Right on the money Mr. Wiz. The only problem I am having is with Joseph. Everyone in the family says Grandma Gertrude was engaged to Joseph when he died. Grandpa Harvey, Josephs brother, went to Chicago for the funeral and met and married Gertrude. I cannot find any documentation for this though. This is my stone wall.
