******************
2024: Researched and compiled by Catherine (Clemens) Sevenau, a distant shirt-tail relation: the father of my sons was the son of Louis Dunand Sevenau. Louis’ parents were Ernest Eugene Sevenau & Edna [Clement] Kellogg. Edna’s 2nd husband was Milo Bailey Kellogg with whom she had two children, the older being Leo Yates Kellogg. Leo was married three times and his 3rd wife was Joan Marie Egts. This is Joan’s line, which makes me six degrees of separation.
Thank you to Margaret Beatrice (Kellogg) Andersen, the only child of Leo Yates Kellogg & Ida May McKay. She graciously provided much of the information and family photographs in this post.
Also a huge thank you to Margaret’s half-sister, Elsie [Heather] (Kellogg) Reed, the daughter of Leo Yates Kellogg & Joan Marie Egts, for her generous contribution of family photos and her maternal Egts history.
