Morrison and Julia Kramer (Unsure of the spelling of Kramer). Here is what I know: He had two siblings and he is believed to be the oldest of the three children. He had a brother named Joseph and a sister whose name is unknown, but is believed to start with the letter 'S'. It is believed that he grew up in the Hell's Kitchen area of Manhattan ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell's_Kitchen,_Manhattan ) On August 3rd, 1942 when he signed up for the Army, he lived in Queens County, NY. He had 1 year of college and his civil occupation was listed as 'Semiskilled occupations in fabrication of metal products, n.e.c.' He was discharged from the Army December 19th, 1942 after being at Cp (Camp?) Pickett, VA. Sometime between 1942 and 1950, he married Catherine Griffiths and had four children (One deceased) He died December 20th 1968. As you can see, I have no information from before his entry into the Armed Forces, perhaps you fine people may have more luck than I?
