You're welcome. Now that I know his name was Frank, I'm guessing it would be easier to find out more about his ancestors and descendants. If you're certain he came from Green Bay, that should make it easier too. I'd search for Frank, Francois, Francis, etc., with a birth date in the 1870's or 1880's as a starting point.

The Kayser family at that point in time seemed to float from Brown County/Green Bay and Little Suamico in Oconto county. These are the areas where they probably connected.

I am now almost certain that Tilly Kayser married Frank Pigeon. I found a marriage record for Tilly Kayser and Frank Pigeon, both with a marriage date of September 16, 1901 (in the Green Bay area). This must be them.

I also found a 1920 census record for Ward 4 in Green Bay, that listed Frank J. Pigeon as living with his father - Peter Pigeon - and sister - Mary Pigeon. Peter was widowed; Mary was single; and Frank was divorced.

Does any of this make sense to you?

It certainly does make sense. Their daughter was born 1906 and from that point forward I find Tilly and her daughter Beata living with her mother.

Thank you for the marriage date. Also for the name of his father and sister.

Kayser family was in Milwaukee in 1922 (at least for a Christmas gathering).

So it all does make some sense. Frank must have moved back home with his Father after the divorce. You can check our my tree (Pigeon Lanser Family Tree) online at ancestry.com. I have tried to update it with information on Frank and the rest of his family.
