Grace was born on February 16, 1882 in New Brunswick, Canada to George Weldon Evans and Sarah J. Heather. In 1886 the family immigrated to America, settling in Brookline, Massachusetts, where George died in 1890 and Sarah in 1891. Their deaths left Grace an orphan at age nine, so this may explain why in some records her maiden name was recorded as "Allen". However, Grace's granddaughter Nadine always said her grandmother's maiden name was Evans, and research has proven this to be true.
According to the 1930 census record Grace married Charles Herman French when she was 17 years old which would have been in 1899. No marriage record has been found, so we can't be sure of the date or the place. Niether Grace nor Charles appear in any census records until 1910, so we can't be sure if they were in the US or in Canada. Their children were all born in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania.
