| Two names appear in records as to Eleanora's maiden name. One was a copy of Margaret's baptismal certificate which lists Eleanora Bervink as the mother. A Transcription of St. Anne Church in Alpena has several entries where her name is Benoit. Until such time as her birth, baptismal, and marriage registers are located. It will be assumed by me that her name was Benoit. |
