It's awfully hard to aim for one particular person who you think you might be related to....and then try to make your known ancestors fit into their family. It's always best to start with what's known and then work your way back. What was your grandpa's full name and exactly where and when was he born? Where was he living in 1930, 1920, etc. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
