Clara Virginia McClella is my great-great grandma on my mom's side. She was born 7-10-1849 and had married George Adam Lingle of PA (Dolphin county).

My mom's father's name was Thomas (Fred or Frank) Strunge. He had told her that his mother was a Native Indian and his father was from/near Canada (I have found various birth years for him - generally from 1903 to 1906) and that he had one brother (name unknown). He had also claimed that his parents had died when he was young and that he and his brother had gone to live with two old mean aunts (names unknown). He had run away from that home when he was a teenager.
