Gary Do you have a copy of your father's birth certificate? How about the birth certificate for Ruth MEHLING. For either 1913 or 1934 they would be found at: Erie County Health Dept. 420 Superior St. Sandusky OH 44870 For George MEHLING's Birth Record check: Erie Co. Probate Court 323 Columbus Ave. Sandusky, OH 44870 Certified costs $7.00, but I think that uncertified copies are $1.00 each. There are still a few MEHLINGs in Sandusky. If you like, I will give you their snail mail address privately. Carol
