Surnames: Earl David Lawrence Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DAw.2ACIB/2397.1.1 Message Board Post: Im not sure where Earl David Lawrence was born... I haven't been able to trace that far . I do know that my father was born in Brooklyn NY Oct 24,1945. He had an older sister named Bernice. I know for sure that he was in the military. I have reason to beleive he was in the navy or coast guard . I have one letter that is not dated to my father from him talking about his ship heading back to San Francisco and Washington State. I think this letter was written before my dad married my mom in 1969 because E.D. asked "your'e not married yet?". Sooo.....those are the only things I know so far about any of E.D.'s whereabouts... do you have any advice on how to find out anymore than I know...I don't even know my dad' mom's name. I beleive they were divorced before Earl David died around 1975-6 right after I was born, Supposedly in San Francisco. He was an alcoholic and he died of liver disease. Please give me some tips...might help us both out HELP... Kim

This is a possibility.Several Earls, Earl D's and D Earls in California.
