Juli, That sounds like a good idea. John Connor AUSTIN, Jr. was born 19 Oct 1913 in Jackson County, IL and died in Sep 1985 in Cape Coral, Lee, FL. His wife Chlomara DECK was born 5 Dec 1912 and died 9 Jun 1988 in Cape Coral, Lee, FL. I am sending this to save Kathryn the time of looking it up on the SSDI.
