James, just for the record, the 1930 census for St. Clair, Illinois shows that your gr grandfather, Frederick E. Mote, was born in Illinois. He apparently didn't know where his parents were born as he listed their birth places as the United States. Cheryl In a message dated 27/09/2008 12:50:25 P.M.
