**Circa 1932 – Shown left to right: Laura Hauser about 63 years old, Forrest Riley about 26 years old, William Francis Vadnais about 48 years old and Dorothy May Vadnais about 17 years old**
Willam Francis Vadnais is one of my grandfather Adlore Vadnais’ older brothers and Dorothy is William’s youngest child. Laura Hauser is Dorothy’s maternal grandmother and Forrest Riley is married to William’s oldest daughter Margaret.

**Circa 1951 – Posing in their Hudson. Charles Vadnais about 40 years old and daughters Patricia (Patty) around 4 years old and Julaine about 12 years old.**
In 1949 White Bear Oil Company started selling Hudsons. Charles was one of the partners in the company.

One other tidbit of information. Last night I watched Finding Your Roots with one of the guests being actress Sharon Stone. Near the end, she was told that Charlemagne was her 38th great-grandfather. Depending on the branch of the tree that you follow, Charlemagne is both my 39th great-grandfather and my 41st great-grandfather. That means that Sharon Stone is my 39th cousin once removed or my 39th cousin 3 times removed.

Thanks for visiting, come back soon,
Cynthia
