Many of you have in the past tried to help me find the biological grandfather of my daughter as he was the mystery man of my research. The information I had was from my elderly ex-mother-in-law who divorced him in 1948 after only being married to him about 2 years. He left when my ex-husband was a baby, never to be heard of again. I found a Lee Allen Cooper Obit in the Kansas City Star 10/17/1997. Everything matched except his month and date of birth. So I wrote the funeral home an email and they responded with January 1, 1926 in St. Louis, Mo. being his birth information. They also stated he had one sister named Lolita Ledbetter. ( I doubted my ex-mother-in-law's memory on this first name, but she was correct) It said that Lee was the son of Claude and Mildred(Smith) Cooper. He was divorced and no record of any children. This would be because he never knew his son. Anyway, I wanted to ask if anyone has any connection to this family? I still have no confirmation on whether he is the father of my ex. (My ex is also deceased) So I will need to try and confirm this information somehow. But all the facts fit except the month and date of birth. I think I probably have him.
