My Brandt family came to the US in 1850 and it looks like this Roy Brandt's family was
here well before that. He was born 1895 in Grand Forks ND and his father, Wallace E.
Brandt, was b. 1853 in Iowa and his grandparents were born in Ohio.
By the way I noticed that his father, Wallace, was married to Louella M.. b. 1873 in MN.
I found a Louella
Cady living in Ottertail Co., MN. There are other Cady's living in Ottertail Co. MN
and a lot of Brandts in Grand Forks, ND. One of these is Howard who has a son by the name
of Sanford, which just happens to be your Roy Brandt's middle name. Coincidence or
what?
Also it seems that Roy came to Washington to work on building the Grand Coulee Dam. He
lived in Electric City which was created to house workers on the Dam. He apparently lived
there until he had to move to Spokane for his health, since the WA State Death Index lists
both places as place of death. I hope this is of some help to you.
