Just a quick note to mention an uncle who became estranged from the family ~1950. His new wife brought "her family" into the marriage who caused many problems. So, he left the State. We don't know where he first moved to, but we're found out he eventually made his way to Florida. According to a step-child in AZ, he had had a 30-year marriage in FL, possibly in the Ft. Myers area, but just a guess. That wife (unknown name) died in the 1980's, and afterwards he moved to Phoenix, AZ. He soon remarried, and they had a good relationship until both died within months of each other in the 1990's. His father in MA and CT was known by 2 nicknames: "Sy" and "Dean." And, it seems that he was also known by either "Sy" LEWIS or "Dean" LEWIS. He did have one child in MA before he left the area. It is not known whether he had additional children. There is the chance he had children while living in FL. I'd like to know if anyone knows about the life of my uncle. I last saw him when I was 4 or 5. And, as far as I know, he never made contact with any family in MA after he left, and for the rest of his life. Betty (near Lowell, MA) FYI: "Sy" or "Dean" LEWIS had an uncle, George "Sanford" KIDDER, Jr., who also became estranged from the family during his 20's. In 1958, he wrote to say he was living in Riverside, CA. I found out that he had a wife and step-children there. He died there in the 1960's.
