Thought I would repost my "brick wall" in hopes someone may have info for me
or be related to this man.
William Edward Hoover was born ca 1879 in California. By 1903, he had
married Ida Delpha Carsten, daughter of Frederick William (Frederick Wilhelm)
Carsten & Neoma/Naomi Manes. Will & Ida had six children:
1) Gladys May b. 1903 m. Albert Findley
2) Wilbert M. b. 1907
3) Carl b. 16 July 1910, CA d. 09 Sept 1897 b. Lodi, CA
4) Richard b. 1912
5) Evelyn b. 1914?
6) Doris b. 1916, m. ? White
Ida died in the influenza epidemic in December 1918, and left Will & six
small children. By the 1920 census, Will only has daughters Gladys & Doris
with him ~ the other 4 children are with other families - the three boys are
together, and Evelyn is with a separate family.
I am desperately seeking info on William ~ who were his parents, siblings?
Where was he born?
If by any chance, someone on this list is related to this Hoover family, I
would love to hear from you ~ Ida was my grandmother's aunt and I have much
more family data to share.
