Mary Lou >> Hi Mary Lou, thank you so much for responding. I have so many gaps that it seems difficult to begin my research but I'm hopeful. I have my husbands fathers name, of course, George Geary Parke, b: 1900 d: 1985 but I don't know when or where his father, Joseph Parke was born. Then I have William Park b:? d: 1898 married to Abigail Warnock b: Nov.16, 1829 d: 1889 and that they married in Cookstown, Ireland in 1848. My father-in-law was in the Marines and I was hoping that there might be some way to get his military records so that it might give me more information about his Mother and Father. If you know of a way of my obtaining this type of information would you mind letting me know? Sincerely, Mrs. Marilyn A. Parke [email protected] Hugs, Marilyn, Mi. I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on disk somewhere.
