    3. I have been trying to research my dad's LEE family in Erie. My dad's father, William (Bill) John Lee, divorced my dad's mother about 1940 and rumor was he remarried within 10 years or so after that. We just recently found an old letter that had this woman's name. Her name in approximately 1982 was Mrs. CARMEN FARBO. Her maiden name was SORGER. Now we don't know if CARMEN FARBO is the new husband's name, or if her name is Carmen. We do know that apparently growing up, (when she was a SORGER), she lived in the 1300 block of W. 10th Ave in Erie in a house once occupied by Bill BRENNAN's family. The letter says that Bill Brennan was an architect and his wife worked for the Dept. of Public Welfare. The letter says that before WWII, Brennans sold the house to the Sorger family, who they believe later sold it to Dr. JACKMAN and in 1982 it was owned by Warren JONES. This Mrs. Carmen FARBO, in 1982, was supposed to be living at 3431 W. 41st St. in Erie. This info was given to my aunt at the time from a Jean or Joan CRONIN wife of Bob DAILEY, former county official. If anyone can possibly find out any further info based on this new info, it would be greatly appreciated. Someone already researched the Erie Co. marriage records for William LEE around that time and didn't find any. Some suggestions have been to check out the Ripley, NY area. That is where he married my Grandmother. I intend to check that out. Basically, my dad would like to know if this Mrs. Carmen Farbo did marry William Lee, his dad. And did they have any children? I guess the years would be sometime between 1940-1955 or so. I guess it would help to look up some census info from 1930 to see if this carmen is a male or female. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Laurel Anderson
