Some Important Information, a must read for family.

My father Edgar Norman Nelmes (Ted) had an adopted brother John.

He married Mildred Dickie,

John and Mildred Nelmes had a number of children

John, Robert (Bob), Patty, Bonnie, Barbara, Margaret.

John is a schizophrenic.

Bob's full name I believe is Robert William Nelmes or Robert David Nelmes, one or the other.

He may have a son of one of those name also.

They have a descendent who may also be a schizophrenic and/or mentally handicapped.

They are not of our genetics.

My name is Robert Wayne Nelmes, same as a cousin from Sacramento and his grandfather.

They are descendents of John Nelmes of oxford county upper canada and Elk Grove Sacramento.

John Nelmes of Elk Grove Sacramento was my great grand father David Nelmes brother.

Both sons of William Nelmes of oxford county upper canada

John may have gone south and joined the US Cavalry.

He may have risen to Major.

He retired to Elk Grove, Sutters Fort in Northern California, present day Elk Grove, Sacramento.

He had a brother ' Berkley ', who also fought for the Union Army during the American Civil War.

They seperated in Pennsylvania, John going west, Berkley staying or going north by north east.

I do not know where, though I believe one of his descendents is in the Canadian Special Forces.
