MY HUSBAND'S LINES

BEALS/BALTZ This is my Husband's line. We are searching for more information on Andrew Baltz, his 1st wife Charlotte Strutt died between 1905-1910. Andrew is found in 1910 Buffalo Census with Charlotte's brother, Alfred Strutt the two children Charlton & Bessie and a housekeeper. Andrew either remarried or was living with Bell Kirk. She gave his 2 children to a german catholic orphanage in Buffalo, NY. Reason for being given to orphanage was father deserted family and mother does not care for properly. The two children were Charlton Baltz, my husband's grandfather and Bessie, Charlton's Sister. Looking for information on why Charlotte died, where Andrew went and any other family members.
