Ethnicity & Family History

He was related to the DeVold of Norway. My grandma Joyce Lorraine DeVold Slocum said do some research and come back to me on what you find. And I did just that. That's what I ended up finding that her father Oscar DeVold is the son of Olaf DeVold he was Her Grandfather. Part of a legacy of The DeVold clothing industry. I had returned to My Grandma Joyce and I told her what I found and she said Marino sheep. That her family had made socks,underware,beany hats,sweaters. For fishermen. She said I was the smartest to figure that out. She said keep trying to find Jennette's kids Jean and Jone and Janet Ann. But I haven't been so fortunate to find them. It saddens me. I wish I could have found them before Grandma Joyce passed in 2017. My Aunt Doris,my Mother Marlene is also gone and I still haven't found anything. I just hope to tell them that they are loved and were loved by My Grandmother Joyce and My Mom her sister Doris, and little brother William Uncle Bill. I shared what I had learned with Uncle Bill. I just hope that the road don't end here. But the family tree hasn't been filled in about children after Joyce DeVold and Jennette DeVold. Maybe Aunt Jennette never got around to it. Document Or maybe kids didn't or have yet. Who knows maybe it's up to me. I'm not sure how to go about it. But if you know by all means do tell. God Bless.

Death date

I read a letter from my Great Aunt Jennette that he was bad off. And I remember my Grandmother Joyce DeVold told me he had Tibuculoses of the lungs. He kissed my Grandmother Ida Mae DeVold Adams not knowing that she had contacted TB from her brother coming back from the war. And later my mother told me that is why when she was little that she couldn't say goodbye to her grandfather up close. They didn't have any cures back then.
