Looking for Oscar Crandall which was Oscar Camedula?

[skyebaer]

My great Uncle Oscar Crandall ran a bus company in Rutland Vt in the early
1940's? Not sure when it started..he sold it to Greyhound in !953 I think.
When i researched his name the surname Camedula came up in one census survey, Any info would be more than i have thanks! Deb

yes i do but i pretty well dead end there..cant trace the sister or his mother.
altho i've been assuming that the John Crandall buried near him was a brother..maybe not...the burial plot says Jasmine,,he was a nephew to them.
( thats the surname..was prev Janvier) Wasa hoping i could go further with the Italian surname! Thanks deb

thats almost exactly the last one i found,,before i lost them entirely. Thats how i knew the names had changed. Im sorry I'm not good at expressing what i already have..i'm new to this! thanks for the reply!

[VaDeb]

I don't think Camedula is the correct spelling of the surname. Ellis Island has 0 entries spelled like that. Also negative on http://gens.labo.net/en/cognomi/genera.html

I believe that Camedula is only a bad transcription of Crandall surname in 1910 census; Oscar Crandall having not italian heritage... just my suggestion...

Have you obtained the marriage and death records of these ancestors? They will provide clues in tracing back the next generation. Not all answers can be found in online research.

I was hoping that Suanj would recognize Camedula as a misspelled Italian Surname. The census record does support her suggestion. Hopefully additional research will provide the answers you are looking for.

Debbie

[skyebaer]

Thanks for the input! So you think the Census taker just garbled the name Crandall? I am unsure how to obtain marriage and death records other than online,,and until recently i had no idea when he was born,,the cemetery doesn't even have the date in their books ( i wanted to put a grave marker there) nor did his obituary. Plus it says 3 children.. i didnt even know there was a sister. Nobody ever mentioned her when i was growing up. thanks again, deb

[img=http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/782/ ... 920.th.jpg]

he was the nephew of the head of this family and possible he was the father of the grand-niece Madeline, age 5.... he stated he was married but there isn't his wife on the census, maybe he was already widowed?

and this is the 1930 census for Oscar:

This is the confusing part..he was the fatherf of Madelaine...why is he living with the Jasmines? Because of the child? ( i know there no way to research that) BUT i know he was not immediately woidowed,,they were seperated somehow because she drank..the Eva Vernon is my great aunt.and was his 2nd wife. But their marriage was later becauase he was already married when they met. Gordon Ackerly was his business partner in the bus company which they ran friom that address ( i grew up there years later) And Earl Vernon was her younger brother how do i find the marriage records?
Thanks so much for all your help!

[pink67]

i didnt even know there was a sister. Nobody ever mentioned her when i was growing up

I was looking better the 1920 census image for Oscar and family... Have you noticed there was a girl living with them all? She was Isabella Stone, niece of the head Fred Jasmin? 11 years old, born in New York...

I tried to search something for Minola Crandall (Oscar's sister) and found an interesting 1920 census manifest:

Do these names light something?
There are no other Minola living in Rutland...

this is the 1930 census for the same Minola...

maybe Oscar and Minola's mother remarried? or maybe the last name was mispelled.... I think the two girls Isabella and Lavinia Stone both born in NY were related to the family....

How do i find the marriage records?

Possible Oscar did marry around 1914/15 as Madeline was 5 years old on 1920....

The Mormons microfilmed the civil records for the town of Rutland:

you can search by yourself using their microfilms... here is the link to find your nearest Family Histoyr Center:
