Re: Ardelia Frances Cales born in Tazewell Co, Illinois

I am the GGG Grandaughter to Martha Agnes Cales, brother to John Baxter Cales, children of James Cales and Sarah Buchanan.I am descended down through the Gaines side.Martha Agnes married James Leslie Gaines.John Baxter Cales married Sarah Elizabeth Gaines.We have had no instances of ALS in our family line.I would be interested in knowing why it is believed the ALS has come down through the Cales instead of the Olds.It may be something we need to look for.
