They were dairy farmers in Kansas. I know they had a son named Reece, who died in WWII, and a son named Russ, who was an engineer on oil rigs. Last we saw of him, he was headed to the North Atlantic around 1970ish. There were daughters, too, Bub, Ethel, and someone else. I'm not sure of the rest of the family. Bob and Becky are both deceased for many years. I am seeking the family of these folks because they may have information on my father before he was their foster-brother. We have very little information on my dad's biological family. His biological father's surname was Pope and perhaps had been a British soldier or officer - we have no more than that. His mother was Mary Margaret Monahan or Monaghan. She died of TB shortly after they were divorced. The father got custody of my dad and left him at an orphanage. Thank you in advance for any assistance you may provide! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
