Do you have more information on her family? My great-grandparents came from
Franklin Co., NY and there supposedly was an Eva born around 1900 which does
not relate to your great-grandmother's age. This line of Barbers is
"Barbeau" in Canada and Barber in the US. They were of French-Canadian
descent, possibly with Metsis blood also. I have information tracing both my
paternal great grandparents back to the 1600's in France. They came from
very large families for which I have been unable to trace many members. They
are found in the Bellmont and Malone, NY censuses and old correspondence with
relatives. The spelling of given names vary and spelling is questionable.
The census recorder probably was unable to understand their dialect, plus
they possibly did not speak English, nor could they read and write according
to the census. This is where a name as simple as Barber is recorded as
Barbo, Barbeau, Barbi, etc. Perhaps we have a connection.
