I recommend that you order a copy of your grandfather's death certificate from the state where he died. This may give you the name of his parents, depending upon the knowledge of the person completing the certificate. Also, look for copies of any deeds he may have had, wills or probate records. Happy hunting. Gerry HODGES Hackley in Houston At 02:32 AM 8/8/2001 -0600, you wrote: >My name is Heather Gahrmann. My grandfather was August Paul Jr. and my >grandmother was Shirley Lawrence.
