Surnames: Taphorn Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/kFB.2ACE/496.1 Message Board Post: Ernest Glen Taphorn may have been my grandfather. I was born in Nashville, TN in 1938. My Mother was Rose Catherine Taphorn, the second child of Aliene Parker and Ernest Taphorn. According to my Aunt Margaret, the third child of Aliene and Ernest, her father, Ernest had been married before and his wife had died in childbirth. She remembers the name Clemons and says he may have lived with them for a short time either on Joseph Ave or North First Street in Nashville. Margaret does not remember her father, but says he left them shortly after she was born (about 1920-22) and moved to Michigan. Aliene and Ernest had three children - Mildred, born about 1917, Rose, born about 1920 and Margaret, born about 1922. Mildred and Margaret are still alive and live in California. Does any of this connect?
