In doing some research, we found that his bd is Aug 18, 1926 and died Sep 20, 1978. He has never met any family on his side and would like to. William was born in Missouri and died in Fresno, CA. I've ordered the death cert but I'm sure that will take a while. We don't have any idea what the names of his grandparents are or where until it arrives. Any help would be appreciated.
