You are not only not giving any needed information; but also giving very misleading information. You are looking for Thomas Baker, who is really Neil Thomas Baker. He died in 1994; but your mother said he died in World War 2. This person was a brother of Darl B Baker, is that spelled Daryll? Is Darl/Daryll still alive, where is he living, or where was he living? Is your mother related to these two? Is your mother still alive? If so, ask her for information. If not, is there ANY other living person that is related to any of these people that you can ask questions? WHERE were they born? You are writing to the Washington List...but were they from Washington? I looked for Neil Thomas or Thomas Neil Baker without any findings in 1930 census of someone born in 1921. If he REally died in 1994, where? Can someone get his obituary? If your mother was related When and Where was she born? That will help in census reviews to find her siblings. If there is ANY family members, ask them first. Get the local information, then give ALL of the info you have. Otherwise...good luck. Ron Bestrom

----- Original Message ----- From: <RBestrom@earthlink.net> Ok...after more attempts, I found the 1930 census showing Neal T, Son age 9. He was son of Chester L Baker and Edithe. Chester 42 born in Nebraska, a pipe fitter; Edith 41, born in Iowa, a music teacher. A daughter Gladys L Counteri?? age 21, son Donald M 14, Darl or Darle 22 an auto mechanic, Doris I 10, Patricia L Counteri age 2yrs 4 months. It looks like they were residing at 5239?? on 25th Ave SW, in Seattle, WA. As far as WW 2 death or living to 1994...you'll have to check your family.
