Hi Listers, Can anyone help me with this one??? Back in the 30's my g grandfather went "out for a loaf of bread" and was never heard from again, leaving his wife and 4 children dirt poor. Using the SSDI I think I have tracked him down! Could somebody in that area do a look up in census, old phone book, whatever, for this elusive bum.. Orde Percival MARSHALL SS# 137012990 Maplewood, Essex, NJ 07079 died 1973 That is all the info I was able to get, he must have been about 80 ish when he died. He was born in Nova Scotia, and ran away from Essex, Essex cty, MASS If possible I would like to know where he worked, or whatever was his situation ( remarry, kids?? )when he lived there. Maybe an obit would give info. Whatever info you can get. I would love to solve this longtime family mystery!!!! Thank you for your help Renay NH/MASS
