I am so sorry I haven't gotten back to you! I have been so busy. I do have my grandfather's enlistment record plus census and his divorce decree from my grandmother. We have been in touch with his son John Kenneth (My Dad found a new 1/2 brother and 2 half sisters)and his sisters who were all born in California and now live in Wisconsin. As I understand from my Dad as well as from my new found uncle and aunts my grandfather wasn't a very pleasant man but still I want to know about him. I would like to know what he looked like in his later years. My new uncle gave me a pic of him when he was in the service. It was the first time I had ever laid eyes on him that I can remember. I would like a photo of his gravesite if possible. I know he has been married twice but we all suspect probably more than that. We have heard he has more children around the Las Vegas area. Just anything you can find. I am missing his marriage record to my grandmother. I don't know if she marri! ed him in California, Illinois or where. There doesn't seem to be any record I can find online. I found their divorce decree in Missouri or rather my grandmother's. She told me many years ago that she had to wait 7 years to declare him dead in order to obtain a divorce! Ha! Come to find out he wasn't dead until 1996. He just picked up and left. Kris anything you can find would great. And if there is anything I need to pay for like a photo please let me know. Thank you so much!
