What is your fathers Dad's name? If it was Ralph (Shorty) then we have a connection. There are also other cousins living in MN. by the name of Betty and Beverly Blakesley. Beverly's married name is Dorsey.They are Lyle Blakesleys girls. Ralph died in 1963, also had a aunt Lois who lived in Morris,MN and helped Ralph raise his children when his wife Edith died in 1935. Aunt Lois died in 1962. Do any of these ring a bell? Hope to hear from you.
