I've become quite competent at British, but the States is a whole new ballgame! I'm looking for any reference to Charles Joseph George LAKE, born Dorset, England in 1886, emigrated to the USA in 1907 (from the Elllis Island website). On his entry registration under the "going to friends, relatives" etc. section, it looks like White Springs Park? Was this an area in Pennsylvania? From the LDS website I have found a Charles Lake listed with Social Security # 179-10-9071, dying December 1970 and references to Jefferson, Montgomery and Norristown localities. Where can I go from with this information, to determine if he's "my" Charles Lake. I do know my Charles owned a fruit farm in Pennsylvania, and had three sons - not much, I know. Any and all suggestions/help would be gratefully received. If anyone has any connections, I can provide you with a wonderfully complete history for Charles maternal side! Linda, Ontario, Canada
