Yes, Melanie! you are correct, "Adolphus" is in fact my great-grandfather, Delphis G. Marcotte born in 1870, son of Joseph Marcotte and Josephine Giroux. My grandmother (who just turned 100!) remembered the names of 2 of Delphis's brothers:
Narcisse and Patrick, but she could not remember Delphis's Fathers name and neither could my father. I now have a copy of the marriage record and can confirm this.
The interesting fact about all this is that there was no familymemory of anyone moving to Kansas, just that we had relatives there. Well, through census data I have traced Joseph and Josephine there until sometime after 1880, when it looks like they moved back to the Kankakee area.
Many thanks,
Robert Delphis Marcotte Jr
