I only found out that you existed about three or four years ago. I got the Hood River location off the funeral records for your mom and dad. When I finally located two of grandpa's nephews the bible records of Eliza Taylor (your dad's mother) and she had noted your name and birth as January 25, 1933 and your brother as November 13, 1922. She did have his name down as Edward Joseph though, not James Edward.. I am living in Spring, TX which is about 40 miles from downtown Houston and we have been here for almost 10 years now. The Taylor Family Association, here in TX has been compiling a history of the family, now I will need to get a little info from you and hopefully it won't be too late to add it to the book which should be out before the end of the year. If you can, let me know a little about your family and your brothers. (name, date and place of birth/ death of spouses, children. I have all the info on your mom and dad, including a copy of their marriage certificate, November 30, 1920 in Globe, Gila, Arizona. Is your brother and his wife still living? I have a temporary death date of March 05, 1995 for Edward in Seattle but now I see that is wrong, since his first name is James, not Edward. I have a lot of genealogy on the Taylor family but really haven't worked on it much these past 10 months. I have been having a battle with Cancer and am hoping this last surgery took care of it. In fact, this is the first time I have been on the computer since July and what a wonderful surprise I got with your message. Ph. (281) 255-3116 e-mail <btaylor@wt.net> address: 25027 Rettendon Ct. Spring, TX 77389 Hope to hear from you soon, love to all Beverly
