Hi, my great grandfather Robert Hagan born in Co Down, Northern Ireland was married to Gustav and Sophia Le Droit's daughter Carolena born in 1894. They lived in Dawson County, Nebraska. Siblings were Amy born 1891, Emme M born 1895, Esther B born 1897, Dewey J born 1898, Hypolate F born 1900 and Polly H born 1901. Robert and Carolena also known as Lena had two daughters Emme born 1918 and Evelyn born 1923. Robert and Lena lived in Twin Falls, Idaho until they died in 1976 and 1977. I have their wedding photograph and also a few of their daughters and of themselves in later years. Although not a blood relative I would be interested to know the background of great grandfathers second wife's family. I also have info on Dewey's family. Hope this is of use. Regards.
