Based on some information I found on the internet today, I believe I am a grandson of John Couwlier and Sidonie Meinke.
My father was Cyril J. Couwlier. His siblings were Emil, George, Joseph, Felix, Lena Decker, Anna Naeyaert, Mary Siefferline (Seifferline?), Delia Smith, Florence Couwlier (never married) and Bertha Couwlier (never married).
The source I found today listed two Mary Couwliers, but I have solid documentation that lists only one. Maybe the second one was a child who died at birth??
My mother was estranged from my father's family after his death on December 16, 1947. I was nine then, so I have little recollection or information about his family. She remarried in 1955 to Hugh M. Montgomery. I would appreciate more information about John and Sidione, their ancestors or their children.
