Biography

Gertrude was told by her mother in the late 1980s that Marion Brumbaugh was not her biological father. She wouldn't confess who the father was. We were uncertain if she just didn't know for sure who was or if she just didn't want to say. Now with DNA, my and my aunt's DNA matches with William Cantwell's descendants to put him as the probable father. He also lived in the same area as May Burkybile. They were both single at the time that their relationship would have occurred with both of them marrying other persons shortly after conception. You can contact me through private message through my profile, Donna (Tucker) Baumann, if you have an interest in this connection. Donna Baumann January 2023
