Dear Marlene, You must focus on some way to get ahold of that BOOK. It well may have a biography in it and give his parents names, or at least his wife. This would be so valuable to you. Go to your local public library, and ask to speak with the reference librarian, and ask how you can get that book on InterLibrary Loan program. If they will locate the book for you, and they know how to do that, then a request is put in to get the book sent to your library. The other way is to find out where the book is, if it is at a medical library, then you could write them and ask for a copy of the page in which he is mentioned, and you can send them SASE and money to cover the copy charge. I also have a Doctor among my ancestors, and I was sent an entire biography on him when I emailed the Medical Library of Iowa, because he was from Iowa.

Thank you Lily, for the medical college idea. Although I already know his wife's name and his parents, it may well have further information that I don't have. Getting to my nearby library for interlibrary loan is iffy at best (our hours don't work out) and I already know that they WILL NOT do an interlibrary search if I call them or e-mail them. I must be there in person when the lady that does the searches is there. Marlene -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
