On sept. 6, 1898. And when he was young he went into an orphanage. I don't know much about my grandmother except. Her birthday is July 4, not sure of the year. The orphanage my grandfather went into is in brooklyn. I would do this myself but I live in Oregon. And I am disabled. Any info would appreciated. My email address is: ugmug1944@yahoo.
