looking into my great-great-grandfather Henry Elmer Lynn. He was born in Wisconsin Feb 26 1883 as Henry E Goff, but according to my grandmother both of his parents were older and already had adult children and they died soon after his birth. I would say between 1884-1900. None of his adult siblings took him in so he was adopted into another family with the last name "Lynn" that I also know nothing about.
He is listed as being Irish on a census but I cannot confirm whether or not that is true. He married my great-great-grandmother in North Dakota around 1908-1909 and then immigrated to Canada in 1910. I mostly want to find out anything about his biological and adoptive parents.
His Wife is Gunda Torgerson and His sons are William Howard and Earl. He supposedly has siblings named Eda, Evie and Frank Goff but I have been unable to find any information on them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
