My grandfather Raymond J Traupmann was born in Illinois on April 4, 1889. His father was born in Scotland and his mother in Wisconsin (based on census records). Sometime around 1894 (marriage of assumed mother and adopted father was June 17, 1894) he was adopted and given the last name of Traupmann. Rumor has it that his fathers last name was LeRoy, which is now my last name. The information is very important as it is where my bloodline stops.
