Wife abandoned both while Charles Edgar was young.

I'm planning on going to the Portland Public Library tomorrow(Friday) morning. I'll be doing look-ups in the Portland directories. If anyone would like me to do a look-up, please send names and year ranges to look-up. I will look up as many names as you would like. If there are lots of names, I will just copy the pages and mail them along to you. Please keep in mind the directories start in 1827 and every year is not covered. Here are the years that are covered: 1827, 30, 37, 44, 47-48, 50-51, 52, 53, 56-57, 58-59, 63-64, 66-67, 69, 71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 84, 85, 86, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 1894-2001. Deaths are recorded starting in the 1884 directory, but cover 1883 deaths, also. Sandra
