But found out he was born in Ohio. My mother was not allowed to mention any thing on her father or mother. Any thing she knew, she took to her grave, yet she wanted me to do the genealogy on him. Now I'm curious why she couldn't talk about him. I know nothing about his family, and spent eight years finding him. Such a shame for a man who served in WW1 and lost his leg. Thanks again, Paula
