I bet that is mine. I cannot document his birth in CT, although that is what is on census records that I do have. I have his marriage documented and on down the line to me. The parents are who we think are the parents but cannot prove that, either. Thanks, I will check it out in the hopes it is someone else's and they have more info. Isn't this fun!
