Mother: Natalie Davis, born in Virginia died around 1893. Father: Eli Lane, maybe born in Virginia, was a bridge engineer (supposedly). Grandfather: William Bennet Lane, was alive during the Civil War (I don't know why this bit of tradition has been passed down since its not that he fought or anything, just that he was alive then). Cousin: Perry Keith (Lane?), supposedly Frank spent part of his childhood with this cousin as his father traveled a lot and his mother died when he was born. Frank enlisted in the army in 1916 in Missouri and after he was discharged moved to New York City (where my grandmother was born) and lived there til his death in 1934. I have the 1930 Census for him, his army enlistment and discharge papers, and his death certificate. Suggestions? Thanks.
