Researching his siblings is a very good idea and one that should be followed when you have hit the brick wall. I hope that you succeed in finding what you are looking for.

My family information comes from primary sources for the most part. We were a very close family that lived in the same small area. My grandfather was the kind that did his own information giving. He was in Who's Who. He was active in community service. Very smart. No accent. His last census was 1920. He was 72 years old then. I doubt if he kept up with the history of Europe, so he just gave whatever information he thought of. I have checked every document in America. Hired a genealogist. We have hit a brick wall, but someone sent me some info in regard to his sister that may lead somewhere. I am a thorough researcher. ************** AOL Search: Your one stop for directions, recipes and all other Holiday needs. Search Now.
