She was not married at the time my grandfather was born, 1900, and gave him up to a friend of the Crescy family who adopted him. We’ve never been able to identify with certainty the father of my grandfather but it seems that George W. Monroe is a serious possibility. Elsie was on stage with George W Monroe in Mrs O’Shaughnessey 1899-1900.Would you know of any publications, or other sources such as diaries, that would contain vaudeville “gossip”from 1899-1900? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
