Thanks to CalTeri for the suggestion to get Harry SHERWOOD's death certificate. That something so obvious should elude me for so long is a mystery. None the less, I have received it, and have the following additional information about my husband's grandfather: Harry (Henry) Jacob SHERWOOD born June 12, 1882, New York, New York died June 28, 1954, Ridgefield, Connecticut Wife's name: Mary ALBUS Father's name: Jacob SHERWOOD of New York, New York Mother's name: Sara QUACKENBUSH, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania The information on the death certificate was supplied by his middle son, Roland Albus SHERWOOD. What the meaning of the name Henry in parentheses means, I have no idea, but I will now search for Henry Jacob SHERWOOD of New York City to see if I can get any matches. Also, there have been some references to a Jacob SHERWOOD which I will check. Gerda Sherwood, NIST North 558, Mail Stop 8970, x 3354
