Rhode Island, is searching for her late father's family. Kim's father was Jack Lee BYARS, b. 21 April 1937, she believes in California, and d. 25 March 1976 in Julian, San Diego Co., CA. She believes that Jack's mother's maiden name was NEWMAN. Jack was Catholic and served in the Navy in the 1950's. Kim believes also that Jack had three other childern. They would be in their late 30's early 40's - some may be in the San Luis Obispo area. Jack may have married a woman named Sandy or this is one of his son's names. Kimberly's mother's maiden name is Welch and the family is all from the Providence, RI area. Any help or advice would be appreciated to help with her family research.
