I have been sitting quietly and jealously watching as so many of you make your GORDON connections. I have been researching my GORDON roots for over 5 years and still no connections. I thought I would try once more. I have never, ever found anything on my grandfather, Harry John GORDON, and he lived with us all my childhood. I have done all the basics, but if anyone has any more ideas, please let me know. Harry John GORDON - b. 1895 in New Jersey - married Lola Agnes LEAKE - 1923 - in Arkansas. They settled in Chicago and had 3 children-Harry, Jr., Shirley, and Thelma. He worked at Bell & Howell Camera until 1960 when he moved to Baytown, Texas with my family. My dad was the informant on the death certificate and he knew nothing. He died in 1974. I got a copy of his ss application and it said his parents were Stanley GORDON and Elizabeth RYAN. I can find nothing on them either. HELP!!! -- Carol Gordon Papke [email protected] COOMER GORDON LEAKE THOMPSON http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/5930
