Hi list, Pulling out all stops and need your help.  Have been researching surname BERTRUCHI all over Ohio, Illinois, and Iowa.  Time is off the essence as the family member wanting closure is ailing very quickly.  She is close to 90 years and has just suffered several more strokes, and isn't expect to live much longer.  She never knew anything about her husbands family and thus I am trying to help and now enlisted your help. Gr. Lewis born in Cook Co, Illinois the s/o of Mary Toddhunter and Joseph Henry BERTRUCHI. Sometime lived in Steubenville, Ohio.  Family story says due to a bad train accident both parents were killed (it is presumed this happened sometime around 1910-1920), and Gr. Lewis left Steubenville. His social security application is filed with Oxford Junction, Jones Co, Iowa in 1942. He is buried in the Porland, Oregon area; where his wife is ailing. Thanks, Sandy
