Curt,
I'm some level of cousin to you.I knew Erwin and Hazel.They were my great uncle and aunt.Erwin's brother was my grandfather.They grew up in Two Rivers Wisconsin.Their grandfather was Joseph Archambault(Shambeau), he moved to Two Rivers from Canada about 1850.I do not know tie between the Two Rivers and Waupaca Shambeaus', although I would love to make one.
Heather I may have a clue for you.The afore mentioned Joseph Shambeau had 11 children while living in Two Rivers.The ninth one was Robert Shambeau, he was born in 1873.That would be the correct age to have married Lillian Bell Rice in 1895.The only other information I have on him is that he died 1922.This may be the long lost tie of the Waupaca Shambeaus to the Two Rivers Shambeaus.I would love to know the history of the desendants of Lillian and her children.
Thanks,
Tom Shambeau - Beaver Dam (ex Two Rivers Shambeau)
